What to expect
Your afternoon escape starts with a seamless pickup from your accommodation, whisking you away to the southern shores of Koh Samui. Upon arrival at the pier, you'll receive a warm welcome and a brief safety orientation from our friendly guide. Once settled, you’ll step aboard a charming traditional longtail boat and leave the mainland behind, cruising across the sparkling Gulf of Thailand as the midday sun begins to soften.
The first chapter of your adventure unfolds at the vibrant coral gardens of Koh Tan. Here, you’ll have ample time to dive into crystal-clear waters and snorkel among thriving reefs teeming with tropical fish. After exploring the underwater world, enjoy a short, scenic cruise to the famous white sands of Koh Madsum (Pig Island). This is your time to relax and play; whether you're snapping photos with the island’s friendly resident pigs, paddling a kayak through the turquoise shallows, or simply lounging on the pristine shore, the island is yours to enjoy.
As the day matures, we head to the tranquil shores of Koh Rap for a truly magical conclusion. You’ll have the late afternoon to immerse yourself in beach activities or soak in the serenity of this hidden gem. The highlight of the journey is unwinding right on the soft sand, taking in the spectacular coastal views as the sky transforms into a stunning canvas of pink and orange. After witnessing the breathtaking sunset at your own pace, you’ll enjoy a peaceful longtail boat cruise back to the pier under the twilight sky, followed by a comfortable transfer back to your hotel.

Important Information

- Ensuring your safety is our top priority. To that end, we strongly recommend wearing a life jacket throughout the entire boat ride to the islands and while snorkeling.
- Speedboats navigate close to the shoreline, allowing passengers a convenient and effortless transition to the beach.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.
- Shorts are ideal as they dry quickly and allow for greater freedom of movement, especially if the water level reaches above your knees when getting on or off the boat.
- This tour is not recommended for infants under 3 years old, pregnant women or people with back or neck problems.
- There is a minimum of 10 people required to run this activity! On the rare occasion that we should be required to cancel this trip, we will inform you in advance and offer a different travel date, an alternative activity or provide a full refund.
