Planning

Historical Context

Until the late 20th century, Koh Samui was an isolated coconut-farming and fishing community. Boat tours now follow the ancient routes once used by local traders and fishermen.

Photography Tips

  • Use a polarizing filter to cut glare on the water
  • Golden hour starts around 5:15 PM for sunset cruises
  • GoPro/Waterproof cameras are essential for snorkeling

Insider Tips

  • Ask your captain to visit the islands in reverse order to avoid the biggest crowds
  • Bring a waterproof bag for your phone and camera
  • Apply sunscreen 20 minutes before getting in the water

Our Partners

  • Proudly partnering with Viator and local Thai maritime experts.

Fun Facts

  • Koh Tan has no dogs because locals believe they cannot survive on the island's unique spiritual energy (or more likely, the lack of fresh water!).
  • The 'pigs' on Pig Island were actually rescued from a mainland market by a local resident.

Cancellation Policy

Most tours offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before departure. Some private charters may require 48-72 hours notice for a full refund.

Unforgettable day at Pig Island

Booking was so easy. The speedboat to Koh Madsum was quick and the pigs are so cute! The lunch at Koh Tan was delicious Thai food. Highly recommend.

Great snorkeling at Koh Tao

The water at Koh Tao is like an aquarium. The tour was well organized, though the boat was a bit crowded. Still, a 10/10 experience for the views.

Private Fishing Success

We booked a private fishing trip through this site. The crew knew exactly where to go and we caught several barracuda. The boat was clean and comfortable.

Full Moon Party Transfer

Used the speedboat service for the Full Moon Party. Very reliable, they picked us up from the hotel and got us back safely at 4 AM. Great service.

Beautiful Nang Yuan View

The hike to the viewpoint is steep but worth it. The snorkeling was decent, but the beach at Nang Yuan is the highlight. Smooth booking process.

Best Day in Samui

The Birds Nest Islands are breathtaking. Our guide explained the history of the islands while we cruised. Lunch was a massive buffet. Great value.

Lovely Sunset Cruise

A very romantic way to end the day. The catamaran was stable and the food was high quality. Wish it lasted an hour longer!
