- Excludes: hotel transfers, lunch, the Koh Madsum landing fee
The Trip
You board on Samui’s south coast around Thong Krut and cross to Koh Madsum, where pigs roam the beach. There is time for a swim and a short walk up to a viewpoint. The longer stop is Koh Taen, with about two hours to snorkel over the reefs off the island or stay on the beach. On an afternoon departure you may catch the sunset on the ride back.
Watch out: The pigs are used to visitors, but they can push and nip at feeding time. Keep an eye on small children around them.
Who It Suits
It suits couples, families and small groups who want the south-coast islands without a crowded speedboat. If you want a bigger day with lunch included, look at a full-day Pig Island tour instead.
Insider Tip: Bring cash in baht for the Pig Island landing fee, and reef-safe sunscreen for the snorkel stop.
