Exciting half day boat tours

from 18,000 THB
full or half day options

Within range of Koh Samui are a number of island options that are achievable with a cost effective half day boat charter.

Koh Som (Orange Island)

This is the easiest and most cost-effective way to enjoy a Koh Samui boat tour. Located just off the north-eastern corner of the main island, this pair of islands (Koh Som and Koh Lum Mu Noi) offer the perfect quick half-day trip off Samui. During high season, it is very easy to join a group tour so even people traveling alone or as a couple can enjoy a boat charter from Koh Samui.

With idyllic beaches, excellent snorkeling and a small restaurant, it is a perfect place to sit and admire Samui as an island.

Koh Taen

A small island located off the south-western corner of Koh Samui, which is an excellent stop off on our Koh Samui Island tours. Whilst the island has suffered a change in its habitation with most of the islands’ natives moving to Koh Samui for job opportunities, some remained and provide food options for visitors. Whilst on the island, it is easy to travel around the island, go snorkeling or kayaking, and enjoy the mangrove forests.

Koh Mudsum (Pig Island)

Located just across the water from Koh Taen is the smaller Koh Mudsum (or Matsum) Island. Famous of its pigs which swam there from Koh Taen, this island features beautiful beaches and a bar. All there is to do is check out the pristine waters whilst snorkeling or head out to do a lap of the island by kayak. For those that are here to relax, you can simply lay out on the beach and enjoy the pigs.

5 star ratingPerfect day on the sea Perfect day on the sea.
We chartered on 2 separate days the 43ft Belize catamaran “ Kindred Spirit “ and what a great choice that was. From the very responsive and super helpful Charterer Chris to the very experienced and super friendly Captain Lek and his crew we were fully taken care of at every turn. To experience Koh Samui from the sea is a fantastic way of getting a better sense of the beautiful island and the amazing landscapes all around. The food on the boat was equally great and of quite unexpected quality. We will for sure be back someday to “wash, rinse,dry & repeat”⚓️

We have your tour!

Whatever your dream, now is the time to start that conversation. At Samui Luxury Boats we believe that dreams can come true.

Koh Tan, Koh Mudsum & Koh Rap FAQs

How do I get to Koh Tan?

To visit Koh Tan from Koh Samui, one of the most popular methods is by speedboat. These boats are a convenient and fast option, usually taking about 20-30 minutes to reach the island. Reputable charter companies provide “joining tours” allowing people to pay by the person to join a boat going to Koh Tan.

For those seeking a more personalised journey or travelling in a larger group, chartering a private boat to Koh Tan is an excellent choice. This option allows for more flexibility regarding departure times and planning your itinerary. Private boat charters can be arranged at the piers or through local tour operators in Samui.

How do I get to Koh Mat Sum?

To visit Koh Mat Sum, also known as Pig Island, near Samui, Thailand, you have several travel options. Speedboat tours are a popular choice, offered by many tour operators in Samui. These tours often include convenient hotel transfers, snorkeling equipment, and visits to other nearby islands, making for a comprehensive day trip.

For a more tailored experience, hiring a private boat charter is an excellent option. This allows you to customize your itinerary and enjoy Koh Mat Sum at your own pace. Alternatively, joining a group tour is a cost-effective way to see the island. These tours usually combine visits to multiple attractions, including snorkeling spots and other islands, offering a diverse and social experience.

Where is the pig beach in Koh Samui?

For a unique adventure on Koh Samui, consider visiting Pig Beach, also known as Koh Mad Sum or Pig Island. This charming spot is known for its friendly pigs roaming freely on a beautiful beach, creating a memorable experience.

Pig Beach is nestled on the northeastern coast of Koh Samui, Thailand, on the small island of Koh Mad Sum. Reaching this enchanting destination is easy with a brief boat ride from Koh Samui, making it an accessible and fascinating addition to your travel itinerary.
