We board the speedboat for the Pink Dolphins & Pig Island tour and head to the mainland. This takes about 30 minutes. Here we watch the dolphins in their natural surroundings. Afterwards we visit the Pancake rock to take some photos.
Enjoy a tasty seafood lunch on the beach in Khanom on the mainland (Monday, Wednesday, Friday and Sunday. On remaining days, the lunch is at a beach restaurant on Samui). We have vegetarian and halal options available. If you wish, you can go swimming at the quiet beach as well.
Our speedboat brings us to Koh Tan, an island close to the south side of Koh Samui. Here you can go snorkeling on a beautiful reef. Enjoy the underwater life or relax on the boat. Masks and snorkels are provided.
After snorkeling it’s time to visit the pigs on pig island. The tour continues to the neighbouring island of Madsum. Here you can see the famous pigs and relax on the beach. There is a little restaurant here if you wish to drink some (alcoholic) beverages.

This day tour from Koh Samui to the pink dolphins in Khanom, Koh Taen and Koh Madsum (Pig Island) is a great way to see the islands south from Samui and a bit of the mainland.
Our driver will pick you up in the morning from your hotel or villa in Koh Samui. We head to the pier in the south of the island, where we board the speedboat with a minimum of 15 and maximum of 29 passengers. Our trip to Khanom takes around 30 minutes. There we will watch the dolphins from the speedboat. Please note that they are in their natural habitat and free to go anywhere. After dolphin-watching we have a look at the pancake rock, a distinct rock on the shore.
We then take the speedboat to Koh Tan, which is south of Koh Samui. There you can go snorkeling along the reef. Enjoy the amazing underwater world before we head to the neighbouring pig island Koh Madsum. See the pigs on the beach and have a swim here. This is really a bounty island so don’t forget your camera! At 2:00 p.m. (14:00) we board the speedboat again for a 10-minute ride back to Koh Samui. There we will enjoy a delicious Thai-style lunch. From here you will be transferred back to your hotel or villa on the island. You should be home by 3:00 p.m. or 15:00.
FAQs
You can expect a delicious Thai-style seafood lunch on the beach in Khanom. There will be several (halal or vegetarian) choices like a rice, vegetables, stir fried, seafood and a dessert. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.
The dolphins are free to roam anywhere. There is a very, very small chance that we can’t find them. That’s why we can’t guarantee with 100% certainty that you will see them. We cannot make a refund in case the dolphins couldn't be spotted that day.
The best time to visit is between February and August when the seas are relatively calm. The pink dolphins stay where they are year-round, as do the pigs. Are you coming in rainy season? Then it’s still a good time to do the pink dolphin & pig island tour when the seas are calm and the temperatures are lower.
Yes, young children are welcome on this tour. This tour is free for infants between the ages of 0-3. Children of ages between 4-9 years enjoy the kids' price for this excursion.

Der Busfahrer kam bei Abholung nicht zum Hotel, sodass wir nur durch Zufall mitbekommen haben, das er weiter vorne vom Hoteleingang stand. Er kam auch nicht zum Hotel, um zu schauen, ob die Gäste dort sind. Wahrscheinlich hätten wir fast den Bus verpasst. Die Tour ansich war großartig. Der Plan allerdings etwas abgeändert, als wie angegeben. Hat aber alles gut geklappt und gelohnt hat es sich auf jeden Fall.
