FAQs
No, the boat is reserved for your party. You'll still see other visitors at the islands and reef.
Yes. Thai lunch after returning to Thong Krut is THB 250 per person. Add it when booking. Anything you buy on Pig Island is a separate purchase.
A sighting cannot be guaranteed. There is no refund solely because the tour does not encounter dolphins.
No season guarantees a sighting. The dolphins move freely, and the sea conditions on your day also affect the search.
Children must be at least four. Babies and toddlers aren't accepted on this route. The booking is priced by boat capacity, so the listed tiers don't have a separate child ticket.
You can cancel or change your date without charge up to 24 hours before the tour starts. Any payment already made will be refunded. Cancellations within 24 hours and no-shows are non-refundable. If the operator cancels for weather or safety reasons, you can choose another date or a full refund.

Absolutely amazing experience! We had such a wonderful day and would recommend this tour without hesitation. Our guide and driver were incredibly kind, attentive and considerate throughout the whole trip. We never felt rushed and they really made sure we were comfortable and could enjoy every moment. The absolute highlight was finding a group of pink dolphins — and what made it even more special was seeing that our guide and driver seemed almost as excited as we were! 🐬💗 Their genuine enthusiasm made the moment unforgettable. Everything felt personal, relaxed and very well organised. A truly special day and definitely one of our favourite experiences on Koh Samui. Thank you so much!

I liked the tour and seeing the dolphins, but we didn’t get as close as I hoped. The boat ride was nice, and the guides were kind. It wasn’t a long trip, which was good for us since we had other plans. Worth it if you’re looking for something simple and quick.

The dolphins were really cool, but it felt like we didn’t have enough time to enjoy the ride. The crew was nice and helpful, though, and the boat was comfortable. Overall, it was good but could’ve been a little longer. Still happy I got to see the dolphins.

This was a fun, simple tour. Seeing the dolphins was definitely the highlight, but the boat ride itself was nice too. The guides didn’t push too hard to make it exciting, which I liked—it just felt natural. It wasn’t a very long trip, but I think that made it easy to fit into the day. We got some nice photos, and the crew helped point out the dolphins when they appeared. Just a really chill and memorable experience.

This was such a nice way to spend the morning. The dolphins were beautiful, and the guides were kind. The boat was clean, and it felt like the right amount of time on the water. It wasn’t a fancy tour, but that made it feel more relaxed and real. We even got a few tips about where to eat nearby, which was helpful.
