Pickup window08:00–08:30If you booked a transfer, our driver will pick you up in an air-conditioned minivan between 08:00 and 08:30, depending on where you're staying. We will then drive to the pier in the south of Koh Samui.
If you didn't book a transfer, please self-arrive to the pier 15 minutes before the tour starting time.
We board the private speedboat for the Pink Dolphin & Pig Island tour and head towards the mainland. The ride takes about 30 minutes. Once we arrive, we will watch the dolphins in their natural home.
Our speedboat will take you and your group to Koh Tan, an island near the south side of Koh Samui. Here, you can snorkel in the clear waters around a beautiful reef. Explore the underwater world or relax on the boat. Masks and snorkels are provided.
After snorkeling, it’s time to visit the pigs on Pig Island. The tour then continues to the nearby island of Madsum. Here, you can see the famous pigs and relax on the beach. There’s a small restaurant where you can enjoy some drinks, including alcoholic beverages, if you like.
Unfortunately, all good things must come to an end. At 13:00 we’ll board the speedboat for a short ride back to Koh Samui, which takes about 15 minutes. If you booked a transfer, our driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel or villa on Koh Samui. The private speedboat tour ends here!

FAQs
Yes, during the tour, it will be just your group. No one else will be joining.
If you booked lunch, we provide a tasty Thai-style lunch on your return to the pier in Thong Krut (Koh Samui). The extra costs are THB 250/person. You can also order snacks and drinks on Pig Island if you wish.
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.
We don’t accept babies and toddlers on this trip. The minimum age is 4, mainly because the trip to the mainland is lengthy. Kids between 4-9 years old enjoy the kids' price for this excursion.
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
A deposit is required for all private tours if you chose to pay cash on tour option. After you submit your booking, we will send you an email with deposit payment instructions. Please note that your booking is not confirmed until we receive the deposit. This deposit helps us secure the boat and arrange all services specifically for your group. We use secure and reliable payment channels to ensure your information is protected.
To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for back problems, heart conditions or pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

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.

I really enjoyed this trip. It wasn’t too long or too short, just right. The pink dolphins were cool to see, and we got close enough for some good pictures. The boat ride was smooth, and it felt safe the whole time. The guides kept it low-key, which I liked. Nothing over the top, just a calm, enjoyable trip.
