Join Tour Koh Tan & Koh Mudsum by Speedboat from Samui

Must Do Experiences

• Snorkel among colourful tropical fish and pristine coral reefs at Koh Tan, one of Thailand's most spectacular marine ecosystems

• Visit the famous 'Pig Island' (Koh Mudsum) and encounter the island's resident wild boars in their natural habitat

• Enjoy a delicious Thai lunch with panoramic sea views at the beachfront restaurant on Koh Mudsum

• Experience the thrill of high-speed speedboat travel with breathtaking views of the Andaman Sea

Hidden Gems

• The coral reefs around Koh Tan host rare species of tropical fish and sea creatures that are less crowded than popular Samui beach spots

• Koh Mudsum's restaurant offers authentic Southern Thai cuisine rarely found in tourist areas, prepared fresh daily by local cooks

• Early morning departures reveal calm, mirror-like waters perfect for photography and a more intimate island experience away from afternoon crowds

What Makes it Special

• Direct speedboat access from Koh Samui eliminates lengthy travel times, giving you maximum time for snorkeling and island exploration

• The combination of two distinct islands in one tour lets you experience diverse marine environments and unique wildlife without separate bookings

• All-inclusive package with snorkeling gear, guide, meals, and insurance removes the stress of planning multiple elements

Perfect Timing

When to visit for the best experience

Visit between November and February when weather is calm, seas are smooth, and visibility underwater is exceptional. Morning departures (8-9 AM) offer the best snorkeling conditions with calmest waters and fewer tourists. Avoid monsoon season (May-October) when rough seas can lead to tour cancellations.

Photography Guide

Capture the perfect shots

• Capture the vibrant underwater world by bringing an underwater camera or GoPro; the coral and fish colours are most vivid between 9-11 AM when sunlight penetrates the water best

• Shoot wide-angle photos of Koh Mudsum's beaches and wild boars during golden hour at sunset for dramatic lighting

• Don't miss macro photography opportunities of tropical fish during snorkeling sessions by using your phone's macro mode or dedicated underwater macro lens

Cultural Etiquette

Respect local customs and traditions

Respectfully observe the wild boars on Koh Mudsum from a distance; do not feed or attempt to touch them as they are wild animals. When dining at the beachfront restaurant, remove your shoes before entering if indicated and dress modestly to show respect to local customs. Tipping is not mandatory but rounding up or leaving small change is appreciated by local staff.

Special Events & Experiences

Enhanced experiences and seasonal highlights

• Peak tourist season (December-February) brings festive atmospheres with celebration-themed meals at island restaurants and special snorkeling tours

• Summer holidays (June-August) see higher volumes of international visitors, making early morning departures even more essential for a peaceful experience

• Local fishing festivals occasionally align with tour schedules in November, offering opportunities to interact with fishermen and learn about traditional Thai maritime culture

Important Guidelines & Safety

Essential safety information and guidelines

• Always wear the provided life jacket and stay within designated snorkeling areas; currents around Koh Tan can be strong for inexperienced swimmers

• Apply reef-safe sunscreen to protect both your skin and the coral ecosystem; avoid sunscreen with oxybenzone or octinoxate

• Inform your guide immediately if you feel unwell, experience difficulty breathing underwater, or encounter any sea creatures; trained staff can provide first aid
