The tour day
Morning Pick-up
The local operator will pick you up at the port and then guide you to the the harbor in Thong Krut (South Samui). The driver is waiting for you to arrive, between 8:30 & 8:45 a.m., at the arrival port of Nathon! (Meeting point!) Due to program logistics, you must be at the meeting point on time!
Setting sail
The tour to the pink dolphins starts around 9:15 a.m. As soon as you are on the speedboat, you will be greeted warmly by the crew with a smile. Now they will help you to put on the safety vests and then the lines will be released. The captain heads with a direct course to Khanom.
Pink Dolpins
During the wonderful crossing to the small neighboring islands, you get the opportunity to photograph the unique and famous "Pancake stone". Here you can already see the pink dolphins appearing on the water surface and take a souvenir photo if you like. As usual, the interesting and rare mammals always swim in a small group.
Lunch / Snorkeling
Afterward, we enjoy a delicious traditional seafood lunch together with a stunning view of the Gulf of Thailand. After everyone is saturated and satisfied, we will drive with a direct course to the neighboring island of Koh Tan, about 20 minutes away, to go snorkeling. Here you have the opportunity to explore exotic fish and a fantastic underwater world.
Koh Mudsum
The last stop of our day trip is on the hidden and deserted island of Koh Mudsum. There are woolly pigs like those in the Bahamas that are on the beach. The clean white sandy beach and the wonderful backdrop are unique on the island. You have enough time to go swimming or just relax on the beach.
We bring you back
Around 3:00 p.m. we will bring you back to the port of Nathon where you will arrive around 4:00 p.m. Since this is an excursion by our partner, our usual back-to-ship guarantee is void. Of course, our partner always has top priority to bring you back to your ship on time! Don't worry!!

Leider haben wir keine rosa Delfine sehen können, aber so ist es nun mal. Dafür waren die kleinen Schweinchen auf Pig Island ein tolles Erlebnis. Ich kann die Tour sehr empfehlen , es ist natürlich alles auch ein wenig wetterabhängig. Das hat sich beim schnorcheln etwas bemerkbar gemacht wegen der Sicht, aber trotz allem ein schönes Erlebnis. Vielen Dank an T.K Tours

The Tour was really very good organized We were lucky to spot a pink dolphin family. They stayed with us for half an hour. Nice hour spent at the pig island…crowded but well organised. Sailing back we stopped for one hour snorkeling…unfortunately the visibility was not very good but we spotted 5 blue spotted sting rays. Once back at the jetty the staff greeted us …

An unforgettable experience! Although we didn't get to see any dolphins, the tour was amazing. The staff were friendly, professional, and made the whole day enjoyable. My 6-year-old daughter had an incredible time and even got to swim at the reef, which was a highlight for her. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I'm already thinking about booking my second tour …

Obwohl mir die Reiseleitung in unserem Hotel sagte dass es sehr unwahrscheinlich ist die rosa Delfine zu sehen, haben wir diesen Ausflug gebucht. Und es hat such gelohnt. Die Besatzung des Speedbootes hat sich viel Mühe gegeben und am 3. Ort haben wir sie dann sehen und sogar Filmen können. Ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Danach ging es zum Schnorcheln, wo wir viele Fische …
