Koh Samui Pink Dolphin tour Khanom
4.8
Pink dolphins aren't guaranteed anywhere — but the waters off Khanom are one of the few spots in the Gulf of Thailand where sightings are reasonably common, and this half-day speedboat run is built around exactly that stretch of coast. Route takes you past the Pancake Stone rock formation en route to the dolphin grounds, with a Thai seafood lunch included afterward. ฿1,850 per person.
Get ready for a unique wildlife encounter on our Pink Dolphin & Pig Island Speedboat Tour! This half-day trip takes you straight to the coast of Khanom, one of the few places in the world where you can spot the legendary Pink Dolphins. Along the way, we’ll cruise past the famous "Pancake Rocks"—fascinating limestone layers that look like something out of a movie.

The tour day
Morning Pick-up
Jump into our comfy AC-minibus around 8:00 a.m! We’ll swing by your hotel and head over to the pier in Thong Krut (South Samui). We’ll pick up some other fellow explorers along the way, so it’s a great time to get into the island mood.
Setting Sail
The tour to the pink dolphins starts 9:15 or 9:45 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 Dolphins
During the wonderful crossing to the small neighboring islands, that takes around 25-minutes, 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.
Snorkeling
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.
Pig Island
The afternoon is all yours! Feeling active? Hike up to the island’s legendary viewpoint or explore a hidden stalactite cave. Rather relax? Grab your snorkel or just be a beach bum on the soft white sand. You’ve got a solid 90 minutes of "me-time" here.
Return to Samui
We will return to Samui by speedboat 1:20 or 1:40 p.m. After all, participants are aboard again, you will be put on the safety life jackets, and we will drive past beautiful, rugged rock formations with a direct course to Koh Samui. The crossing takes about 20-minutes and leads past small island groups.
We bring you back
We’ll grab you from the arrival pier in a nice, cool AC minibus and get you right back to your place. We'll be dropping everyone off one by one along the way, so just sit back and enjoy the ride!

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 …
