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 ship leaves around 9:00 a.m. and arrives after a short crossing from Koh Samui, the nearby neighboring island. Welcome to the beautiful island of Koh Mudsum.
Pig Island
Here the world stands still because there is still no civilization, running water, or electricity. Amazingly, there are a few woolly pigs here on the white sand beach, like in the Bahamas. Enough time, enjoy some quality time, swim or relax on the beach.
Snorkeling
We will anchor in the front of the neighboring island Koh Tan. Because of the still intact coral reef, the underwater world is special here. You will get the snorkeling equipment free of charge to explore the diverse species of sea creatures on calm seas with a clear view (under normal weather conditions).
Lunch
In the meantime, during our stay at Koh Tan, a delicious traditional lunch is freshly prepared for all participants at a small restaurant, directly on the white sandy beach, with an unforgettable view of the Gulf of Thailand. There is guaranteed to be something for every taste, and you don't have to worry that it might be too spicy.
Return to Samui
Around 1:30 p.m. as soon as all participants are back and fully on board, we ship back to Koh Samui. The crossing back to Samui is beautiful, as the different island scenery will leave an unforgettable impression. Turtles and other sea creatures have often been spotted here. After a crossing of about 25 minutes, we are safely back at the pier where we started.
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!

Our party was picked up on time and delivered to the pier to beginning our private tour. The long boat was beautiful (plenty of shade on a hot day) and equipped with a very thoughtful captain that made sure we were hydrated with drinks and a sliced fruit. A highlight was swimming in the ocean off the shore with soft sand beneath our feet prior to a fantastic lunch on Koh Tan.

What an excellent trip, pick up was prompt and efficient. We took the VIP pig island tour which was in a group of 7. Pig island was a beautiful way to spend a morning. Kids and adults enjoyed the interactions with the friendly animals. Snorkelling was ok, sadly like many areas around Thailand the coral is in retreat. We could’ve skipped this part. Lunch on Koh Tan …

Es war ein traumhaft schöner VIP Ausflug, wir wurden überpünktlich vom Hotel abgeholt und nachdem wir noch 6 andere Personen eingesammelt haben fuhren wir zu 8 zum Anleger wo es nach kurzer Einweisung per Boot zur Schweineinsel ging. Dort hatten wir 2 Stunden Aufenthalt, anschliessend hing es zur unbewohnten Nachbarinsel. Auf dem Weg dahin Zwischenstop ,um vom Boot aus zu …

Fabulous morning out. (Family of 6 adults/older teens). Company had slight issue with a mechanical on a van. We were kept informed and it was resolved very quickly. Rest of service was amazing. Pig Island well worth visiting for an hour or so. 1st Highlight- snorkeling. Perfect spot. (Stick to the deeper water as the coral rises for a rainbow of fish). 2nd Highlight. …

Der Ausflug war super organisiert und entspannt da wir nur 7 Teilnehmer waren. Von der Abholung über Versorgung, Kommunikation und Rücktransport kann man nichts negatives sagen. Leider war die einsame Insel voller Plastik-Müll. Das war erschreckend 😨 Ansonsten danke für den tollen ausführlichen und Eindrücke die wir sammeln durften.
