About this experience

Elevate your holiday with a Private Speedboat Tour to Koh Madsum and Koh Tan. Private speedboat allows you to beat the crowds and reach the islands in just 15 minutes. This tour is designed for travelers who value flexibility; with your own boat and captain. Your first stop is typically Koh Tan, where the lack of dogs has allowed a peaceful environment for wildlife and some of the best-preserved coral reefs near Samui. Dive into the crystal-clear water to snorkel among colorful reef fish or explore the island’s interior. A highlight of the trip is visiting Koh Madsum, widely known as "Pig Island." Step onto the powdery white sand to meet the friendly resident pigs that roam freely along the shore. It is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind experience where you can swim, take photos, and even feed these famous islanders.
