The bow rises and falls; spray cools your face while the mainland recedes and three small islands draw near. Koh Tan’s reefs glint beneath clear water, Koh Rap shows a quiet sweep of white sand, and Pig Island’s boisterous shoreline—complete with sunbathing pigs—waits like a local character in a coastal play.
The islands sit in the shallow Gulf of Thailand where Pleistocene reef and modern coral growth meet weathered limestone outcrops. Koh Samui’s coastline grew from coral and sand, and the archipelago has long supported small fishing communities and seasonal coconut harvests. Today, these islets are measured not by development but by water quality and reef health—their value lies in snorkeling visibility and intact beaches.
Expect a private 6-hour outing leaving Thong Krut Pier, with stops for snorkeling at Koh Tan, relaxed beach time on Koh Rap, a beachside Thai set lunch, and a visit to Koh Mudsum (Pig Island). The operator supplies snorkel gear and cold drinks; wear a reef-safe sunscreen, a swim top for sun and snorkel comfort, and shoes that grip when stepping from boat to sand.
Practical notes: check tide and wind forecasts—sea conditions shape your day more than distance. Morning departures offer calmer water and better visibility for the coral gardens; afternoons can bring chop. Bring motion-sickness remedies if you’re prone, a dry bag for phone and wallet, and local currency for tips or snacks. With basic seaside precautions this private speedboat loop is an approachable half-day escape into Koh Samui’s quieter shores.
No—basic swimming ability is sufficient; guides will point out shallow reef areas and provide flotation if needed.

Yes, the pigs are accustomed to visitors; treat them respectfully and avoid feeding anything not provided by locals to protect their health.
