Three small islands off Samui's south coast: the famous beach pigs of Koh Madsum, and calm, reef-lined snorkelling around Koh Taen and Koh Rap.
Discover the hidden gems of Pig Island, Koh Taen and Koh Rap on an unforgettable day trip from Koh Samui. Whether you choose a speedboat, a motor yacht, a sailing yacht or a luxury longtail boat, a private charter with Samui Explorer Boat Charters matches your style and your pace.
Pig Island (Koh Madsum) is a small sandy islet known for its friendly beach pigs and pristine shore. It’s a delightful first stop for families and photographers, with soft sand, a quick swim and memorable photos of the pigs against a tropical backdrop.
Koh Taen, a peaceful island nearby, offers some of the best snorkelling close to Koh Samui. Its clear water is home to vibrant coral gardens and a lively array of marine life. Our crew know the best shallow reefs and calm coves, and snorkel gear is on board, so even first-timers can explore with confidence. The quiet atmosphere makes Koh Taen perfect for couples and anyone who wants the calmer side of island life.
Koh Rap, a pair of small islets near Koh Taen, completes the trio. The reefs between the two are particularly rich and well protected, a standout for snorkelling and underwater photography. For those who prefer to stay dry, the sandy beaches are made for sunbathing and exploring tidal pools.
A private charter gives you the freedom to set your own pace. Spend extra time at a favourite reef, linger over a beachside lunch, or simply drift while the sunset paints the sea.
