Around
Samui, including a visit to the pink dolphins off the mainland. Cruise around the island, visiting the Five Islands, home to swifts, known for their famous nests, which are the main ingredient in the Asian delicacy of birds’ nest soup. The islands are inhabited by Sea Gypsies, who live in small wooden homes perch on rocky outcrops, and are employed to guard the nests from poachers. The island of Koh Tan, a few hundred metres off the coast from Thong Krut fishing village, is known for its good snorkelling, where giant clams, coral, and various tropical fish can be found around the reefs. South of Koh Tan is Koh Matsum, which has a long white beach, and is a popular spot for picnics.
Full day charters , from 09:30-18:30
Angthong National Marine Park
The
Angthong National Marine Park is located northwest of Koh Samui, and
covers an area of 102km2, including 42 islands, reaching 10-400m
above sea level. These uninhabited islands are home to abundant bird
life as well as Asian long-tailed monkeys, sea turtles, tortoises,
lizards, pythons, and wild pigs. A plethora of sea life can be found
in crystal waters, and limestone massifs with jagged rock overhangs
lead to hidden lakes. On the Diamond, you will escape the crowds,
find secluded beaches, and cast-away islands. Hike up a wooden path
on Koh Mae for an amazing view of the Emerald Lake. Steep paths with
ropes and steps lead to a viewpoint on the main island of Koh Wua
Talap that offers postcard perfect views across the entire park.
Koh Phangan For a half day charter, a trip to the nearby island of Koh Phangan offers an opportunity to explore scenic bays, have lunch either in the form of a picnic, or at a quaint beachfront restaurant, do a spot of fun fishing, (catch and release), and snorkel off a little island of Koh Ma. A full day trip allows for further exploration of Koh Phangan’s beaches and attractions. The proximity of Koh Phangan to Koh Samui means that transit time is minimal, which may be beneficial for parties with young children.
Half-day romantic sunset trip Depart just after lunch and return at dusk, making the most of the sunset. The trip includes delicious canapés, cocktails, and plenty of bubbly. Cruise into the sunset against an idyllic backdrop, while exploring local waters, and celebrating special occasions.
Optional extras:
Game
fishing - in conjunction with a professional game fisherman.
Scuba
diving trip - in conjunction with a professional divemaster and
scuba gear. Overnight trips - either sleep-aboard or at resorts along the way.
