Half-day speedboat tour from Koh Samui with snorkeling at Koh Tan, pig island at Koh Mudsum, kayaking, and beach Thai lunch.

“Apart from being picked up a little earlier than really necessary (shoved in a bar for 45 minutes before the boat was ready) it was a really great day. The minibus found us fine, the journey down was good, and our guide (young guy) was really great throughout - shout out to him! Waters were a bit murky for snorkelling but we saw a bunch of fish inches away from us and then the pigs were amazing. 7 or 8 little piglets and a bunch of fatties. Food was great too and the drinks on the island aren’t a rip off. A great day :)”
