Description

Get ready for a great combination tour from Koh Samui to see both the pink dolphins in Khanom and pig island, otherwise known as Koh Madsum. This excursion runs every day and is a great way to see both attractions in just one day. The first stop is the coast of Khanom on the mainland, where we have the chance (and it’s a good 99% chance) to see the pink dolphins in their natural habitat. We’ll visit the Pancake rock and make our way across the Khanom coastline for some lovely views of this quiet place. After that we board the speedboat for a short trip to Koh Tan, where you can go snorkeling along the reef. The final stop is Koh Madsum or Pig Island. Enjoy the white sandy beach, go swimming or interact with the living pigs on this island. We then head back to the pier on Koh Samui where we enjoy a delicious Thai-style lunch. Our minivans will then bring you back to your hotel or villa on the island. An amazing way to see both the pink dolphins and pig island on this one-day tour from Koh Samui!

We only spotted 2 dolphins, but I understand that they are free to go anywhere. The tour itself is well organized and food was amazing. A must do on Samui.

I really enjoyed this tour, especially Pig Island. The pigs were adorable, and we had plenty of time to take pictures. The pink dolphins were beautiful, but they were hard to spot. The boat crew were friendly and made sure we had a good time.

LOvely (half?) day trip to see the dolphins and pigs. The tour itself is nice but feels a bit rushed, probably due to the distances covered. We had less time to go snorkeling for example. Despite that I’m giving the full 5 stars because it’s just a nice tour with friendly guides, great food and experiences. Definitely a must do when going to Samui

Frequently Asked Questions

You can expect a delicious Thai-style seafood lunch on the beach in Khanom. There will be several (halal or vegetarian) choices like a rice, vegetables, stir fried, seafood and a dessert. If you have any specific food allergies, please let us know prior to booking this tour.
The dolphins are free to roam anywhere. There is a very, very small chance that we can’t find them. That’s why we can’t guarantee with 100% certainty that you will see them. We cannot make a refund in case the dolphins couldn't be spotted that day.
The best time to visit is between February and August when the seas are relatively calm. The pink dolphins stay where they are year-round, as do the pigs. Are you coming in rainy season? Then it’s still a good time to do the pink dolphin & pig island tour when the seas are calm and the temperatures are lower.
Yes, young children are welcome on this tour. This tour is free for infants between the ages of 0-3. Children of ages between 4-9 years enjoy the kids' price for this excursion.
