Early to mid afternoon collection from your accommodation (roughly 13:00–14:30), then transfer down to the departure pier in the south of the island. Depart the pier and cruise towards Koh Tan, enjoying coastal views and a relaxed briefing from the crew. Anchor near the reef at Koh Tan, gear up and explore the underwater world with tropical fish and coral gardens. Continue to Koh Madsum (Pig Island) for free time to meet the pigs, swim, kayak and take photos on the white-sand beach. As the day cools off, sit down to a simple Thai dinner and watch the sky shift through orange and pink while cruising or from the beach. Head back to Samui around sunset, then transfer by minibus back to your hotel, usually arriving in the early evening. The sequence can be adjusted slightly by sea conditions, but the focus remains on an easygoing afternoon, a colorful sunset and plenty of photo opportunities.
