Afternoon pickup from your hotel or villa and transfer to the departure pier on the north coast of Koh Samui. Welcome on board, safety introduction and time to explore the shaded deck area and open bow as the boat leaves the bay. Enjoy a slow cruise along Samui's coastline, typically passing Koh Som and beaches around Choeng Mon and nearby bays, with plenty of time for photos. Buffet dinner is served on deck while the sky turns orange, purple and red; enjoy your complimentary cocktail and choose extra drinks from the bar if you wish. As the sun sets, the boat turns back towards the northeast coast, giving you a last chance for twilight photos before returning to the pier. Transfer back to your accommodation in the early evening.
