A two-story boat with a fully stocked bar takes you to an island where pigs wade in the shallows.

Jet ski, banana boat and donut boat rides cost extra.

The Experience
Hotel pickup starts the day, followed by a drive to the pier where you board a two-story boat stocked with a full bar, live DJ, and buffet lunch. The boat cruises to Koh Madsum, a small island in the Gulf of Thailand known for its resident pigs that wade into the shallows to greet visitors. The snorkeling happens in the clear water around the island; your guide speaks English or Thai and all equipment is provided.
The seven-hour window splits between the water and the deck. You can snorkel for as long as you want, sunbathe on the sandy beach, or stay aboard sipping cocktails and dancing to the live DJ. The buffet lunch is served on the boat, and the crew accommodates dietary requirements and allergies. A safe box is available for valuables. If you want more speed, jet ski, banana boat and donut boat rides are bookable on the day for an extra charge.
The boat returns to the pier in late afternoon, and hotel drop-off completes the trip. Children aged 3 to 10 have their own ticket price; under 3 years old enter free but must sit on an adult's lap. Accident insurance is included. This activity is not suitable for guests arriving by cruise ship, and it is not recommended for travelers with spinal injuries, pregnancy, or serious cardiovascular conditions.

Is this one for you?Seven hours is long enough to snorkel, eat, and relax on the beach without rushing, but short enough to leave your evening free. If you want to add jet ski or banana boat rides, book them on arrival — the boat stays anchored long enough for extras.
