Snorkeling at Koh Madsum from Koh Samui: Floating bar includedSnorkeling at Koh Madsum from Koh Samui is a seven-hour day trip that combines reef diving with a floating party: hotel pickup, a custom boat with live DJ and buffet, snorkeling equipment, and a professional guide in English or Thai. The boat anchors at Koh Madsum (also called Pig Island) where you enter the water to snorkel, sunbathe on the beach, or dance on deck between swims. Jet ski, banana boat and donut boat rides cost extra.Is it for me?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.
