Dolphin tour

Overview

Cruise across the gulf to the scenic coast of Khanom on a 5-hour private dolphin-watching expedition. The waters along Khanom's rugged limestone cliffs are renowned as the natural habitat of rare Indo-Pacific humpback dolphins, often referred to as pink dolphins. Sightings depend on natural marine conditions and cannot be guaranteed, but the dramatic coastal scenery provides a remarkable backdrop.

Following the dolphin search, the catamaran sails to Koh Tan for an afternoon of reef snorkeling in clear, shallow waters. Guests can also enjoy bottom fishing, paddleboarding, and kayaking around the island. Lunch is optional and can be arranged in advance, served either on board or as a private beach barbecue on Koh Tan.

Night fishing

Overview

Head out into the calm evening waters off southern Koh Samui for a 5-hour private night fishing trip under the stars. Because the waters surrounding Koh Samui sit on a shallow continental shelf, angling here focuses on recreational bottom fishing and squid jigging rather than deep-sea big game, making it an engaging and accessible experience for all skill levels.

The vessel departs at 19:00 and anchors at proven night fishing grounds selected by the captain based on tidal and weather conditions. With live bait and fishing tackle provided, you will spend at least two hours angling in the cool night breeze. Whenever the catch allows, the crew will prepare fresh sashimi directly on board for you to taste.

Fresh fruit, snacks, soft drinks, and round-trip VIP hotel transfers are included throughout the trip.
