Elevate your holiday with a Private Speedboat Tour to Koh Madsum and Koh Tan. Private speedboat allows you to beat the crowds and reach the islands in just 15 minutes. This tour is designed for travelers who value flexibility; with your own boat and captain. Your first stop is typically Koh Tan, where the lack of dogs has allowed a peaceful environment for wildlife and some of the best-preserved coral reefs near Samui. Dive into the crystal-clear water to snorkel among colorful reef fish or explore the island’s interior. A highlight of the trip is visiting Koh Madsum, widely known as "Pig Island." Step onto the powdery white sand to meet the friendly resident pigs that roam freely along the shore. It is a whimsical, one-of-a-kind experience where you can swim, take photos, and even feed these famous islanders.

When the Ratchaprapha Dam filled in the 1980s, 385 families were moved out of the valley and given land on higher ground to rebuild on. They became the lake's boat drivers, its guides, its resort owners. This afternoon is spent in that village - not observing it, but eating in it, floating through it, and walking into the forest behind it. Lunch comes first: southern Thai dishes laid out on banana leaves at a long table beside the river. Then the water - not the famous lake, but the small green channels behind the houses, poled along on a bamboo raft at the only speed that lets you see any of it. Behind the village is a forest the villagers call Turtle: trees whose size stops the conversation, the herbs the village still collects for medicine and cooking, and a cave that stays cool however hot the day is. A short drive up, and the whole story is in front of you at once: the dam, the village the dam created, and the sun going down over both. Back at the hotel by 18:30. Max 15 guests.
