Spend a full day aboard a private catamaran exploring Koh Samui’s southern islands—snorkel coral gardens, relax on white sand beaches and watch for nesting swiftlets before a sunset cruise home. This practical full-day charter covers snorkeling gear, water and light refreshments.

The catamaran eases away from Koh Samui as morning light thins over the Gulf of Thailand, and the wind pulls you toward a scatter of rocky islets stacked like pages in a sea-worn book.

The islands have a long history of nest‑gathering for the Asian bird’s‑nest trade; collectors traditionally used bamboo ladders on cliff faces to harvest swiftlet nests.
Conservation

Use reef‑safe sunscreen
Apply reef‑safe SPF at least 20 minutes before entering the water and reapply after swimming to protect coral.
Bring a waterproof bag for valuables
Stash phones, keys and extra cash in a dry bag; the deck and swim ladder are often wet.
Plan for motion sensitivity
Full‑day open water can be choppy—take seasickness medicine ahead of time if you’re prone to motion sickness.
Respect nesting birds and shorelines
Avoid loud noise near cliff nesting areas and don’t remove shells or coral from beaches to protect habitats.
Reef‑safe sunscreen
Protects your skin and the coral ecosystems during prolonged sun exposure.
