Featured Experience


One of the most special moments of the day comes when you arrive at Koh Mad Sum and start seeing piglets, piglets and large pigs roaming freely around this incredible paradise. At the island's small bar, you can buy their favourite food and feed them, play with them and even bathe with them.

WARNING! You can't take a piglet home, believe me, we've tried.

"Remember, don't take souvenirs such as corals, shells or piglets."


Our itineraries are only suggestions. Remember that, as this is a private tour, you have complete flexibility. The captain can adjust the time spent on each island according to your preferences and the conditions of the day (weather, tides) to ensure you have the best experience possible.

Responsible Snorkelling

Let’s Protect the Marine Treasure of the Gulf of Thailand

We invite you to enjoy its reefs and marine life with respect. This ecosystem is fragile and depends on all of us to preserve it.

Avoid touching or standing on corals, as they are living organisms that are highly sensitive. Observe the fish without chasing them or disturbing their natural behaviour.

Do not collect shells or natural elements, as they are part of the ecosystem’s balance.

Whenever possible, use biodegradable sunscreen to help protect the reefs.

Small actions can make a big difference. Taking care of this environment is the best way to continue enjoying it today and in the future.
