Koh Samui day trip by speedboat to see pink dolphins, snorkel at Koh Taen, and relax on Pig Island, with Thai beach lunch included.

4.Raya Island, Maithon Island, & Dolphin Spotting Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 8 reviews · 8 hours · from $94

Phuket speedboat trip to Raya Noi and Raya Yai for Pirates Beach views, reef snorkeling, and Maithon dolphin spotting.

“Overall the day trip was great, and we enjoyed the snorkelling a lot. However (and that is not the fault of the provider!!!) the sea was very very choppy, so we had to change the plans (thankfully 🙏). A lot of the guests became sea sick. The personnel took very gentle care of everyone being sick! 🥰”
