Tours Koh Samui sailing cruise to Koh Phangan and surroundings islands

Koh Phangan is the largest of Samui's neighboring islands with an area of 168 square km. The island has numerous heavenly white sand beaches and secluded bays all along its coastline, some of them reachable only by a boat cruise. Over 3/4 of the island is mountainous tropical forest and a large part of it is classified as "national park" by Thailand. This preservation allows the island to keep its natural and untamed character, since the wonderful landscapes cannot be spoiled by excess buildings.

We believe that the best way to discover Koh Phangan’s lush natural scenery, white sandy beaches and secluded bays, is by a sailing cruise aboard a junk boat. The boat we use is a beautiful sail boat built entirely out of teak wood. The boat is a traditional Burmese junk, 25 meters long and 7 meters wide, equipped with modern navigation and communication devices, as well as medical first aid equipment.

The main sun deck is 44m² and provides plenty of room for sunbathing and relaxing, as well as unobstructed views of the Gulf of Thailand. There are four air-conditioned cabins with ensuite bathrooms and hot water. You and your family may use the cabins at any time.

Your journey will begin at the lovely Fisherman’s Village Antique pier in Koh Samui where we will board the boat. A big, freshly cooked breakfast will be served while you enjoy the views of Koh Samui and Koh Phangan sail past and begin to unwind.

After an hour and 15 minutes of peaceful Koh Phangan and Samui sailing, you will arrive at Koh Ma Island. Koh Ma has the best Koh Phangan snorkeling and you will be able to jump in the water and enjoy the amazing soft coral and multicolored fish in the warm (28-30 C degree) water. Our professional guide will assist first-time snorkelers, and will point out the best places to spot marine life. The underwater life is not as abundant as at Koh Tao, but some species, such as the beautiful Lion fish, can be easily spotted when snorkeling at Koh Phangan although it is rare on Koh Tao.

For those who would like to try their luck fishing, we offer a fully equipped boat. On the sailing cruise, you can use our trolling gear and when anchored we have fishing rods available.

After your Koh Phangan snorkeling experience at Koh Ma, the sailing cruise will continue around Koh Phangan and lunch will be served. We offer 4 different types of popular Thai dishes: Massaman chicken curry, green curry with pork, fish in garlic and pepper sauce, and sweet and sour shrimp. There will also be a selection of desserts and fruits.

The boat cruise will anchor at Thong Nai Pan bay on Koh Phangan’s east coast, and you will be transferred to a small boat in order to explore the sandy, scenic double bays of Thong Nai Pan Noi and Thong Nai Pan Yai. These are the most popular beaches in the east side of the island. Both beaches are the image of paradise, with softly curved white sandy bays surrounded by mountains covered in rich tropical rainforest.

After enjoying the double bays, the sailing cruise will continue to the south of Koh Phangan to Than Sadet bay. You will be transferred to the beach in order to visit the waterfall. After a short climb onto some big rocks, you can jump into the fresh water pool at the base of the waterfall and then dry off on the huge granite rocks. The river and waterfalls were once visited by Their Majesties King Rama V, VII and IX who carved their initials on the huge granite rocks that grace this river. This has become one of the most tranquil and popular places on the island to visit and relax.

Afterwards, we will leave Koh Phangan and head back to Koh Samui. On the way back, you can enjoy a refreshing hot shower and then have tea on the deck. High Tea includes a wide selection of tea, pastries and fresh fruit as well as great views of Koh Phangan’s Haad Rinn beach, famous for its full moon party that takes place each full moon.
