Boat trips

Get off the sands and in the sea

What we say:

Walk on any of Ko Samet's beaches and you'll soon see signs advertising a day out on the water. Choose from two main options: a speedboat trip covering more islands, or a more relaxing slow-boat trip.

Both tend to go for most of the day (11:00 until 16:00 or 17:00) and include either a pre-packed lunch or barbecue, snorkelling gear and all the water you can drink. A speedboat trip to Ko Thalu, Kud, Pateen and Kham along with a visit to the fish farms should cost 600B. A slow-boat trip to 11 beaches on Ko Samet costs 350 to 600B, depending on the duration and your beach of origin. Overall the speedboats are better value as you get to see some of the other islands for just an extra 100B. Night-boat trips to go fishing for squid last from 18:00 to midnight and cost around 500B.
