Where the boats go, and how long each crossing takes

Every real day trip from Koh Samui is by boat. Ang Thong marine park is the big one, Koh Tao is for diving, and the small islands south of Samui are a half day.

Here is the list of 6 Day Trips from Koh Samui

1. Koh Mudsum - 21.2 km From Koh Samui

Koh Mudsum, also known as Koh Matsum, is a small island to the South of Koh Samui. There is only a single restaurant on the island, so don't go expecting energetic beach bars. Instead, be ready for lovely white sand beaches and more great scenery.

5. Koh Taen - 17.7 km From Koh Samui

Koh Taen is a tiny island on the southern tip of Koh Samui. It is quite isolated compared to the other island nearby and is an excellent place for visitors who love nature and want some peace. Long deserted beaches and the lack of too many activities make it the perfect place to lay back and relax.

6. Koh Nang Yuan - Turquoise Waters and Silver Sands

4.0 /5

The island of Koh Nang Yuan is a group of three tiny landforms connected to each other by stretches of blinding white sand. It is located in the Gulf of Thailand towards Northwest of Koh Tao just 15 minutes away. The island is full of greenery and is surrounded by turquoise blue waters. The lush greenery and the coral blue along with white sandbars create a sight like something straight out of a movie or a postcard.

Best Time: December to August

The island itself fills the days between boat trips. Beaches in Koh Samui covers what is on Samui, and night markets in Koh Samui the evenings.

FAQs on Day Trips from Koh Samui

What is the best day trip from Koh Samui?

Ang Thong National Marine Park, a group of forty-odd limestone islands about ninety minutes west. Standard trips include kayaking and the climb to the viewpoint over the inland lake. It runs most of the year but is weather-dependent.

Can I visit Koh Tao in a day?

You can, on the high-speed catamaran, but it is around ninety minutes each way and leaves only a few hours. If you want to dive rather than snorkel, stay overnight instead.

What about the Full Moon Party island?

Koh Pha Ngan is about thirty minutes by boat and is easy as a day trip in its own right, with quiet beaches on the north and west coasts that have nothing to do with the parties on Haad Rin.

Which is the easiest half-day trip?

The small islands just south of Samui, Koh Taen and Koh Mudsum, both under half an hour by longtail. Snorkelling and quiet beaches rather than sights, and you are back for the afternoon.

When do boat trips get cancelled?

Mostly between late October and December, when the Gulf monsoon brings rough seas. Ang Thong closes entirely for part of that period, so check before building a day around it.
