The Half-Day Thai Teak Cruiser Trip: Sun, Sea and Silver Beach

The half-day trip is Endless Summer's signature Koh Samui boat tour: five hours of picture-perfect cruising, snorkeling and beach bliss that still gets you back by mid-afternoon. Vans begin hotel pickups around 08:00 (free, island-wide), and the boat sets sail from Petcharat Marina at 09:00 — with a chilled fresh coconut in your hand as you board.

The morning route runs past the Big Buddha with sweeping coastal panoramas of Koh Faan and the northern shoreline — cameras out as you cruise past. From there, south along dramatic headlands toward Silver Beach.

Silver Beach (also known as Crystal Bay) is the heart of the trip: snorkel vibrant reefs, float on plush double beanbags, or take a short dinghy ride ashore to explore the sand and hidden coves. Kids aged 4–11 can join a fun, supervised snorkeling class run by trained staff — a favourite for families.

Lunch is served on board — a healthy, gourmet spread finished with seasonal fruit, chosen from ten dishes (A to J) when you book: clean fried rice chicken, salmon and egg wraps, grilled veggie pesto pasta, teriyaki beef, sesame-crusted salmon and more. Order by 4pm the day before.

The trip costs ฿2,900 per adult and ฿1,900 per child (4–11), capped at 15 guests, and includes snorkeling gear, soft drinks, travel and medical insurance, and your trip wristband. Back at the marina by 14:00, then hotel drop-offs.
