Itinerary

  1. Hotel pickup
    08:00–08:30

    A private air-conditioned vehicle collects you from your accommodation — an earlier window than the shared trip, to maximize the chance of a dolphin sighting.

  2. Private speedboat departure
    ~09:00

    Safety briefing, life jackets for everyone, then an exclusive crossing towards the Khanom coastline, roughly 25–30 minutes.

  3. Pancake Rock & dolphin search

    The captain sets the pace around your group's request — no coordinating with another boat — slowing by the layered Pancake Rock sea cliff and cruising the zone where pink dolphins are seen most often.

  4. Koh Tan — snorkeling (~20 min)

    The boat anchors at the reef off Koh Tan. Mask and snorkel are provided.

    ~14:00–15:00
