We're a group of 8 friends travelling on Celebrity Solstice and booked a half day private tour on the beautiful Blue Dragon. We spent the morning snorkeling and then were taken to a beautiful secluded bay, all to ourselves - heaven!! It was an exceptional tour, the whole team were amazing. This trip was voted by the group as our favourite chilled out day of the entire holiday, thank you!

Wonderful half-day private tour
The trip was wonderful start to finish. The crew gave an overview of the day and were able to tailor it to what we wanted to do, the snorkeling was amazing with the guide making sure we saw as much as we could, and the lunch was delicious. All in all an experience I'd recommend, great value for a whole boat for just your party.

Outstanding
Highly recommend this tour. Two and the crew made sure our day was incredible. Lunch was delicious. Two snorkelled with us to make sure we didn’t miss anything and also helped those of us not so confident in the ocean. This made the experience all the more enjoyable.

Outstanding day
Highly recommend this great tour. The crew were all amazing. We felt like kings and queens. Our boat guide Two bent over backwards to make sure our experience was incredible.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island cost?
+
Prices start at $966 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Koh Samui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Koh Samui is not rushed.
Is Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 54 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island?
+
No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.
Is Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Koh Samui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Koh Samui and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Private Half-Day Blue Dragon Yacht for Snorkeling Koh Tan & Visit Pig Island start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Koh Samui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Koh Samui?
+
On Outty we rank every Koh Samui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angthong National Marine Park VIP Small Group Tour, Cooking Class in Koh Samui with Micro Organic Garden, Half Day Elephant Home Sanctuary in Samui. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Koh Samui?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Koh Samui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
