About this tour
Trade the sluggish ferry queue for a speedboat crossing from Koh Samui to Koh Phangan, arriving at Haad Rin Beach with hours to spare before the Full Moon Party kicks off. Your hotel pickup gets you to the pier hassle-free, then you'll cut across the Gulf on a modern speedboat, landing you poolside to the island's most notorious monthly gathering. International DJs, fire spinners, and luminescent revellers fill the night under the lunar glow. The return journey is equally swift, getting you back to Samui by dawn. Three to seven hours total, depending on timing.

What to expect
You'll be picked up from your Samui hotel in the morning or late afternoon, depending on party start time. The speedboat crossing takes roughly 45 minutes to an hour—expect a choppy ride if the Gulf's rough, so take seasickness precautions if prone. Haad Rin Beach will be heaving with thousands of international travellers and locals, music blaring from multiple sound systems. The vibe swings from celebratory to hedonistic as the night deepens. After the party winds down (usually 4–5 a.m.), you'll board the return speedboat, arriving back in Samui by sunrise, tired but buzzing.
