Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing On The Beach

The overall tour felt rushed as if they wanted to get people in and out. There wasnt much time for snorkelling either just one quick session and off to pig island. The tickets promised kayaks but there was no mention or sight of a kayak anywhere when we got to pig island. The lunch in pig island was okay but for the price of the tour, it was mediocre. Also, tickets included Thong Krut but it never happened. Overall disappointing experience.

The staff were very nice and helped getting me on and off the boat. They were really friendly too. Snorkelling was excellent, saw lots of amazing fish and sea vegetation. Lunch was yummy, I had the vegetarian option. Kayaking fun. Pigs soooo cute and friendly dogs.

It's fantastic it's a must see & do value for money great boat staff lunch was fantastic pigs are so much fun to watch

Excellent experience starting off with snorkelling which was good fun (definitely recommend wearing the life jacket to help keep you floating on the surface as the area is shallow and you can easily cut yourself on the rocks). Then we visited pig island which was so lovely. There were also around 10 friendly dogs there too. Lunch was nice and there was plenty for everyone (including leftovers for the pigs). Pickup and drop off was very straightforward too.

Absolutely a joy! I recommend saving this trip for your last day. It’s so relaxing. First stop was swimming in the ocean. Second stop is PIG Island & it does not disappoint! There were baby pigs everywhere & adorable!

Superb day from start to finish. The boat staff were fantastic, explained everything and safety on the boat and whilst snorkeling were exemplary. They have their own area to leave your belongings on the island whilst enjoying the islands inhabitants, kayaking etc. Lunch, traditional Thai food (very tasty) was provided and plenty of it, with plenty of bottled water. If you need a day of something different to see, take this trip.

Goodie and crew are the absolute bombs! They made sure that we had the best trip ever. We had so much fun visiting all of the islands and learning about them. And of course, Sexy Goodie and his team were absolutely fantastic and taking care of each and every single guest! We would recommend this tour as a must and would do it again when we are back. And we will ask for Goodie again!

Great tour for cruisers, pick up and drop off where on time, great snorkeling location, and beautifull beach location! Definitely recomend!.

The transport picked me up at the hotel and then picked up other passengers along the way to a bar/restaurant on the beach while we waited there at least an hour for multiple other vans of people to show up. Once we finally did leave, we were taken to by boat to a place where we could snorkel. Couldn’t see much, the water was cloudy and murky. When we left there, we went to pig island. There were several pigs but they all looked the same which was a little boring. There were some baby ones that were cute. They served food, which I thought was going to be Thai but it was just chicken poppers and French fries. Served with just water. There are certainly opportunities to buy other food and drinks while you were on this excursion. I became bored of it all and thought the length of time at pig island was too long. The transport back was awful. The driver refused to drop me off at the pickup point and left me in the dark to cross a busy road. He couldn’t even drop me off in a safe place. He parked on a corner that I couldn’t see and I had to cross it, almost got hit by a car, and then walk a far distance back. I’m a solo female traveler and expected to be dropped off where I was picked up as is described. Not a good trip. I don’t recommend. Save your money and half your day on something more worthwhile.

If you get the time you have to stop over to this island and pat the pigs. They are so funny to feed.

A good day out the tour organisers were very helpful and looked after us well. Toilets on the island were not the best. Nice swimming area. Pigs roam around and are friendly and even put on a sex education show for us !!!!

This was a fun day trip to do. The pigs were great to see. The crew on our boat were fantastic and very helpful. Would recommend particularly for families. The only downsize was that it took an hour of driving to get from hotel to boat departure pint at Diamond Beach.

Pickup and drop-off were seamless, it's rainy season so the water where we snorkled was pretty murky but the tour operator has forewarned me that this may be the case (and you can't control the ocean!), pig island was reasonably priced for any extras that you wanted to purchase and the provided buffet was pretty good. The pigs seemed happy to be getting pets and food from the tourists and overall it was an enjoyable experience. Our tour guide was funny and informative. It is very busy this time of year so don't expect the beach to yourself.

Unique experience. The pigs were cute and it was fun to see them walk around freely. The beach area had beautiful views but was not well maintained. Feces and garbage everywhere. Our tour guide did not give any history or education in regards to this island and the pigs. The food was terrible except the fruit. Snorkeling wasn't fun due to recent rain. I would recommend going to pig island just don't wasn't your money on this tour.

Towards the end of rainy season weather was overcast and windy. Water conditions not ideal for snorkeling so they took us to a different spot that had nothing to see and we were not offered kayak option. Food was just ok. Pig island is v pretty and I think the tour operator, guide, etc did their best to show everyone a nice time. Pick a good weather day if u can but worth going either way.

The staff with this trip were wonderful. However, the group size was close to 100 and required 2 boats. Only a few people could fit up front where you could see things, and those people were not willing to allow others to rotate up during any of the trips. Many of the people in our group were rude and disrespectful to the staff and other people on the boat. The island was very crowded so there were few opportunities with the pigs. This tour is great for those who do not regularly “adventure” but for those of us who enjoy solitude and spend plenty of time in nature on our own might want a smaller group activity or to try something on our own. Kudos to the staff for doing such a great job with a difficult and … materialistic group of guests 😁

Very well organised trip from pick up to drop off. Arrived at a cool reggae bar for some refreshments before getting on the speed boat. Speed boat staff were all helpful and friendly and gave us clear instructions in good English on how the day will unfold. Lovely, welcomed swimming/snorkelling spot (don’t forget a towel, would also advise wet shoes). Pig island is an experience. Imagine a petting zoo/farm on an island. Pigs and dogs are friendly, cute piglets. Bar for drinks and food to buy for animals. The island is quite littered. Toilets are a bit grim. Food was nice. Veggie and meat option. Plenty of water given. Did some kayaking. 3 hours was plenty enough time to spend there. Couldn’t fault the staff, they worked really hard.

Pro’s + tour organisator was very fast in answering questions by whatsapp. + flexible in changing scheduled time of the tour, due to bad weather that was coming up. + Tour-guide on location was very helpful, funny and chatty. One of us got sea sick, but he helped us get trough with advice and medication + Reggae Bar area with some nice music and food where we got dropped of with the taxi to hop on the boat. Con’s - it was pretty overbooked (maybe due to bad weather that was coming up) - Snorkeling wasnt really remarkeble - Pig Island, was very crowded - The photo’s with the pigs were not similair experience as on location.

Short and sharp speedboat ride to our snorkeling stop. The water was quite clear and visibility could see fish and coral close by. Our second stop at Pig Island was interesting. A beautiful sight to see from the water and once on the island, plenty of time to relax, hike if you wanted to or kayak as well. The water looked quite promising and clear but was filled with a lot of debris. Would just dip your feet but not go swimming. The pigs were definitely a unique thing to see, can feed them if you like. Just have to pay for food. The lunch buffet was great and filling however not the greatest environment with lots of stray dogs, flys and of course pigs roaming around.

The tour guides did their best to make this a good experience, however, it rained so we didn't get to snorkel until later in the day and since it was raining done of my family wanted to going swimming at the beach. Felt my money could have been better spent doing something else.

This was a perfect day trip! Friendly service, a nice snorkel trip (though it was cloudy and didn’t see too many fish) and a really enjoyable time on pig island! Highly recommend!

We booked the 8:30am trip for our last day in Koh Samui and it did not disappoint! We were picked up from the hotel, taken to the boat pick up point, and advised what boat we will be getting on at what time. Everything was clearly explained from the very beginning. The pigs seemed very well looked after and content on the island. Some of the pigs had piglets and they were adorable!! There are also lots of stray dogs which are so friendly and also well looked after. The food provided for lunch was lovely. Arlix and the other crew members were so nice and informative. Overall a lovely final day in Koh Samui! Very glad we booked this trip :)

Overall the experience was nice. The coral ”reef” was bit underwhelming. Koh Mad Sum was ok. The boat crew was super friendly and professinal. Big thanks to the crew!

If you are looking for a peaceful day on an island…this is the trip for you. It was a little slower than what I was expecting. We did snorkeling at one island and then spent the rest of the time with the pigs who were sleeping for the majority of our time. The meal was very nice.

Very good trip lovely island well worth the money pigs was lovely came and sat under your feet at your table

Chance to swim, snorkel or kayak at 2 places; pigs to feed, pet and watch; small hike to top of island. Great staff!!!

Great experience, boat staff very helpful. Family all really enjoyed it and the pigs were very gentle even when being fed by a one year old. Please note that there are only two stops on this trip. The last stop to the authentic fisherman’s village does not happen.

Great trip. Exactly as described. Tour guide was lovely. They provide plenty of bottled water and food.

Good experience but definitely not worth the £40pp. Constant chasing from ‘Mr.Tony’ via WhatsApp to be ready for 08:30 to be picked up, only to arrive at the pier and wait 45 minutes before leaving. The snorkelling was OK, not the best area for snorkelling but managed to see some fish and the coral. Kayaking was help yourself to a kayak but then not enough oars to go around everyone, so only 4 or 5 kayaks could be out in the water at one time. Lunch was very poor and couldn’t wait to get back to the hotel for food, select the vegetarian option when asked on the boat as you get spring rolls and fries, better than the meat selection which was all cold. Seeing the pigs definitely made the trip worthwhile!

The beaches were incredible and as always with Thai people, extremely friendly and accommodating. A good length of trip by using the morning slot to not take up all of your day

Well organized trip. Short speedboat ride to a not so great snorkeling area, the over to Koh Madsum to see the pigs and relax on the beach. Nice beach and swimming area but the pigs (and dogs) are over breeding and survive purely on food and water provided by the tourism trade. Only one complaint was our designated van driver refused to drive up the short (but steep) hill to our villa so we hade to walk down and up the steep hill with young children. I’m not sure what the problem was as every other vehicle goes up and down without a problem. Overall it was a nice trip with mostly polite and friendly people.

Well organised tour, great transfer to boat which was very new looking and clean. Water provided and a nice calm trip to the island with ample time to snorkel. Pig island was fun great to see these animals in such a lovely relaxed atmosphere. Enjoyed feeding and watering them. Food was great too. Overall a lovely day out would recommend !

Really well organised tour. Got picked up from the hotel with ease and taken to the port. Water provided throughout and plenty of time at each stop!

Loved this tour! We had a bus pick us up from the hotel, which was simple to organise on Viator. The tour guide explained our day and was super organised and friendly. Only thing I would suggest, if you don’t like spicy food or are a fussy eater like me, I would suggest selecting the vegetarian option for lunch which was 2x spring rolls, chips & fried rice. We didn’t do this, and regretted it! Remember to bring sun screen and a hat if possible.

Due to the weather the location for snorkelling was changed, although this was disappointing it was clear that the boat crew had safety of the passengers at the forefront. We were still able to snorkel at another location, however less fish! The boat crew (boat 4) were brilliant, the island itself was excellent, superb value for money. The organiser (Mr Tony) kept us well informed of the trip details via sms, would definitely recommend his company

While many of the reviews we read said that they were not too impressed by the snorkeling, we really enjoyed it. Sure, the fish aren't as pretty as Hawaii but there were a lot and it was fun jumping off of the boat. We had fun with the pigs. There were so many little babies. The food was good and plentiful. We also enjoyed kayaking. There were many available and the guides were happy to take pictures for us. Despite what I read in some reviews, I saw the pigs being fed and cared for by staff who knew them by name. To me they seemed well taken care of.

The concept of the rescue pigs is good and is what attracted us to this tour. We liked to see them roam free and to play with them. However, the area where lunch is cooked and served is not cordoned off so the pigs were moving around the tables peeing and pooing while food was being served which put me off completely. The toilet facilities were very lacking and there was no running water to wash our hands. We couldn’t see any bins and there was rubbish laying around. I couldn’t wait to leave and the only reason I’m giving this 2 stars is because of the rescuing of the pigs, otherwise it would be 1 as 0 isn’t an option.

Never again! Больше никогда! Island is full of pigs sh..t and wild people, who feed them without control just to get a photo or video. Actually all that pigs and puppies are on purpose brought from Samui just to attract people . I bought your to see wild dolphins and this pigs were included, regret all money and time spent for supporting animal abuse. Остров весь в г…не свиней и собак и людей, которые бесконтрольно кормят их. Свиней и щенят привозят специально для туристов с острова Самуй. Купила тур посмотреть на дельфинов в дикой природе, попутно привезли и на этот ужасный остров. Жалею о деньгах и времени потраченном на издевательства над животными

On time, professional and friendly, delivered us back as promised in good time to board our cruise ship before it sailed...

Amazing trip, would highly recommend! Staff were very friendly, plenty of time for relaxing/ snorkelling and kayaking:)

Brilliant day out, great fun and really enjoyable 😊 Would recommend this trip to others, the whole day ran really smoothly and all staff were brilliant

Wouldn't bother. Island is gross, rubbish everywhere. Lots of pigs (and piglets). Staff very unfriendly and not helpful. Boats overloaded and too crowded.

I wish I could've found the view point but my wife enjoyed herself that was most important all the staff are extremely friendly and very nice the lunch was phenomenal will definitely do again

Unfortunately the weather wasn’t too great since I came during rainy season but the guides made the trip work as much as they could! The main thing for me was that they made sure that safety was always in their mind! The booking agent was really nice and flexible! I was unable to go for my tour the day I had booked it but he was really nice and flexible and changed it to a different date for me.

Not the greatest of tourist attractions Snorkeling was terrible, saw no fish as choppy ! Lunch was awful and pig island was awful, just pigs running around snorting and fighting while your having a meal - dirty, smelly and over rated

This was so much fine the speed boat was a fun ride and the snorkeling was also cool you could see the fish from the boat, the pigs were also really fun they were docile and there are dogs and chickens roaming around as well. They provide lunch and it was 10/10 the drinks from the bar were also really good really fun time

Good amount of time snorkelling before heading to the pig island, the pigs were very friendly and comfortable with people, they were well fed and watered. View was spectacular and there was an option to kayak if you wanted. Lunch was great, plenty of food and they handed out bottles of water throughout the day. There was a bar which also served fresh fruit juices and cocktails you could buy and lots of seating and sun loungers to enjoy your time on the island. Would go again.

Was a great day, though the "port" area that you leave from is a bit odd and looks more like someone's backyard with a beach to launch from. First snorkelling spot is cool but not very clear, and coral is very high up so makes it very hard to swim over. The Island itself is very pretty and chill. Mix of pigs and dogs roaming round.

In terms of value for money this was a good day out. We chose the small group version and was 9 of us. The long-tail boat to pig island was interesting. Needless to say its very bumpy and you literally get soaked so yes take a change of clothes in a plastic bag. Pig island was as advertised. We got there before too many other boats and it was ok. Lots of pigs of all sizes that you can feed and have pictures with. Snorkeling was good, so many lovely small fish but we noticed that people were standing on the coral which is sad as that will destroy it. Kayaking and lunch was lovely. All in all basically as advertised. A good value family day out.
