A must do is Koh Samui - This is a great half day trip, we were fortunate to be the only group to have booked so it was a private excursion for us. Would recommend taking this trip in the morning as it was quite quiet at the snorkelling site, so many fish to see, one of the party stayed on the long tail boat with a small child who fed the fish over the edge & it was amazing there were so many beautiful fish to see & the fish & coral for snorkelling are very good.. Pig Island is great, especially for children, the lunch on Pig Island was very good. All in all this is a great trip & would say it is a “must do” while in Koh Samui.

Amazing experience… - Great & comfortable experience. Price was great, and guide who accompanied us was great as well. Very friendly & helpful. It was also a very private experience since it was just 3 of us, which is always a plus.

Come for the pigs, not the snorkeling - I absolutely loved spending a few hours with the pigs, they are so cute! The lunch was yummy (but be prepared to fight off many flies). I wouldn't have high hopes for the snorkelling- the water was murky and there was high coral that could scratch you, that combo made me feel uncomfortable doing that part. As long as you come for the pigs you'll have a good time though! I still recommend.

Pigs are a must see - Was disappointed with the snorkelling as the water wasn’t clear where we stopped and there was some sharp coral.. not sure if this was a one off as they said they couldn’t stop where they usually do as the sea was too rough that day. Pig island however is well worth a visit just to see the pigs roaming the island and the food supplied whilst there was very tasty. The beaches were beautiful and clear waters so this made up for the snorkelling stop earlier. Be prepared for lots of tourists mind and it was really busy as multiple tours are there at the same time.

Fabulous Experience - Really enjoyable day - so many pigs to see, pet and feed. Stop off for snorkelling was enjoyable but the highlight was being around so many pigs. You need to watch your feet and where you’re walking (only so that you don't bump into them!). Lunch was plentiful but average but that wasn’t why we went. The only downside of the trip was that we had to wade out into the sea to get into the boat and the sea floor was rocky. As a consequence, I cut and bruised my feet and really struggled to get aboard the boat. Fortunately we were able to use the jetty when we arrived back

Well, it didn't convince us - The staff was very friendly and competent. The place where we snorkeled was probably very beautiful at one time, but that is probably over. The coral reef is dead and nothing of its colorful splendor remains. We were able to see some fish and there were jellyfish, but not in large numbers. We then went to Pig Island and had lunch. The food was good for the price and sufficient, including drinking water. The island is like a petting zoo with pigs and dogs, and it smelled accordingly. In the background there was a lot of rubbish and the sanitary facilities were in a bad state. Towels are provided by the organizer and were clean and in good condition.

Experience great, tour operator lying - The trip was 2x more expensive compared to trips which you can get from local people. This tour did not have transfer, the others do. Simply find accomondation or hotel nearby and ask there. There was no towel neither GoPro photo/video included nor provided. Do not book this one! The experience itself was great.

Not worth the money - The good part was that the tour operator managed to organise the transport for me from North part of Koh Samui. The snorkeling was also nice as I got to see lotd of fishes. The tour guide that was with us on the day barely spoke to us and didn't tell us anything about the places where we stoped. The boat ride was also very choppy and all of us got soaked before even going into water. The boat driver should be more careful instead of speeding. The pigs at the island were lovely and the island itself is great. The main issue is the upkeep, my understanding is that each visitor pays a maintenance admission but I don't think the money is being well spend and rather it's going to someone pocket. The tour guide at the end of the tour just left us and told us that our transport is coming. I think that was very unprofessional and she should of waited with us as the driver that come to drive us back was different driver and didn't speak English.

Poorly cared for pigs and fogs - I did this tour yesterday (26th of April) and didn't enjoy it one bit. I don't think these pigs are well cared for at all. One had an enormous tumour which was literally scraping the floor as he walked (see photo), pigs were fighting over the food that tourists paid to give them, the pigs and numerous dogs were desperately thirsty, and I noted as certain workers walked past the pigs they cowered or scarpered. The money paid by tourists is not going towards the welfare of these animals. I couldn't wait to get off the island and wish I could have taken all the animals with me. If you love animals then be prepared to not feel good about what you see.
