A good way to spend a few hours - We were picked from the hotel at the stated time. We waited a bit at the bar on the beach with good drinks and food. The boat ride was very quick. We enjoyed snorkeling and seeing lots of 🐠🐟. We the continued to pig island where we met the funny pigs and had a good dinner. The return was also comfortable and quick

Fun Tour - Fun Tour. 9-12:30 boat trip to spot pink dolphins unfortunately none. Then went snorkelling, make sure u wear life jacket as it’s for 1hr and no rest. Once the boat picked us up from snorkelling then to pig island 🏝️ 🐷

Cute pigs - The trip was ok. The time at the reef could have been a bit longer. Because over 3 hours at the pig island, was a bit much. But it was fun to feed and pet the pigs and it looked like they were all doing well.

Unique location among animals. - The boat ride was about 15 min from Koh Samui. Snorkelling in warm water was refreshing. Then a shorter boat ride to Pig Island: A unique experience & setting, with pigs, dogs and chickens freely roaming among us on the island. The lunch was nice and there was unlimited water supply. It was also good to do the short hike after lunch; not too steep. Bring a hat. Be prepared for a shallow wade, below knee level, to the shore as the water level may not allow the boat to reach the beach.

It was fine.. - A really nice trip. Unfortunately, the snorkeling spot wasn't that nice, the water wasn't that clear and you couldn't see much/far, but there were lots of fish swimming around you. We had 3 hours on the island with the pigs. There was lunch, which was OK, and you could borrow a kayak for 15 minutes. Apart from the pigs, there was nothing special about the island, so 3 hours was a bit long. Overall, a nice trip, but nothing more.

Snorkeling flop, Pig Island okay - We booked this tour as a sunset tour (cheaper on Koh Samui than on the internet). The transfer to the pier and back was in a new, very comfortable minibus. The crossing to the snorkeling stop was short, drinks on board. Unfortunately, the snorkeling area was characterized by broken, dead corals, hardly any fish to speak of, murky water, masses of snorkelers. Unfortunately, the crew neglected to point out that standing and touching the corals is strictly prohibited! Accordingly, a whole number of tourists stood on the corals despite their life jackets. It's a shame, there is still so much stupidity. Our friendly advice on this was not understood or ignored. Pig Island as an island in itself is really beautiful. It's worth walking along the beach. We have mixed feelings about the pigs and dogs. On the one hand, the locals need sources of income, on the other hand, you feel sorry for the animals. The area around the small bar and the seating could be kept cleaner, some relaxed music would perhaps boost sales. The sunset on the return journey is short, and we stop for photos. All in all, we would skip the snorkeling stop next time (Andaman Sea, Red Sea, Maldives are much nicer). In our opinion, the tour itself is too long (1 hour snorkeling + 2 hours Pig Island + 1 hour dinner {was delicious} as well as the arrival and departure).

A poor trip - This was a very average trip, with a couple of things cobbled together. Picked up at hotel was on time, but unsure why we had to be picked up so early, given that we then needed to hang around for an hour before leaving. Pig island, was a lovely sandy island, with a load a pigs dumped on it. Nothing special about the pigs. Just rolling around in the mud - as pigs do really. Spent an hour and a half here, although you could kayak if you wanted to. We’d done it previously, so just waited for the main snorkelling event, that we looked forward to. However, this was the main disappointment. We were basically dropped off in fairly shallow choppy water, with little visibility. It was really hard to avoid the coral and reef, despite being told to previously. You couldn’t see anything, and even the rocks and reef were unclear until you were virtually on top of them - quite dangerous. We then had to swim across a main boating channel, to try to see some fish, but this only stirred the water up more. You did see the odd fish, but nothing really, especially compared to the 2 island snorkelling trip we did the other day - which was amazing. The food when we got back was really nice, hence the extra star. Not recommended!

Boring - Waste of money and time. There are better ways to spend your time and money. Do not go. The lunch was okay. Swimming in the sea 20 minutes. Rest was horrible

Tourist trap - A tourist trap to avoid at all cost!! Pig Island is very dirty with rubbish everywhere which is a shame. You stay there for 2 hours just so you can spend money at the bar . Only about 10 pigs on island which are clearly not wild. Big disappointment. Crew and staff of the tour were nice.
