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.
Response from Host, Dec 2025
Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations.
Regarding Thong Krut, we would like to clarify that this is the name of our pier, and it is the exact location where all guests depart and return. Therefore, we can assure you 100% that you have been to Thong Krut as part of the tour.
We also apologize if the tour felt rushed. Our team always aims to give guests enough time at each stop, including snorkeling, but timing can be affected by sea conditions and the number of guests at each location. We will review this with our team to ensure a smoother flow.
For the kayaks, they are always available on Pig Island; however, they may sometimes be in use by other guests or moved by the island staff. We will coordinate more closely with the island team to make sure they are clearly visible and accessible for all guests.
We appreciate your comments about the lunch and will share this with the restaurant partner to improve the quality and consistency.
Your feedback is very important to us, and we truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a much better experience.
Warm regards,
Pig Island Experience Team

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.
Response from Host, Sep 2025
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time on the Pig Island Experience. It’s great that you enjoyed the snorkeling, the friendly pigs (and dogs!), and the relaxed atmosphere on the island.
We’re also glad to know that lunch was plentiful and that the pickup and drop-off went smoothly – we always want the whole experience to be stress-free and enjoyable.
Thank you for sharing such helpful tips about wearing a life jacket for snorkeling – this will be very useful for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for more family memories in Samui soon!

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 we will ask for Goodie again!

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.
Response from Host, Feb 2025
Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. We genuinely value your input, as it helps us to improve our service.
Regarding the pickup process, since this was a join-in tour, pickups from multiple locations are necessary to accommodate all guests. We understand the wait was longer than expected, and we appreciate your patience. For those seeking a more personalized experience, we also offer private tours with direct transfers.
As for Pig Island, we aim to provide an authentic encounter with the resident pigs. We understand your perspective about them looking similar, but, of course, pigs are pigs—they naturally share many physical characteristics. Nonetheless, we’re glad you found the baby pigs cute!
We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the snorkeling conditions. Visibility can vary depending on weather and sea conditions, and we appreciate your understanding.
Your feedback on the food is noted. We aim to cater to a variety of tastes, but we'll certainly look into expanding our menu options.
We’re truly concerned about your drop-off experience. Our drivers are expected to ensure the safety and convenience of all passengers, and it’s unacceptable that you were left feeling unsafe. We will address this matter seriously with our transport team to ensure this doesn’t happen again.
We appreciate your review and thank you for bringing these issues to our attention. Should you decide to give us another chance, we would be more than happy to provide you with a better experience.
Safe travels,

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 !!!!

Donna_W, Jan 2025
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.
Response from Host, Jan 2025

It’s also wonderful to know that our crew made your day even more enjoyable with their helpfulness and fantastic service.
We appreciate your feedback regarding the drive to the departure point.

We do our best to make the journey as comfortable as possible and thank you for your understanding.
Thank you for recommending us, especially to families! We’d love to welcome you back on another adventure in the future.

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.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you so much for your thoughtful review! 😊 We're glad to hear you had an enjoyable day despite the rainy season affecting the snorkeling conditions—you're absolutely right, the ocean has its own plans sometimes! It's wonderful that you found Pig Island reasonably priced and enjoyed the buffet. We’re also happy to hear the pigs brought a smile to your day and that our guide made the experience even more memorable. Thank you for pointing out the busyness during this season; it's a good tip for future travelers. We hope to welcome you back for another adventure soon! 🐷🌴🚤

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.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the pigs and appreciated the unique experience and beautiful views. However, we’re genuinely sorry to hear that other aspects of the tour did not meet your expectations.
Your comments about the beach maintenance, food quality, and lack of educational information have been noted, and we will address these concerns with our team and partners to improve the experience for future guests. Weather conditions, like recent rain, can unfortunately affect snorkeling, but we strive to make up for it in other areas of the tour.
We truly value your feedback as it helps us improve, and we hope you’ll consider giving us another opportunity to provide a better experience in the future.

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.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you so much for sharing your detailed feedback! We're glad to hear you appreciated Pig Island's beauty and the effort our team put into ensuring everyone had a good experience, even with less-than-ideal weather conditions.
We understand how important snorkeling and kayaking are to the overall experience, and we're sorry these elements fell short due to the weather. Your comments about the alternate snorkeling spot and food quality are very helpful, and we'll use them to improve our offerings.
Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope you'll join us again on a sunny day for an even better adventure! 🌞🐖

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 😁
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you for your thoughtful feedback and kind words about our staff—they’ll be happy to hear that their efforts stood out to you! We’re sorry to hear the group size and atmosphere didn’t align with the experience you were hoping for.
Your suggestion for a smaller group or more personalized adventure is well-taken, as we know that true adventurers often seek a more tranquil and intimate connection with nature. For future trips, we recommend considering a private tour option, which might better match your preferences for solitude and a more tailored experience.
We’re always striving to balance the popularity of these activities with providing a quality experience for everyone. Thank you for sharing your perspective, and we hope your next adventure will be exactly what you’re looking for! 🌴🐖

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.

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.

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 :)

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.

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!
Response from Host, May 2024
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback on the Pig Island Experience. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed seeing the pigs and found that aspect of the trip worthwhile. However, we're sorry to learn that other parts of the experience did not meet your expectations, particularly regarding the value for money.
We appreciate your honest comments about the organization, snorkeling, kayaking equipment, and the quality of lunch provided. We aim for a seamless and enjoyable experience for all our guests, and clearly, we fell short in these areas during your visit. Your feedback is invaluable to us as we strive to improve our services and ensure all aspects of the tour are up to standard.
We will certainly address the issues with waiting times at the pier and the availability of kayaking equipment to prevent such inconveniences in the future. Additionally, we will review our meal offerings to ensure they are of a higher quality and served at the appropriate temperature.
Thank you again for your review. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a more satisfying experience in the future, should you choose to give us another chance.

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 !
