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.

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.

TERRIBLE NEVER AGAIN WARNING - SCAM SCAM SCAM **SCAM ALERT!** Terrible experience! They crammed us like sardines—60+ (I’m NOT exaggerating) on this tiny boat, just to dump us into the most pathetic snorkeling spot you can imagine. Then, as if it couldn't get worse, they dragged us to this sad little island where the so-called "pigs" look like they’ve been inbred for generations. It’s a complete tourist trap. The food? I'd rather eat my shoe. We were so desperate to escape this poo-covered nightmare that we actually paid to get off the island early. And guess what? They keep you stranded there until after 6:30 PM! Three excruciating hours of your life that you'll never get back. Avoid at all costs unless you enjoy wasting your time and money on a steaming pile of disappointment!

Not safe or worth it! - This excursion should have been cancelled for safety reasons. The first boat trip was terrifying, and all the passengers thought we would flip. They call this a snorkeling trip, yet do not even provide fins (flippers). In the afternoon trip the sea is too low to snorkel without kicking the coral. Pig Island is a gross tourist trap. There is feces everywhere. Including mouse’s feces in the food brought to me. The boat trip back was also scary. One of the men helping to get out boat out from pig island even said the me “don’t worry about me, worry about you”. I was so concerned we would flip in the wind going back. The guide ignored us the entire time. The way too and from the boat from the “pier” is steep and unsafe. Do not go on this tour.

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.
