Pig Island trip - Great morning out! Picked up from our hotel promptly driven to the port for a short speedboat trip to the island, given plenty of time to enjoy the scenery and the pigs roaming around. Then off to snorkeling which was great apart from a lot of other boat trips arriving at the same time (wouldn't want to be there in high season) but enjoyable all the same. Finally lunch and short speedboat trip back.
Crew were great and overall we had a good morning out.

Very good tour - We were forgotten in the morning because we had booked very late the day before, but it was directly apologized and offered a tour in the afternoon. The tour was very nice and so was Pig Island. The food was quite good and the guides and the captain very nice and professional. If you go further in on the island there is a lot of garbage and glass bottles where the pigs are rummaging around. Unfortunately, some of them also had wounds that probably came from it. But this is a suggestion for improvement to the island and has nothing to do with the tour, which is why I still give 5 stars. We were very pleased.

All about the pigs - Great half day tour to pig island.
10am set sail, a short trip out to the reefs for some swimming with the fish and there are plenty swimming around you. Then off to pig island again only a short trip.
All about the pigs! Lucky with the timing as we saw 4 day old pigs to a couple of weeks old. Some of the pigs even go in the sea which makes great photos.
Also a few dogs on the island and they loved playing in the sea chasing the fish.
Lunch is provided and is fine for a mass buffet - typically Thai food.
All in all a good half day out of the resort.

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

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.

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!

Total tourist trap - First we went snorkeling by boat. The water was very cloudy and we didn't see a single fish (if it rained the day before that can happen - I don't deduct any points for that either).
Arriving on Pig Island, we were horrified at first by the garbage lying around everywhere. You see some piggies and dogs just lying around. Anyone who has ever seen pigs should save the money! Pigs only enter the water if they are lured with food. Please spare yourself this trip!

Attention tourist trap and dangerous for humans and animals! - Watch out! Actually, I read on the Internet that it would not be allowed to take plastic bottles here. That's why we assumed this island would be kept clean... (for humans and animals)!!!AFTER PAYMENT, BUT FIRST YOU GET A PLASTIC BOTTLE!
Unfortunately, the opposite was true. My sister steps into a CANNULA... overalm on it lies rubbish.... Broken glass, dirt. I can't imagine what would have happened if one of our children had jumped into that cannula. Everywhere on the island there is the greatest DANGER OF INJURY to humans and animals!
The pigs just lie around full of food, some mothers snap too. Feels, every 15 minutes a careless touri trips over one of the little piglets. The dogs on the island look bad....
Do not trust these photos, everything can be photographed beautifully.
The island is dirty, the animals when lured by Touris with food to the water for photos. We would have loved to leave right away. Cruelty to animals and tourist trap! Don’t support this anymore! 🤢🤢🤢

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
