Pig Island by Longtail boat…. The best way to travel 🤗 - Excellent communication with Mr Tony re organisation/timings etc. Collected from hotel taken to a lovely new longtail boat., young Thai man took us to a beautiful snorkelling spot on the reef near Koh taen for however long we wanted then on to Pig Island. Again we stayed as long as we wished ( about an hour) lovely experience… fairly busy but wonderful to see people happy and smiling… young and old…er xx🤗 We are a couple 59 & 61 with our 13 yr old grandson and it cost no more for a boat to ourselves than in a large group….. Such a beautiful way to travel on the longtail boats…. Definitely recommend 🙏🏻🪷🇹🇭

Do it! - Everything was well organised from pick-up to returning home. The longtail boat made it feel more genuine.

Lovely trip out to Pig Island - Great little trip, the old boats were a lovely experience and the dad and son who took us really looked after us. The journey over is beautiful and the snorkelling was great. Pig island was full of pigs and dogs ( please feed both if there as the pigs get more attention) It was lunch time so after the pigs greeted us they went off for a nap. The island is Beautiful so take a walk along it. Half day is enough but you can buy refreshments there and take lots of sunscreen

Great half-day trip, well worth it - Great trip. We didn’t fancy the idea of our family of 4 being crammed into a huge speedboat with dozens of other people, so the private longtail boat trip was the best option for us (and actually cheaper). Comfortable boat, friendly pilot, good snorkelling, and a lovely visit to Pig Island. Because it was a private tour, we could stay or leave whenever we wanted. No lunch included, but there is a wee beach bar on Pig Island that you could buy whatever you wanted, which suited us (with fussy teenagers!). One suggestion for others would be to bring beach shoes, as the beach and sea at Pig Island is a bit stoney. The private transfer to and from our hotel in Chaweng took about 30 mins each way, and was a bit odd with 4 of us not in a taxi or anything, but a little Toyota Yaris with a lowered suspension and big wheels too big for the car (so it crunched every time we went over a bump), and a noisy blowing exhaust. All part of the fun ! All in a great trip, do it. We had a great day.

petting zoo - Everything worked out perfectly. Even individual requests were taken into account: we didn't want to snorkel, but wanted to go straight to Pig Island. Of course we weren't alone on the island - there were loads of tourists there:) I had imagined it to be a bit more "romantic", but it was definitely an unusual spectacle that you can tell people about when you get home.

Fantastic experience! - Fantastic experience! Pick-up from the hotel (and return) went seamlessly. It was an experience to travel out on this type of boat. First we snorkelled, before we were driven on to Pig Island. There we ate lunch, had a drink and relaxed on sunbeds. We agreed with the driver when we wanted to leave the island. There are many nice places to take pictures on the island, and lots of pigs walking around. They are friendly, and not intrusive (but will come if you coax them). It was easy to get on and off the boat, and all in all this was a great experience! Can also be recommended for families with children.

Definitely recommend! - Great views and overall a great trip! We had a private longtailboat which turned out to be a great decision! Relaxed guide and punctual driver who picked up us at our private villa in Plai Laem! Tour operator also messaged us right after the trip was confirmed and asked info for the pick up!

Nothing like Insta 🤣 - Ok saw the reviews tik too and insta and looked fab. Oh dear how different is the reality. Took local boat from Thong Krut pier paid 3200bht for 2 of us and had whole boat to ourselves. Bit more than I had seen offered. Can get organised tour with hotel pick up and lunch for 1500bht but you wait around for everyone. Went to snorkelling spot first. Water isn’t that clear compared to other places we have been, Caribbean or Egypt etc. not loads of fish species. Then to pig island bit of a run down place tbh. Few pigs lying around can’t blame them because of the heat. Came out when the food was being served. Sat around on loungers old wooden and some broke. Fortunately we didn’t have to wait around so after an hour we headed to our boat and back to shore. Most exciting part of trip. Sea seem calm but not in those boats lots of spray and bouncing up and down. Would not return and it is defo not like the photos and images x

Wasted time and money! - Pickup and transport were impeccable, precise and comfortable. Boat driver spoke poor English, so no guidance. The snorkeling experience was bad - everything was cloudy. Whether it was the snorkeling equipment or the conditions in the sea are uncertain. Pig Island was a tourist flop. Did not match advertising images, could not swim and felt dirty. The advantage was that we had a private tour and could leave after a short time. Have travelled on many snorkeling tours and other tours both in Thailand and elsewhere - and had great experiences, but this was a waste of time.

terrible - worst experience. do not this company. dingy unsafe boat and rude staff. we decided to return earlier because we were worried about weather conditions and asked to be taken back. they said sure no problem 20mins. ok. another 20mins. ok. then still no cab so i called the company and asked what time the driver would come so we would know if we could sit and eat while waiting. he instead decided to lecture us and tell us just because we stay at the W hotel we are not the center of the universe…. and then proceeded to message me telling me to apologize for asking what time the car is coming. he kept repeating that we need to listen and not speak. we asked for an early drop off but did not ask for any rush serviced. we wanted to sit down and have lunch and wanted to know how much time we had. to make matters worse: as we were waiting another group walked in and asked the price and it was a quarter of what we paid online’ definitely over paid and over tipped this experience. not sure this company likes tourists or women tbh. i am still receiving messages about how i should apologize.
