Excellent tour - Very good experience with seeing the pigs in the island. The boat driver gave enough time to do everything and also good vibes with the music on the boat

Not to be missed! - This was a brilliant trip. Very slick and organised. Pig island, and then snorkelling off Ko Tan, and then lunch on the island (just delicious!), and then another stop for a swim and snorkel before heading back to Samui. We were offered lots of water and there was plenty of shade on the boat. We all loved it!

My kids are still talking about it! - Such a family-friendly tour! Our boys couldn’t stop laughing at the pigs swimming around and lying in the sand. The boat ride was calm and the snorkeling spot near Koh Tan was safe and beautiful. Loved every moment.

A memory we’ll always treasure - We were celebrating our honeymoon and this tour was the highlight The pigs were so cute and friendly, and the snorkeling was peaceful and colourful. The longtail boat added a rustic charm to the whole day. Highly recommend for couples.

Something truly different - We see many tours in Samui, but this one got pigs and private boat — wah, so special! My children very happy take picture with cute pigs and the snorkeling very fun. Water very clear, and the coral got many fishes

A wild and wonderful experience - Didn’t expect to fall in love with swimming pigs, but here we are 😍 Koh Madsum is insanely gorgeous and the pigs are friendly and photogenic. Snorkeling at Koh Tan was clear and relaxing. The longtail boat made it all feel extra special.

Magical beach day with piggies! - Absolutely loved this tour! The longtail boat was charming, and the islands were stunning. Swimming pigs on Koh Madsum were such a surprise 🐷 I took so many cute photos. Snorkeling near Koh Tan was beautiful too — clear water and vibrant coral. Would go again in a heartbeat!

We didn’t like the pigs... - We didn’t like the pigs as there wasn’t much to do on the island beyond giving them water or buying them food, other than a bar. Snorkelling was good and was shallow with a good variety of fish and coral.

Great day out on the water - We had a wonderful day out on the boat, our driver was awesome and very helpful. The snorkelling wasn’t the greatest as the water was quite murky however we did see loads of fish and had the best swim. I would definitely recommend to others.

‘The pigs didn’t look well cared for at all!’ - I personally feel ashamed that I took part in the tour. The pictures advertising this trip looks amazing, there’s healthy and happy pigs with a clean tidy beach. Unfortunately the reality isn’t the same as the pictures. We were one of the first boats to visit the island, there’s a small beach bar offering drinks, light snacks and weed as well as dog and pig food (all has to be paid for). When we saw the pigs there was a lot of them, we bought some food and they were all really hungry. They couldn’t have eaten the food fast enough. Unfortunately loads of tourists were just taking pictures and not feeding the pigs. We bought six bags of food as we couldn’t bare seeing how hungry they were. If you want to visit this dreadful place, please use the bowls provided and don’t sprinkle onto the sand. We also bought bottles of water and gave to the pigs as well, they were so thirsty. From what we could they had no access to clean water. I’m not surprised how thirsty they were, when they’re eating sand and being fed SEA WATER from tourists, day in, day out. The pigs didn’t look well cared for at all! They looked dirty, had scabs on their backs and some had growths underneath their bodies. There’s an information board telling you the story on how the pigs came to live on the island. The story starts genuine and seems like the owner wanted to give the pigs a better life. Now it’s become a big money making scheme, charging entry to the island and putting the animals welfare as a last resort. Overall, I would NOT recommend this island at all. They need to make some serious changes to make the animals welfare a priority. If you do decide to visit please, please, please feed and water the pigs. The water is only 20 Thai baht a bottle and the food is 50 Thai baht a bag. **On a positive note, the captain and your woman who took us to the island were lovely. They kept us hydrated and spoke good English**
