Pig lovers ahoi!
Very nice activity for pig/animal lovers. At the arrival at the pier we were met the other participants (just 2, so we were just 5 🙂) and by our guide who gave us nice, clean towels and water and explained us the program, we then took a long-tailed boat to reach the first stop: snorkeling (masks provided). Nice but not exceptional due to the visibility that was not optimal due to the weather conditions. After one hour we went to pig island: the island itself is beautiful but most of all: full of friendly pigs, from a few weeks old (cuuuute!) to big, old hags. People flocked to them and viceversa: they not they will get fresh water from visitors. It was really fun, also because we arrived quite early and the place wasn’t crowded. Lunch was simple but good. All on all it was fun and very well run by the tour operator. Nice touches: we were picked up at our resort by the tour operator himself (thanks Rob!), who also gave us good advice about restaurants, means of transportation and such; while we were on pig island the guide stayed were we left our stuff, enabling us to roam freely until lunch. Price was also lower than the competitors: definitely recommended.

Pig Island Koh Samui
Naphat Tour Koh Samui - Half Day Snorkelling Itinerary. We booked this trip mainly for the visit to Pig Island. We were taken to Rap Island for snorkelling, kayaking and paddle boarding. All equipment is provided within the price. The island has a bar but nothing else. Waters were too shallow for swimming or snorkelling and you were left here for 2 hours. Lunch was provided on Rap Island which was really tasty and plentiful. We then arrived at Pig Island and given around 30-40 minutes to see the pigs. You can provide feed for around 50 baht and water for around 20 baht. The pigs will take water from you and you’re given a little plate for the pellets. The younger pigs are very cute but the bigger ones will literally dig their teeth into a water bottle to take it from you, so if with children keep to the smaller pigs. The beach is lovely on Pig Island and water clean. We were then take to another snorkelling area in deep waters, you can jump off the front of the boat and ladders on the back to get back in. There is no coral and just a few fish to be seen. Again, mask and snorkel provided and they were immaculately clean. Overall a good day but could be shorter without being left on the beach for 2 hours. Food was amazing.
Response from the operator: I’m so sorry about your experience however please check you booked with tourexplore as we have not been operating our pig island tour

Why this scores 75
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience cost?
+
Prices start at $55 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Koh Samui usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Koh Samui is not rushed.
Is Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 75 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 150 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience?
+
Around 53 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Koh Samui can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Koh Samui and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Half Day Pig Island and Snorkeling Experience start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Koh Samui within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Koh Samui?
+
On Outty we rank every Koh Samui experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Angthong National Marine Park VIP Small Group Tour, Cooking Class in Koh Samui with Micro Organic Garden, Half Day Elephant Home Sanctuary in Samui. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Koh Samui?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Koh Samui?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
