Would not recommend. Tour promises many things but you only do half of the things it mentions in the itinerary.
The overall tour felt rushed as if they wanted to get people in and out. There wasnt much time for snorkelling either just one quick session and off to pig island. The tickets promised kayaks but there was no mention or sight of a kayak anywhere when we got to pig island. The lunch in pig island was okay but for the price of the tour, it was mediocre. Also, tickets included Thong Krut but it never happened. Overall disappointing experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for sharing your feedback. We are truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding Thong Krut, we would like to clarify that this is the name of our pier, and it is the exact location where all guests depart and return. Therefore, we can assure you 100% that you have been to Thong Krut as part of the tour. We also apologize if the tour felt rushed. Our team always aims to give guests enough time at each stop, including snorkeling, but timing can be affected by sea conditions and the number of guests at each location. We will review this with our team to ensure a smoother flow. For the kayaks, they are always available on Pig Island; however, they may sometimes be in use by other guests or moved by the island staff. We will coordinate more closely with the island team to make sure they are clearly visible and accessible for all guests. We appreciate your comments about the lunch and will share this with the restaurant partner to improve the quality and consistency. Your feedback is very important to us, and we truly hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a much better experience. Warm regards, Pig Island Experience Team

Love pig island 🏝
The staff were very nice and helped getting me on and off the boat. They were really friendly too. Snorkelling was excellent, saw lots of amazing fish and sea vegetation. Lunch was yummy, I had the vegetarian option. Kayaking fun. Pigs soooo cute and friendly dogs.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! 🏝🐷💙 We’re so happy to hear you had such a great time on Pig Island — from the friendly crew and smooth boat experience to the snorkeling, kayaking, and delicious lunch. It’s wonderful that you enjoyed the vegetarian option and met our adorable pigs and playful island dogs too! 🐠🐕 We truly appreciate you sharing your experience and hope to welcome you back again soon for another fun day out in the islands! 🌞🚤 All the best, Tony & Team Backpacker Samui Travel group Koh Samui, Thailand

Lovely family trip making memories
Excellent experience starting off with snorkelling which was good fun (definitely recommend wearing the life jacket to help keep you floating on the surface as the area is shallow and you can easily cut yourself on the rocks). Then we visited pig island which was so lovely. There were also around 10 friendly dogs there too. Lunch was nice and there was plenty for everyone (including leftovers for the pigs). Pickup and drop off was very straightforward too.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted to hear that you and your family had such a wonderful time on the Pig Island Experience. It’s great that you enjoyed the snorkeling, the friendly pigs (and dogs!), and the relaxed atmosphere on the island. We’re also glad to know that lunch was plentiful and that the pickup and drop-off went smoothly – we always want the whole experience to be stress-free and enjoyable. Thank you for sharing such helpful tips about wearing a life jacket for snorkeling – this will be very useful for future guests. We hope to welcome you back for more family memories in Samui soon! Warm regards, Tony & Team Backpacker Samui Travel Group Koh Samui, Thailand

Save for your last day!
Absolutely a joy! I recommend saving this trip for your last day. It’s so relaxing. First stop was swimming in the ocean. Second stop is PIG Island & it does not disappoint! There were baby pigs everywhere & adorable!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing your experience! 🐷✨ We’re so glad you enjoyed the trip and loved Pig Island – the baby pigs are definitely a highlight! Saving it for your last day sounds like the perfect way to end a vacation. Hope to welcome you back again soon! 🌴 Tony & Team

Why this scores 59
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach cost?
+
Prices start at $51 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 Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 59 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 96 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 Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach?
+
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 Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach?
+
Around 34 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pig Island Experience By Speed Boat, Snorkeling, Kayaking Relaxing on the Beach 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.
