Hair raising
Very disorganised with a lot of waiting around. When we finally got on the boat, the captain drove far too fast amongst high waves. All of the Perspex windows were broken, which caused scratches and cuts to passengers. We all got completely drenched and my husband had his phone destroyed- not great when you’re in the middle of your vacation. The beach we stopped at for lunch wasn’t remotely appealing and we had to walk knee high in water and jagged rocks for quite a while as the tide had gone out. The pigs were great when we got to them eventually but the day was ruined by the captains reckless behaviour. It put us off future boat trips 😞
Response from the operator: We are deeply sorry for the unsafe and upsetting experience you described. Your safety is extremely important to us, and we are very concerned to hear about the high waves, damaged boat windows, injuries, long waiting times, and damage to personal belongings. Please send us your booking details so our team can urgently investigate this with the boat operator and review what happened. We sincerely apologize that this affected your vacation and appreciate you bringing this serious matter to our attention.

Pigs are great but wouldn’t go with this company
Hair raising! Very disorganised. Lots of waiting around and when we finally got in the boat, the captain decided to risk our safety by going too fast in high waves. Windows on boat got smashed, people were covered in cuts and bruises and my husbands phone was destroyed. To date, haven’t even had an apology
Response from the operator: We are deeply sorry for the frightening and unsafe experience you described. Your safety is extremely important to us, and we are very concerned to hear about the high waves, damaged boat windows, injuries, and personal property damage. Please send us your booking details urgently so our team can investigate this case with the operator and follow up properly. We sincerely apologize that you have not received a response sooner, and we appreciate you bringing this serious matter to our attention.

Pigs are soooooo cute
Great afternoon outing from collection at hotel and tour of the island to getting on our speedboat, going snorkelling, lunch and then pig island. Really worth every penny! Great guides Joe and Cola! Speed boat very well driven too!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so glad you enjoyed the whole experience—from the hotel pick-up and island tour to snorkeling, lunch, and visiting Pig Island. It’s fantastic to hear Joe and Cola made your day special and that the speedboat ride was handled so well. We truly appreciate your kind words!

Pig Island, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Pig Island, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui cost?
+
Prices start at $58 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, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui take?
+
Plan for about 5 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, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 46 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.3/5 across 3 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, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui?
+
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, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pig Island, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui?
+
Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pig Island, Koh Tan Snorkel, and Lunch: Boat Tour from Koh Samui 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 Koh Samui: Viewpoint, Elephant, Pig Island & Snorkel + Lunch, 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.
