Pigs in paradise
Wonderful excursion. The driver was exactly on time. He got us to the dock and gave us clear instructions on the boat. The boat was fast and clean. The swimming with the pigs experience was really fun. The pigs didn't actually get in the water while we were there, but they allowed us to feed them water. They were very tame and fun to be with. The beach was pristine. The second part of the tour was a snorkeling adventure. This was also quite fine. It was well organized. The coral reef appeared to be dying, but there were still some fish to be seen. The third stop was lunch at another island. The lunch was very good local food. I would highly recommend this trip.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your detailed and wonderful review! 😊 We’re delighted you enjoyed the speedboat, Pig Island, snorkeling and delicious local lunch. Thank you also for sharing your observations about the coral reef. We appreciate your feedback and will share it with our team. We’re grateful for your recommendation.

Highly recommend this tour
What a worthwhile tour. Aikky the tour guide was excellent and funny. Aikky was very knowledgeable and helpful in every aspect. The tour is worth every penny. The trip was very well organized. We really treasured every moment. I highly recommend this tour. The view point is so beautiful. The lunch is delicious. We saw all different fish during snorkeling. The pigs are so adorable. The baby pigs would come say Hello. I Love Elephants is definitely most impressive. Everyone is very kind and gentle to the elephants. There should be more places like that in the World. I would definitely recommend to friends and family about this tour when they come to Koh Samui
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your amazing review! 😊 We’re thrilled that you enjoyed every part of the tour, from the beautiful viewpoints and snorkeling to the pigs and the elephant experience. We’ll be sure to share your kind words with Aikky.

Pig Island Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.
How much does Pig Island Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling cost?
+
Prices start at $56 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 Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling 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 Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 769 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Koh Samui, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pig Island Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling?
+
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 Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling 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 Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling?
+
Around 269 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 Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling 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 6 Hours Elephant Care and Jungle Tour by 4WD in Koh Samui, Semi-Private yacht adventure to Ang Thong Park’s hidden treasures, Koh Samui: Viewpoint, Elephant, Pig Island & Snorkel + Lunch. 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.
