    Response from the operator: Dear traveler, Sorry to hear that you had an unsatisfied experience from your booking! However, to be fair enough with us, please inform that you did not make the booking with us at all, the picture of the long tail boat is not even from our company please. Next time to your visiting Koh Samui, you can try to use our service :) Best regards, Jiggy

    Fun day!

    We were picked up on time from our hotel. Our tour leader was fantastic! He Explained what the day was going to involve. When we got to pick Island, he pointed out places to go and explained how to feed the pigs. He kept an eye on me and my friends and took great pictures!

    Perfect half day tour not far from Koh Samui

    The staffs are very nice, and it's beautiful day to relax on the beach and see the cuties pigs on the island.

    Disappointing and all a bit shabby

    Booked this half day tour as it wasn’t too far on a long tail as my partner bit nervous of the sea…..Pig Island is really not worth the visit ….beach only has a small spit with reasonable sand, the rest is coarse and also loads of litter all along it. A few bits of beach furniture , all very tatty . Beach “Bar/ Cafe” , also a bit grim . Yes there are pigs there but that’s about it , take your photo and go …if you are stopping off here on way to somewhere else ok , but don’t spend more than 30 mins here. The snorkelling at the next part was ok , but generally not a half day tour I would recommend .

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, Sorry to hear that you don't get a good experience from the Pig Island trip. Actually, this trip is for people who have small children and elder person traveling as the place its own has not much activity to do, just the beach on the small island for swimming and relaxing. However, we have a lots of our customers love this island and stay all their half days to just relax and get the sea breeze. So, I think it may depends on the favorite of each person. Hope, you will enjoy the rest things to do on your vacation in Koh Samui! Best regards, Jiggy

    Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Koh Samui.

    How much does Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat 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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat 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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 53 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.6/5 across 5 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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat?

    +

    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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat 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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat?

    +

    Around 2 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 Private Half Day Trip to Pig Island and Koh Tan by Long Tail Boat 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.
