The worst and worst in mass tourism you can experience. Damn stressful, poorly packed with people. Save your money and do something else instead!
Tack för att du tog dig tid att dela din upplevelse med oss. Vi är verkligen ledsna att höra att turen inte levde upp till dina förväntningar. Din resa ägde rum under nyårsperioden, vilket är den mest intensiva högsäsongen i Thailand. Under denna tid kan mycket populära platser som Pig Island tyvärr bli mycket välbesökta, vilket kan upplevas som stressigt och mindre avslappnande. Vi beklagar uppriktigt att detta påverkade din upplevelse negativt. Turen till Pig Island är en delad speedboat-utflykt, och även om vi gör vårt bästa för att hantera tid, organisation och renlighet, ligger antalet besökare under högsäsong ibland utanför vår fulla kontroll. Din feedback kring trängsel och upplevelsekvalitet tas dock på största allvar och kommer att användas för att förbättra våra tjänster där det är möjligt. Vi uppskattar din ärlighet och är ledsna att denna utflykt inte passade dig. Om du skulle besöka Koh Samui igen under en lugnare period hjälper vi gärna till att rekommendera mer stillsamma alternativ eller privata turer för en bättre upplevelse. Vänliga hälsningar
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.
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
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.
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
Well the excursion rather bad. Snorkeling you could see nothing d nothing, a bad place, it was still the day, the day before we went to koh tao and expectations were high. Pig island una 💩, all dirty (to expect from that name) long lying there. Very normal food. Kayak... we were given 10 minutes to walk around the inlet. The beautiful sunset but they didn't wear that lol. Summary for me is not worth it (after you have gone to koh tao). The crew was nice that if.
Gracias por tomarte el tiempo de compartir tu opinión. 🌴 Lamentamos sinceramente que la experiencia no haya cumplido con tus expectativas. Cada día en el mar puede ser diferente, especialmente con la visibilidad del snorkel, que depende mucho del clima y las mareas. En esta época del año comienza la temporada de lluvias, lo que puede afectar la claridad del agua y las condiciones del mar. Para la próxima vez, te recomendamos visitar Koh Samui durante la temporada seca, entre enero y abril, cuando el clima es más estable y el mar está en perfectas condiciones para el snorkel y otras actividades acuáticas. ☀️🌊 Nos alegra saber que la tripulación fue amable y que pudiste disfrutar del atardecer, uno de los momentos más mágicos del tour. Gracias nuevamente por tu feedback. Esperamos tener la oportunidad de ofrecerte una experiencia más satisfactoria en el futuro. 🙏
It's fantastic it's a must see & do value for money great boat staff lunch was fantastic pigs are so much fun to watch
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! 🌴 We’re thrilled you enjoyed the Pig Island experience, from snorkeling and kayaking to relaxing on the beach. Our team will be happy to hear your kind words about the boat staff and lunch. The pigs really are a fun highlight, aren’t they? We hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable adventure soon! 🐷✨ Best regards, Tony & Team Backpacker Samui Travel Group Koh Samui, Thailand
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.
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
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!
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

It was okay. But there are other experiences where you get to see the same thing and more and that are better. When we were snorkeling there were a lot of people in a small area which meant that you could hardly swim around. You could absolutely see fish and coral reefs. The lunch served was fine. I eat vegetarian so my food was cold which was a bit boring. Pig Island was super cozy with pigs running around. Would have liked to have more sunbeds.
Tack för din ärliga recension! Vi är glada att du uppskattade Grisön och att du fick se fiskar och korallrev under snorklingen. Vi beklagar att snorklingsområdet kändes trångt och att din vegetariska lunch inte höll rätt temperatur – det är något vi tar vidare med vårt team. Vi uppskattar även din synpunkt om solstolar och kommer se över möjligheten att förbättra komforten på stranden. Tack igen för att du delade med dig – din feedback hjälper oss att förbättras!
Pick up at the hotel to the time however a little long waiting time about 50 min by the boat before departure. Adjust time for snorkeling. Good information throughout the trip regarding meeting times, lunch etc. All in all a pleasant day
Tusind tak for din anmeldelse! Vi er glade for at høre, at du havde en hyggelig dag med os på Pig Island. Tak for din tålmodighed med ventetiden ved båden – vi arbejder altid på at forbedre vores logistik for at gøre oplevelsen endnu mere gnidningsfri. Dejligt at høre, at snorklingen og informationen under turen levede op til forventningerne. Med venlig hilsen, Tony & Team 🏝️🐷⛵
