The best day out ever. For the price you pay you get an intimate day snorkelling and exercise the pig island it is a perfect length of time ans the boat driver was really welcoming and accommodating.
If you are looming for a romantic atmosphere whilst exploring i would do this. During October the crowds are less and it is definitely best for 2 people.

Great trip out
A great trip out. Collected on time in a private car. Boat across was a bit bumpy but was great fun. Snorkelling was good, guide and boat driver were great, pig island was busy but a must see.

Pig island, 🐖 amazing fun
Our tour guide was excellent, she took photos for us, spoke excellent English and always made sure we were comfortable. Pig Island was amazing! My 13 year old daughter lit up as she gave food and especially water to all the baby pigs. (She was a bit frightened of the big boars). There is a bar there to buy food and drinks (and even joints). Not crazy expensive either. The best part was bar people would pop a hole in the top of your water and you could give the pigs water like from a baby bottle. It was sooo cute. Feeding them wasn't much fun as you couldn't feed them by hand and had to put a plate of food on the ground and step back as they acted like....well, pigs 😂. Fabulous experience. Snorkelling wasn't great cause weather was stormy but lunch was really yummy. The long boat is quite difficult to get in and out of so if you have any mobility issues this trip is not for you. The speedboats were a much easier option if you need to though

Just ok.
Ok place for a hour or so. Pigs everywhere but the island was filled with trash and not kept up at all. Bathrooms were disgusting. The pigs were awesome however, from massive ones to tingly little piglettes. The beach is nice and the guide was great. Just over all 3 *’s. They need to clean up the property and it would be really nice.

Very nice private experience
Water was quite troubled for snorkeling. Beginners will like it, but passionate divers may be a little disappointed.
A lot of people are on the snorkeling place and on pig island.
But the fact of having a long tail boat just for us two was amazing. One sailor on board, and very friendly. Transfer from and to hotel was very nice too, with confortable cars. All the experience was smooth.

Pig Island trip
Great trip to Pig Island. Sea was a bit rough and we got soaked going but dried out in the sun. Was amazing seeing the pigs. Only a couple of hours needed on this island as nothing else to do. Remember to take a towel as well

A proper must do.
This was another great afternoon. The company picked us up at our hotel, on time.
Dropped us at the pier. Where we got on a long boat. We stopped for snorkeling (about40 minutes). Then on to pig island.
We had 2 hours. What a treat. We fed the pigs ( you can buy a bag of pig food), they are very friendly. We are around 60 years old and had a great time. It would be amazing for kids.
Then back to the pier where the car was waiting to take us back to our hotel. Well done everyone involved in organising this trip.
A real must do. If you don't do it you are missing out.
