The tour day
Morning Pick-up
The local operator will pick you up at the port and then guide you to the the harbor in Thong Krut (South Samui). The driver is waiting for you to arrive, between 9:00 & 9:20 a.m., at the arrival port of Nathon! (Meeting point!) Due to program logistics, you must be at the meeting point on time!
Snorkeling
We will start around 9:45 a.m. from the small fishing village, and head to the neighboring island of Koh Tan. Because of the still intact coral reef, the underwater world is very special here. You will get the snorkeling equipment free of charge to explore the diverse species of sea creatures in calm seas with a clear view.
Pig Island
After a short crossing from Koh Tan, we reach the nearby neighboring island. Welcome to the beautiful island of Koh Mudsum. Here the world stands still, because there is still no civilization, running water or electricity. Amazingly, there are a few woolly pigs here on the white sand beach, like in the Bahamas. Enough time to go kayaking (depending on sea conditions already at Koh Tan), swimming, or relaxing on the beach.
Lunch
You will enjoy a delicious Thai lunch in a popular local restaurant on the beach with a beautiful view of the ocean. There is guaranteed something for everyone, and you don't have to worry that the dish may be too spicy for you. The selection is huge and the healthy ingredients and spices are simply delicious.
We bring you back
Around 2:00 p.m. we will bring you back to the port of Nathon where you will arrive around 2:30 p.m. Since this is an excursion by our partner, our usual back-to-ship guarantee is void. Of course, our partner always has top priority to bring you back to your ship on time! Don't worry!!

The Pig Island half-day trip was a really fun experience for my family at a great price. I would highly recommend it. The pickup when smoothly and saved us at least $40 each way in cab fare. The snorkeling was really fun and Pig Island was a blast. The beach is beautiful and the pigs were cute. Would highly recommend this to anyone. The boat ride was 15 mins each way too, …

The organisation of the tour is very good,. We spent 40 mins snorkelling off the coral reef where we saw lots of fish, then the short ride on the boat to pig island where it is very clean considering pigs live there. Lots of cute baby pigs for great photos. The lunch was very tasty and consisted of 3 different meat dishes, rice and fruit to finish. Great experience …

Morning trip to pig island, very well organised and staff were knowledgeable and friendly. Boat was in good condition with staff carrying out safety measures and always on hand to help anyone in/off boat. A good amount of time on Pig Island and lunch was excellent. Even had fries for the kids! The pigs are adorable and a really fun day out. After lunch you have the …

It has always been a dream of mine to swim with pigs but assumed it would only be possible in the Bahamas. During my stay in Koh Samui I stumbled upon this tour and am so glad I booked it. The boat crew was exceptionally nice and attentive. The pigs were adorable - even though they were not in the water on that day - and you could pet them and enjoy their presence even …

Super affordable, tours are kind and accomodating. Snorkelling was inclusive and good fun. Pig island clean, pigs and dogs very friendly. Lunch and water provided as well as pick up and drop off (45 minute trip both ways!). Minimal time on the boat which is a great incentive too.
- Freddy Berger★★★★★
We booked as a family of 5 just the evening before. The trip was very well organised, pick-up at the hotel and drop-off in time. I very much recommend this half day trip, Mr. 11 explained everything and was an excellent guide. Also the food provided on pig island was very good.
