The tour day
Morning Pick-up
Jump into our comfy AC-minibus around 8:30 a.m or 1:00pm! We’ll swing by your hotel and head over to the pier in Bang Khao (South Samui). We’ll pick up some other fellow explorers along the way, so it’s a great time to get into the island mood.
Setting Sail
The ship leaves around 09:45 a.m. for the morning and 2:45 p.m. for the afternoon program from the small fishing village and arrives at the snorkeling activity spot at Koh Tan after an 20-minute boat trip under normal sea conditions.
Koh Tan
We anchor in front of the neighboring island, Koh Tan. The underwater world is very special here because of the still intact coral reef. You will get the snorkeling equipment free of charge to explore the diverse species of sea creatures on 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/Dinner
Now it's time to eat something and fortify yourself for the adventure day. A deliciously prepared traditional Thai lunch is already waiting for you. Right on the white sandy beach with an unforgettable view of the sea, you have enough time to eat and watch the free-roaming pigs. A truly unique experience that will be positively remembered.
Return to Samui
As soon as all participants are back and fully on board, we ship back to Koh Samui around 2:15 p.m. or 6:30 p.m. The crossing back to Samui is beautiful, as the different island scenery will leave an unforgettable impression. Sea creatures have often been spotted here. After a crossing of about 15 minutes, we are safely back at the pier where we started.
We bring you back
We’ll grab you from the arrival pier in a nice, cool AC minibus and get you right back to your place. We'll be dropping everyone off one by one along the way, so just sit back and enjoy the ride!

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 …

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.
