Disappointing

3.00The crew were friendly and helpful but the itinerary was misleading as we were expecting to visit Koh tan and seafood lunch at khanom - neither of which happened. Unfortunately we didn’t see the dolphins; but appreciate there’s no guarantees. We snorkelled off shore but the sea was too murky to see much - we went to pig island where we bought a drink and then back to the original meeting point for a nice lunch - but the transport collected us early at 2.15pm and we were hurried on to the transport- very hurried experience overall and definitely not worth the money we paid
Wonderful package

5.00The boat was clean and not overly crowded. The equipment was clean and the service professional.
Wonderful Day!

5.00Due to the fact that dolphins are in their natural habitat it is not guaranteed you will see them, luckily we did catch quite a few glimpses. They were pink! Dark dorsal fin, but actual pink flesh. It was amazing! The reef they choose to take you snorkeling is below average, Not very active, there were some fish but not the beautiful colored fish you would think you would see in Thailand, and definitely not a vibrantly live reef but it was still very enjoyable. Pig island was interesting. The swimming was lovely, there were tables and lounge chairs and cabanas all around the beach and by the bar. There were lots of pigs, of every size, some sleeping under tables and in random spots, but most were clustered together behind the bar in the shade waiting for people to feed them. Rather touristy, but still cool to have pigs on an island. Then back to the starting point for an excellent lunch! Great day, I would recommend it if you are looking for an interesting excursion.
Unbearable

1.00The fact that you haven't seen the dolphins is okay, they are wild animals and unfortunately there is no guarantee to see them. The snorkeling is one of those things too, nobody is to blame if the water is a bit murky that day. But what is not possible at all, what is absolutely not possible, is what was seen on Pig Island. There was a pig lying on the beach with bloody scratches everywhere, it was still lying in the same place after an hour without any visible movement. Then there were 2 piglets (not weighing a kilo) they were running around more than powerless and were constantly on their toes, I learned from a jet ski provider that the mother sow had died 4 days ago and the 2 little ones have not been suckled since then as the other sows were not suckling them, why not bottle breeding? Why are the animals not protected from the public? It's unbearable to see such a thing. It was my last trip with you if you as a provider don't learn to pay attention to a minimum wage of animal welfare.
No pink dolphin spotted but a wonderful day

5.00Great day out on water, beach and snorkeling. This is a great boat ride but we did not find the elusive pink dolphin
Disappointed and didn’t even get to go

1.00I unfortunately didn’t even get to go because the tour operator changed my booking date from the 8th to the 9th of January because there were “fully booked” then I found out the trip was cancelled in the morning of the 9th due to apparent bad weather even though it was a sunny day with a little wind. This was very inconsiderate and meant I couldn’t organise anything from my friends to do on either of those days because everything else was fully booked at that point. So because this tour stuffed me around I didn’t get to do anything for two days which is very irritating as I only had a stay of a couple days in Koh Samui. I suggest finding a more reliable tour operator or don’t have your hopes up if they cancel on you.
Highly recommend!

5.00Excellent experience. Our guide was informative and friendly. He made sure we were all aware of the safety guidelines on the boat, the snorkelling area and around the pigs. We were lucky enough to see the pink dolphins and they kept us updated on where they were so we could all get pictures of them. We had a nice safe spot for snorkelling, enough time there but not too long that it got tiring. We had a good amount of time on the pig island, we got to pet the pigs and hang out on the island where there was a bar and options to buy pig food. Definitely recommend this tour.
Nice day out

4.00Had a good day overall. The trip was well organised with hotel pick up that was spot on with time of pick up. Saw dolphins but don’t expect instagram worthy pictures but the dolphins are pink. Snorkelling for an hour was great although the water wasn’t clear but murky but there had been a typhoon a few days earlier so not sure if this was down to that or is normal. Lots of fish and they feed them from the boat so be aware if you are a little scared of them Pig island was nice but again it’s not the wild pig experience you may think. These animals are domesticated and roam freely but don’t expect them to be swimming with you. They love coconut so our advice is buy one to drink and then smash it. The bar staff will do this for you. Be aware it is like a drug to them and in our case they wanted it badly and bit my partner to get it so if you have children don’t mess around giving it them. Funny when we look back. Returned to a nice self serve lunch but get there prompt. As a vegetarian it was good to see we were catered for but the food is available to everyone so get in there quick if you are veggie or vegan
Nice guides, did they...

5.00Nice guides, the dolphins saw. It's really like the prospectus. Food was great, gladly again!
We really enjoyed this day out

4.00A great day out. 4/5 due to staff feeding fish when snorkeling and allowing customers to feed bread to the fish while in the water. Other than this all was good
