  Very nice trip with a relatively small group. Food was very good. Soft drinks (only water) are not included, although it’s metioned. The guides really try to find the dolphins and do not lure them.

• Better ways to spend your day in Samui

  First of all, the tour experience is really good. The transport is very high quality and efficient and when you get to the operator HQ the setup is very good. The staff also are excellent, very kind and great with kids. We did the dolphin / pig island trip. The journey to see the dolphins was rough - about an hour there in total and these boats are fast. The water was choppy and the experience was very unpleasant for all, several people were sick. Again, not the operators fault but you should be aware of this before booking if you get travel / sea sick. When we got to the dolphin area we spotted a few, dipping in and out of the water. Unfortunately due to the design of the boats it was difficult to see (apart from an open section of the boat which was full). For the journey there and back (nearly two hours on rough/choppy waters) I don’t think I would do this again. We then did a snorkelling stop off which nobody seemed that bothered about and the water was too murky to really see anything. Then we arrived at pig island. My wife and daughter loved this but in reality it is an absolute tourist trap hell hole - it’s nice to see the pigs but the island is covered in pig muck and there isn’t really more than about 30 mins worth of pig watching to do. If I could do it again I would just opt for a private charter to pig island and back in a couple of hours. This was supposed to be a half day tour but we left at 8am and arrived back at the hotel after 3pm. Again, the staff, setup fantastic… but the tour was meh

  Sadly we never seen the Dolphins the ride was very choppy . We then to see the pigs it was lovely again didn't get to long on the island but it was lovely interacting with the pigs. Back on board and returned to have a lovely lunch which was included. The guys on the boat looked after you. Bottled water available

  Despite bad weather still enjoyed the beautiful trip. It took a while, but eventually I saw dolphins. And lots and lots of pigs!

  Had such a great time! I went as a solo traveller and found it easy enough to make friends. The pink dolphins didn't come out on the day I was there, which was fine. The pigs were super cute though! So many tiny little brand new piglets running around :)

• On the whole great experience but take some hand sanitiser

  It was easy to book and communication with company was very good. We were picked up promptly and taken to the boat. The boat seemed well maintained and the ride was great fun. Because it was so full it made it a little difficult to see the dolphins but we did manage to catch a glimpse of them. We saw lots of fish when we were snorkelling but there was quite a strong current and it took quite a bit of effort to return to the boat. Pig island was really nice with lots of friendly pigs to see but the toilets on the island were not very clean and there was only one sink with soap to wash your hands. Lunch was decent and there was plenty to eat. On the whole a very good trip.

• A brilliant day out

  A beautiful 30 minute boat trip to go to see the pink dolphins. Guide was very clear that viewing wasn't guaranteed but they definitely tried hard to find them. At the final stop to look for them we had success!!!! Then back to snorkeling. This was a little murky due to the wind but still enough to see. We then made a quick trip to pig island. The trip finished with a simple and delicious lunch. Our guide was super knowledgeable with a great sense of humour, which made the day even more enjoyable. Would totally recommend this day trip

  

  

• Charged additional ‘fees’ and Viator suck

  Absolute scam by Viatour and this tour company. Viatour claim all fees and charges paid for yet they made us pay cash for ‘entry fee’ at the dock. We were refused a receipt, and Viatour agent was incredibly rude and disrespectful when I queried this. I took very limited cash due the nature of the excursion and having to pay extra impacted our day. Viator couldn’t care less and was deliberately difficult and rude. Two stars only for the boat crew. We saw dolphins and the pigs were cute, but the snorkelling was a waste of time due to low tide, they should have another site for when it’s low tide, and the included ‘lunch’ was back at the dodgy restaurant who charge ld the extra fees at the end. I’d have bought lunch at Pig Island if I have thad to pay fees from the cash I took, all in all it was very disappointing. Better service and honesty with other booking providers, and I absolutely will never boo with Viatour again after their ‘customer service’ agents disgraceful attitude.

• Very worthwhile Especially for the dolphins and pigs:)

  Were a bit scared at first as the tour had only one rating, but don't let it deter the tour was great! At first we took the speedboat to different places to watch dolphins, actually saw some, which was super nice!! The organization really put in a lot of effort to make sure we see some. After that we were snorkeling, the place was unfortunately very crowded and the reef not super nice:/ however it is really great to get into snorkeling and you get a good feeling for it without fear of hurting corals or fish, as the area is quite extensive. Afterwards we went to Pig Island, which was also quite full but the pigs are really sweet and trusting and the guide showed us corners where small pigs lie and tried very hard and asked several times if everything would be good with us. After the experience we went back to the starting point and we got food. This was set up as a buffet and there was a vegetarian alternative, traditional food but also fries and nuggets for the children and picky eaters. During the whole tour there was also unlimited cold water, unfortunately you were traveling in a large group, but if that doesn't bother you the tour is really worthwhile! Would recommend the tour Especially if you want to see the dolphins and pigs, but for snorkeling I would choose something else.
