Wonderful day from start to finish

5.00What an amazing day out — an absolute must‑do when visiting Koh Samui. Our guide, Ploenpis, was wonderful: warm, friendly, and genuinely happy to be there. She really made the whole experience special. She went out of her way to make sure everyone got great photos with the pigs on the island, even taking care of everyone’s belongings so we could just relax and enjoy ourselves. One of the best parts of this tour is the timing. You arrive at the island just before the big crowds show up, which makes the whole experience feel peaceful and personal. As we were leaving, that’s when the rush of people started arriving, so the early start was perfect. The snorkelling spot was beautiful, and we were lucky enough to see a stingray gliding along the seabed. Lunch was another pleasant surprise — we weren’t expecting much since they mentioned the island isn’t very busy, but it ended up being fantastic. Freshly cooked food, served as soon as we arrived, and a quiet, relaxing setting where it felt like we had the whole place to ourselves. I would highly recommend this trip. It was a genuinely wonderful day from start to finish.
Great day out!!

5.00Good value for price. Guide was funny and informative. Got to snorkel for an hour and lunch was pleasant. Tide was too far out to swim but could chill on a sunbed. Pick up on time tho we were a long time in bus as we were furthest out. Pigs were cute.
Lovely day on the sea

5.00All was great - well organized, our guide Par was really nice, the activities were so fun, the boat was fine, we were only 6 in our group, lunch was really tasty, all in all a great day. Great value for money. We spent an hour at pig island, followed by a 45 min snorkeling session and then we went to eat lunch and relax at koh Taen. There was the option to kayak free of charge which was also really enjoyable as the island has a shallow lagoon and mangroves. We really enjoyed our time, and we would recommend this trip.
Just excellent!

5.00We had a fabulous time on this full-day trip to Pig Island and Coral Island with TripGuru. We did some great snorkelling and had a lovely lunch at Ton Marina Bay. Our tour guide, Par, was fantastic — we were looked after so well all day. We booked a private tour and it was excellent from start to finish.

Pig/dog/chicken island! LOVED IT!

5.00Amazing! Absolutely loved Pig Island. Or Pig/Dog/chicken island. The longboat trip was great, the wind was a bit strong so after 10 minutes we, as a group decided not to continue snorkelling as underwater visibility was poor. So we had a diving competition off the boat! Our guide, Pek, was great, advising on how to get best from the tour. Lunch was lovely, the whole trip was just great!!!

5.00Island hopping around Koh Samui was one of the highlights of my trip. Coral Island was the perfect start, the crystal-clear water, soft sand, and plenty of time to relax and snorkel. Then came Pig Island, which was as fun and quirky as it sounds! Watching the pigs roam freely on the beach was such a unique experience. The boat ride, the tropical vibes, and the mix of adventure and chill time made it an unforgettable day. It felt like paradise, with a little splash of surprise.
