Pig Island Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Escape the busy beaches of Koh Samui on a relaxed half-day trip to Koh Tan and Pig Island (Koh Madsum). After hotel pickup, travel to the quieter south of the island, where a shorter land transfer is rewarded with a quick and smooth speedboat ride across calm, shallow waters—ideal for those who prefer to avoid long boat journeys.
At Koh Tan, enjoy a light snorkeling stop in shallow reef areas. Conditions and visibility may vary depending on weather, but the stop offers a pleasant chance to swim, float, or simply relax. The experience is designed to be easy-going rather than focused on intensive snorkeling.
Continue to Pig Island, where you can unwind on the beach, take photos, and meet the island’s famous pigs.
With a total duration of around 5 hours including transfers, this tour is perfect for travelers seeking a short, scenic, and fun island escape.

5.00Excellent trip! Picked up from hotel on time, short ride to the beach where we got on a lovely clean speedboat, plenty of bottled water throughout the day available! First stop snorkelling and saw amazing corals and fish, then on to next stop for lunch and chill on the beach. Finally off to pig island where we stayed for over an hour to see, touch, feed the pigs, even the babies! Nice to relax and have a drink there before heading back! Highly recommend and Joe was very helpful and entertaining! Thank you!
Nice half day

4.00My 6yr old daughter was happy with the trip, so am I. But for myself, it might have been a bit disappointing. Pig Island is in my View not really worth it, it’s dirty and the pigs pee and poo everywhere. Was happy when we left again. The snorkel stop was more a short swim in the sea, as there was nothing to see below surface. Koh Tan was the best in my view. After lunch, we used the buoys which my little one used as very nice swing. The beach with its palm trees gives a lot of nice Instagram shots if you look for those.
FUN DAY! :D

5.00Joe (not joe biden) and his team made our day super special, we seen pig island, went snorkelling (with lots of colourful fish) and had a beautiful lunch at Koh Tan. Ive never enjoyed a half day tour so much! The tour was a half day yet, full and still so relaxed! Would 100% recommend. Everyone is so kind as well :)
Great tour, great guide
