Itinerary
Arrive at Tean Island for the best coral reef in the area, where you are snorkeling. Ko Taen is an island, approximately 15 kilometers off the mainland and five kilometers south of Ko Samui in the Gulf of Thailand. It is part of the Samui archipelago, which includes about 60 other islands.
Koh Madsum is an island gem off the coast of Koh Samui. With an outstanding stretch of sand and fantastic clear water, making Koh Madsum popular among snorkelers, the island recently became famous for another reason. Rebranded to Pig Island, Koh Madsum welcomes daily visitors with a myriad of semi-wild pigs, who stroll around the island. Here, you can beach comb among piglets, snorkel, or kayak along the shore.

Traveler reviews
Good day out on the ocean
Great day out on the bay, snorkelling at the reef and then swimming and having a cold beer on Pig Island. Picked up from our hotel in a bus already occupied by some very nice tourists, dropped off at the wharf and waited for another bus load, on the speedboat was very fast, complimentary soft drinks and water provided, or beer for a fee. Stopped for an hour or so on the reef for a snorkelling adventure, sadly the reef was badly trampled by people who have no brains. There was some sea life such as stingrays, colourful fish and turtles. Onto Pig Island which was very crowded and very hot, but plenty of shade was available. Lots of pigs ambling about for our entertainment, and lots of dogs also. Enjoyed the facilities and water, and a quiet cold beer and after 90 minutes ferried back to the wharf for a very nice and generous buffet luncheon before being transported back to out hotel mid-afternoon. A great day provided by professional and experience crews.
Brilliant trip, whole family enjoyed it. Snorkeling, pig Island and a delicious lunch to end the trip. Staff were very friendly

Fun thing to do
What a fun quick trip out to see the pigs. You can tell they try to take care of the pigs responsibly. The boat was comfy and the captain was good
On a beautiful day to Pig Island
Very was a very entertaining half day trip in very nice weather. Pig Island was great for swimming, kayaking and watching pigs. The food was delicious and enough to get full. While snorkeling we could see many fish and corals. Unfortunately there were no children's snorkeling equipment and we had to improvise something.
Pig island is beautiful the tour above average.
It was okay, nice day out, unfortunately was not any fish on the snorkelling site and mis understanding the guide english language.
