Wonderful experience - Excellent experience, easy and timely pickup and very smooth. You do get quite wet, and getting on and off the boat requires a bit of mobility.
Guides lovely, and a great day

Easy Snorkelling & cute pigs - Well organised trip with as much time as we wanted for snorkelling & visiting the pigs. Beautiful fish & reef. Pigs were really cute & island was beautiful place to swim & stretch our legs.

A great trip if you’re prepared for it. - For this trip we chose the private long boat option for a flavour of tradition as compared to a speed boat. Be warned though that getting in and out involves an unstable ladder and you may get wet.
We love boat trips and this was great. My husband snorkelled at the first stop and was able to take some good fish and coral photos. I don’t swim so stayed in the boat relaxing.
The second stop was Pig Island and believe it or not this is an island with pigs living on it. A decent beach with clear water to swim in, so my husband tells me, though not as much to see from a snorkelling point of view.
There is a 50 baht per person fee to visit the island in return for which you get a bottle of water. Other food and drink has to be paid for. Water was also available on the boat.
We spent two hours on pig island before returning to our waiting transport back to our hotel.

The captain of the boat was friendly but quiet. Which was fine by us. Not a big snorkeler but loved loved loved pig island. Glad we took a private long tail boat over.

Awesome - Fantastic private long tail boat trip. The snorkelling site was more than I expected with many colourful fish including a parrot fish. Pig island is very entertaining, you are able to purchase pellets to feed the many pigs all shapes and sizes also there are dogs too and again you can buy pedigree treats for them. You get given a bottle of water in arrival when you finished it don't throw the empty bottle away just yet as there are taps outside the toilets where you can refill them (not water for human consumption) and the pigs and dogs eagerly drink from your hand held bottle.
Our captain on the boat was very attentive and knowledgeable the whole booking procedure was excellent and on time I would definitely recommend booking with these

Pig Island - let the poor pigs live in peace - The snorkeling didn’t meet our expectations - yes, it was a private tour for two, but the snorkeling site was really full of “private boats” - regardless of the poor visibility the underwater world was very poor - even if I see the boaters dropping their anchors on the few corals ....
Well, and Pig Island to me is Nepp -

Poor experience to pig island - We were not prewarned that the sea was rough on the day and we would get thoroughly wet in this long boat trip to the island, also had to keep moving on the boat to rebalance the boat, no help getting on or off the boat for less able people, so all in all a very poor experience for older people, may be ok for youngsters The island was scenic especially seeing the black pigs roaming around the visitors but could not swim as the sea was rough, so nothing to do or see we just hung around for 3 hrs to catch the return rough trip back
