Great fun, nice guides.... - Great fun, nice guides. Snorkeling was not great because of lack of visibility but Pig Island was fine. So cute!

Fresh water for Pigs!! - The tour it self was great. There were very kind & Friendly staffs with safe and clean boat. The schedule was on time. I had a good time in this island. However, I was disappointed with the conditions the pigs lived in. The pigs cannot reach fresh water at all. They have to beg a bottle of water to tourist but not enough. Their working conditions are harsh I hope the tour company does something about it because they make money from pigs. Ask donation, or using just a few % of money to pig for fresh water will be the appreciated. I hope you agree with this idea and spread in here.

Fun experience - It was a nice experience. On the island you can go to a viewpoint and you can kayak for free. The food is just not that good we found (we had one vegetarian meal and one meal with chicken). Furthermore, the piggies were very cute and there were really babies around us a few weeks old. With us the taxi was more than half an hour late with pick up, but that turned out to be no problem afterwards because we easily managed in terms of time.

Day trip to Pig Island - It was a great trip, friendly tour guide, great lunch. Lovely island and great to see the pigs. Pick up and drop off all good. Only comment is that tour description says 2 hours at Koh Tao snorkelling, this was 45 mins snorkelling off the boat near the island. Also said 4 hours on Pig island but was only 3 hours Overall enjoyed the experience and good value but would have been good to have a bit longer on the island.

Probably better during high tide - Madsum Island (pig island) was fun but essentially just pigs on an island! The snorkelling was disappointing. I was not aware that water levels are about 1 -2 metres lower at this time of year (August) and so swimming over the coral was not really possible. It is also getting bleached by warming waters and some people were damaging it by kicking and standing on it - I do not think this is a responsible way to run a tour and all visitors should be told not to touch the coral. Lunch was great but again the kayaking was not possible due to the really low water level. Maybe the trip would be better during high tide. Our guide was very enthusiastic however and took lots of photos which he sent on to us which was great.

Don’t go - This was a very bad experience. The driver collected us in a van which stank of cigarettes and drove way over the speed limit in order to get us to the boats where we had a 45 minute wait before departure. The boat was packed. we arrived at the snorkelling spot at the same time as all the other boats. Probably 150 people in total. snorkelling was impossible because the current was so strong that we were getting blown away from the boats. The boat guys had to throw ropes out to get us back in safely. One man cut his leg on the propeller the water was so choppy. Then we went to pig Island, which was fun. The boat crew were great, it wasn’t their fault. They obviously go wherever the boss tells them to. Very unsafe trip and definitely not recommended with children.

Defaced island paradise - The beautiful, quiet island has obviously been completely sprawled for anyone who still knew it as Koh Mat Sum and turned into a profit center. Calm-down misreading...a coming and going without end! We used to visit the island for fishing and snorkeling to grill our catch. Wouldn't be possible today. Hundreds of tourists there at the same time, everything organized and timed!🤪🤨🙈. Really not recommended anymore!!!

Void for the organization - Very poor communication with the provider who tells us absolutely nothing about the departure time of the hotel so result he calls you to tell you. I am there 😃 but without info not before and waiting for the driver 3 minutes and without going. The only solution offered is to meet yourself at the pier within 20 minutes knowing that it is 30 minutes drive. Results no excursion, no refund, no reprogramming and not even a message. If we could put 0 we would have caught tourists
