The experience
The boat leaves from your hotel or a meeting point on Koh Samui and motors across calm water to Pig Island (Koh Madsum), a white sand beach where a family of wild boars lives. They swam here from Koh Tan and now roam the island freely. You can feed them, take pictures and play with them while the boat waits for you: up to four hours total, including travel time. The water is clear and shallow enough to swim, and there's shade under the trees if you want to rest.
The longtail boat is traditional Thai wooden design, open-sided and built for small groups. It holds a maximum of eight people, so the trip stays intimate. The ride itself takes about 15–20 minutes each way. If you want more than just the beach and the pigs, you can ask to visit Koh Tan, a second island nearby with snorkeling, trekking and wildlife like monitor lizards and rare birds. There's a bar on Pig Island where you can order drinks and food if you get hungry.
Hotel pickup and drop-off are available depending on which option you book at checkout. You get a life jacket and snorkeling mask, drinking water, and accident insurance. The trip works for families with children and for anyone who wants a half-day on the water without a big group.

Top questions
What happens if it rains?
It may be canceled due to bad weather. If that happens, you're offered another date or a refund. Free cancellation up to 24 h before the start.
Can I feed the pigs on Pig Island, or do I just watch them?
You can feed the pigs, take pictures with them and play with them. They roam freely on the beach, so you'll have direct contact with them during your time on the island.
How long does the boat ride take from Koh Samui to Pig Island?
The longtail boat takes about 15–20 minutes each way from Koh Samui. The total time on the water and at the island is up to four hours, depending on how long you want to stay.
Is snorkeling included, or do I need to book Koh Tan separately?
Snorkeling is not a fixed part of the itinerary, but you can ask to visit Koh Tan, the nearby island, where snorkeling is available. You get a snorkeling mask with the tour, so if you go to Koh Tan you're ready to use it.
What's the difference between the meeting point and hotel transfer options?
The hotel transfer option picks you up and drops you off at your accommodation on Koh Samui. The meeting point option means you make your own way to the departure location. Both options are available for groups of 1–5 people or 6–10 people.
Is the boat suitable for children?
Yes, the tour is designed for families with children. The longtail boat holds up to eight people, the ride is short and calm, and the beach on Pig Island is safe for swimming and playing with the pigs. Life jackets are provided.
