Koh Samui - Pig Island Tour SIC
Overview
Location
The tour usually departs from Koh Samui (hotel/villa pickup), heading to a pier in the southern part of the island (often Thong Krut Pier), then by speedboat to Koh Madsum (Pig Island) and sometimes also Koh Tan (Koh Taen).
Description
Visit Koh Madsum, commonly called Pig Island, where friendly pigs roam freely on the beach and may swim. Combine with snorkelling at nearby reef waters (usually Koh Tan) for marine life viewing. Shared pickups & drop-offs are provided from hotels/villas on Koh Samui. There is a lunch break (often Thai style), beach time, swimming, relaxing, photo opportunities with the pigs.
