Pig Island & Koh Tan Island Hopping

Base location: Koh Samui

Pig Island & Koh Tan Island Hopping — photo 1

A shorter island trip from the south coast to Koh Madsum, where pigs walk along the beach, and to Koh Tan, a quiet island with shallow reefs for snorkelling. Most trips use a longtail or speedboat and include time to swim, snorkel and relax on the sand. Because these islands are sheltered, this trip often still runs when the sea on other routes is too rough. It works well for families and for people who do not want a full day on a boat.

Questions & answers

Are the pigs safe around children?

The pigs are used to visitors, but they are animals. Children should stay with an adult, and it is better not to hold food in your hands.

Is there shade on the islands?

There is some shade under trees, but bring sun protection and a hat.

Can this be private for our family?

Yes, a private longtail or speedboat is a common choice. Tell us your group size in the request.
