Review of Koh Samui’s Pig Island and Koh Tan speedboat tour, with snorkeling, lunch, practical tips, timing, costs, and honest drawbacks.

Review of Koh Tao’s $27 snorkeling tour, with Koh Nangyuan, four bays, lunch, wildlife, hotel pickup, and practical booking tips.
“Activity was amazing. We loved every stop, and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, sharks, starfish, loads of colorful fish and coral. The go pro was also an added bonus- we were impressed by all the photos/videos taken and shared with us day of. The only downfall we had were the snorkeling masks. Ours kept fogging up and we had to adjust constantly. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely book again!”

Review of Koh Samui’s Pig Island speedboat tour, with snorkeling, lunch, hotel pickup, costs, timing, and practical tips.
“Not a trip I would recommend. Pig island is disturbing. I watched pigs pee and poop all over a beach we were walking on and fighting for food and water they needed more of. I watched a runt with diarrhea, looking malnourished and most likelRead more”
Review of Koh Samui’s Pig Island sunset tour, with Koh Tan snorkeling, kayaking, Thai dinner, hotel pickup, price, and practical tips.
“The activity was good. Im just glad we only did one snorkel as it was disappointing for 2 reasons. Clarity was poor and current was strong in the area we went. There was no warning of this and so we were disappointed with the snorkelling. On top of this there were stingy jellyfish larvae in the water and we needed to be hosed down afterwards to prevent ongoing itching and welts. We found swimming from the beach at Koh Samui mostly the same but again werent warned there would be the same. It may have been a seasonal thing but the fact that they ad a hose ready to wash…”

Review of Koh Samui’s Angthong Marine Park speedboat tour, with snorkeling, kayaking, hikes, lunch, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“The location is stunning and the guide was happy, helpful, and really worked to make the day wonderful. Lunch was excellent. My only qualm was that the group was huge and the boat was overcrowded. There wasn’t room for everyone to sit under the canopy and if you weren’t I obnoxious and pushy, you were left with what remained for seats- in the full sun. It was incredibly hot and this was unpopular for many. I feel like if they had sold ten less tickets, the entire tour would have been much, much more comfortable for all.”
Review of Koh Tao’s premium Oxygen snorkel tour, with small groups, coral reefs, Koh Nangyuan, lunch, costs, and practical tips.
“Fantastic experience! The guys on the boat were very lively and welcoming, the food served was yummy and most of all; the activty itself was marvellous! We could snorkel at all the stops and I have seen the most beautiful sealife yet. We had enough time at all the stops too, so we could enjoy the water and the fish for an apprpriate time before other boats came. So overall I have no complaints at all, this activity is well-worth the time and money. :)”
