What To Expect

Ko Mat Sum
Koh Madsum is an island gem off the coast of Koh Samui. With an outstanding stretch of sand and fantastic clear water, making Koh Madsum popular among snorkelers, the island recently became famous for another reason. Rebranded to Pig Island, Koh Madsum welcomes daily visitors with a myriad of semi-wild pigs, who stroll around the island. Here, you can beach comb among piglets, snorkel, or kayak along the shore.

On a beautiful day to Pig Island

4.00Very was a very entertaining half day trip in very nice weather. Pig Island was great for swimming, kayaking and watching pigs. The food was delicious and enough to get full. While snorkeling we could see many fish and corals. Unfortunately there were no children's snorkeling equipment and we had to improvise something.
Pig island is beautiful the tour above average.

Fresh water for Pigs!!

4.00The 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.
Don’t go

1.00This 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.
Fun experience

4.00It 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.
Probably better during high tide

3.00Madsum 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.
Great fun, nice guides....

Day trip to Pig Island

4.00It 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.
Defaced island paradise

1.00The 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!!!
