Koh Madsum, better known as Pig Island, is a small island off the south of Koh Samui where a family of pigs lives on the beach and wanders into the shallow water. The boat stops first at Koh Tan to snorkel, then at Pig Island for swimming, photos and the pigs. The longer island day starts on land: the Heaven Gate viewpoint, lunch at The Roof Samui and I Love Elephant Samui, then the same boat trip to Koh Tan and Pig Island. Below: what the price covers, who it suits and how it compares with the other ways to do it.
