Reviews of Kohtour across destinations and activities, not ratings for an individual tour.
Koh Tan, also written Koh Taen, is the neighbouring island where Pig Island boat tours usually stop for reef snorkelling. Koh Madsum supplies the beach and pigs; Koh Tan supplies the usual in-water activity. A reef stop does not automatically include going ashore on Koh Tan, and the captain chooses the suitable location.
The boat stops at a suitable reef location and the crew briefs passengers before providing the listed mask, snorkel and life jacket. Follow the assigned water boundary and return instructions; visibility, currents and boat traffic determine where the stop can happen, so a named island does not fix the exact swimming site.
| Destination | Typical role | Do not assume |
|---|---|---|
| Koh Madsum | Beach and pigs | Pigs will enter the water |
| Koh Tan reef | Boat-based snorkelling | A landing or fixed visibility |
| Jet ski itinerary | Guided ride with island stop | Identical snorkelling to boat tours |
Tell the team before booking if you prefer to stay dry or cannot swim, and confirm that remaining aboard suits the assigned vessel and itinerary. A guided boat trip can still provide the island crossing and Pig Island beach stop; entering the water is not the only way to take part in the day.
No. The boat listings pair Koh Madsum with Koh Tan, but their order, facilities and time allocation differ, while the jet ski safari is primarily a guided ride. Choose from the actual programme if snorkelling is your priority, and do not interpret listed equipment as a promise of the same reef session on every product.

Yes. These are English spellings used for the neighbouring island and reef area on Pig Island itineraries.
A snorkelling stop near Koh Tan is not a promise of a shore landing. Check the selected itinerary if time on the island itself is important.
Fish and coral may be visible, but species, sightings and water clarity cannot be guaranteed. Keep clear of the reef and follow the crew’s directions.
