Reviews of Kohtour across destinations and activities, not ratings for an individual tour.
Snorkelling on a Pig Island boat tour usually takes place near Koh Tan, while the pigs and beach visit are on Koh Madsum. The listed boat tours provide masks, snorkels and life jackets, but equipment alone does not establish suitability for non-swimmers; discuss support needs before booking and follow the crew’s briefing.
The boat listings include a mask, snorkel and life jacket for the reef stop, while any special fit or additional equipment needs a separate check. Bring your own well-fitting mask if preferred, and tell the crew about a loose fit before entering; the life jacket supports flotation but does not replace supervision.
| Before entering | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Listen to the briefing | Water boundary and return signal |
| Check mask and flotation fit | Loose equipment affects comfort and control |
| Disclose swimming limitations | Support differs by boat |
| Identify boarding method | Getting back aboard is part of participation |
| Keep off coral | Protect the reef and avoid contact |
A beginner should explain their swimming confidence before booking so the operator can confirm the available supervision and alternatives for that boat. Remaining aboard may suit a guest who wants the beach day without snorkelling; do not assume a life jacket makes every current, entry point or water activity appropriate.
Koh Tan visibility changes with weather and water conditions, and a sunny sky does not guarantee a clear reef. The captain may adjust the stop because of current, waves or traffic; stay within the assigned area, avoid touching or standing on coral, and never feed or handle the marine life.

The usual reef stop is at Koh Tan. Pigs on Koh Madsum may stay on the beach, and a swimming encounter with them is not guaranteed.
No. Discuss remaining aboard or returning early with the crew and follow their boarding instructions. Tell the team about support needs before booking.
No. It is a different programme centred on guided riding. Check the itinerary rather than assuming listed snorkelling equipment means the same reef stop as the boat tours.
