Customer Reviews
A wonderful experience visiting Pig Island and to see so many pigs and piglets roamed freely on the island.
The seaview is fantastic and water is crystal clear around the island. Fun to snorkel among the coral reefs and to admire the marine life in the sea.
Happy day with some very happy pigs ☺️ staff on the island were super friendly and helpful too. The pigs and dogs on the island were all very playful and we loved being able to spend time with them. You can also buy them snacks from the restaurant, so you have an opportunity to feed them. They’re also super thirsty and you are given some bottles of water upon entry which you can share with them if you like. The beach is very beautiful and great for swimming. Would recommend this experience overall, we had a fantastic time 😊
