Amazing day out

Published on Nov, 2024

Great day out! Picked up from our hotel and brought to the royal marina where we had a very small breakfast and safety briefing. From there onto the boat and off we went on our journey! So beautiful and the guides were all so friendly and helpful

A great time with Mr Boi

Published on Dec, 2023

Mr Boi was a energetic and enthusiastic guide. The tour was fun and despite the quick stops they felt like an appropriate amount of time. Snorkeling water was a little rough but well worth it.

Thailand in Monsoon Season Gets You Wet & a Rocky Boat

Published on Aug, 2023

The trip was relaxing, and I bet a better experience in calmer/sunny days. Merci was an excellent tour guide, and the crew was always kind and attentive to people. This however is for their information, to be better. During my trip, we crossed the ocean in a storm, and as anyone would expect, it was extremely rough. Which is expected in my head, for Monsoon season. However a lot of people on the trip, seemed to have never been on a boat or expected this. So people were afraid for their lives, throwing up, yelling for more information, crying, etc... It was chaos at certain points. From my experience on rough seas, we were never in any danger, and the crew/captain performed perfectly. However these clients needed frequent updates and assurances they were safe, and all was ok. This communication would have calmed a lot of uneasiness about the situation, and would have been a flawless trip, except for the weather, which is completely out of the control of this company/guide/crew. Otherwise, some parts of the trip was excludes due to weather or closure. It is a worthwhile trip to take, with this company, if you are in the market...

Neat Day of lots to see

Published on Jun, 2023

Pretty nice day with lots to see. I was worried about the boat ride, but it ended up being fine, nobody got sick. The islands were beautiful and you get a lot of pictures. The canoe rides were awesome - a guide goes with you on a pre-determined course, but it was fantastic.

Excellent experience

Published on Apr, 2023

Very well organised trip. Mr Boy was very informative letting us know what was happening when. Plenty of stops and time to enjoy each one. Maya beach felt overcrowded and chaotic to get off the boat and then around the waiting area to get back on but this is not the fault of the company just the island is very busy after reopening again after covid.
