Review of Krabi’s 4-Island Sunset Cruise, with snorkeling, Thai buffet, paddleboards, sunset views, and a glowing plankton swim.
“My daughter and I had a wonderful day on the boat. From the start, we felt well taken care of by native English-speakers, which made everything clear and easy to follow - something I had struggled with on other activities. We were taken by longboat from Ao Nang to a bigger boat, and that’s where the adventure began. It was our first time snorkeling and we were amazed by the colorful fish. Michael provides high-quality equipment, explains everything clearly, and the team keeps a close eye on everyone, offering help immediately if needed. There were also paddle boards - learning to stand up was a challenge my daughter happily accepted…”

Review of Krabi’s private Hong Islands and Four Islands tour, with lunch, sunset at Railay, optional bioluminescent night snorkeling, and hotel pickup.
“We went on a cold, rainy day and were still having a great time - beautiful views at each island and our guide was super friendly and we never felt rushed. We got to do some snorkeling at Koh Lao La Ding because we were at low tide and saw beautiful coral and lots of fish! Unfortunately my husband hurt his foot (his own fault) so we had to cut our trip short and missed the night snorkel, but our guide and the tour operator took us to the hospital and handled everything for us - communicating with hospital staff and the trip insurance covered everything. Above and beyond service!!…”
Review of Krabi’s 7-island longtail boat tour, with snorkeling, beach barbecue, sunset, hotel transfers, and glowing plankton after dark.
“The whole day was fantastic! We had an awesome and attentive guide, made sure we knew exactly what was happening at all times. The views were beautiful! Snorkelling was great, even if visibility wasn’t great due to currents. The plankton were so cool to see! Not what we were expecting but truly an experience to have at least once in your life! Like swimming in stars. Thank you!”

“La mejor experiencia de mi vida la actividades bien planeadas”
Review of Krabi’s private Hong Island tour, with snorkeling, lagoon views, a 419-step viewpoint, and long-tail boat travel.
“Transfer was very slow there and back took an hour each way for a 10 minute route due to waiting for transport to arrive and then waiting for other guest at hotel. Private boat and captain once on was great, loved it, Glad we booked it.”
Review of Krabi’s $40 seven-island sunset tour, with snorkeling, Poda Island dinner, Chicken Island views, and bioluminescent night swimming.
“Plus points for this activity are the free transfer to and from your accommodation and the sunset on the beach. We feel that this is where the positives end. We found that the guide was not engaging and difficult to follow; there were no safety instructions given before the snorkelling and very little information was given about what you were seeing. One of the guides encouraged us to remove our life jackets while on board the boat. This was reflective of a poor approach to safety throughout. The food was very disappointing. It was cold, bland and unpleasant to eat. On a personal note, I would like to thank the…”
Review of Krabi’s Hong Island sunset tour, with beaches, 360-degree views, buffet dinner, lagoon cruise, and night snorkeling.
“DO NOT BOOK THIS TRIP. USE ANOTHER COMPANY. They got us to the viewpoint at 5.30pm when the viewpoint closed at 4.30pm. So we were denied access to the viewpoint and still had to pay the 300 baht fee. We also paid for kayaking and there was no kayaking. The tour guide could not speak English. They also took food off our plate because they didn’t have enough. They were driving the boat recklessly on the way home and we almost capsized us. There is a reason they don’t have many reviews. Stay away from this company.”

“Thank you so much to the organizers for a wonderful day. The excursion was rich and full of experiences, yet not tiring, as there was enough time to truly enjoy the beauty of each place. All the islands are incredibly beautiful. On Hong Island, make sure to climb up to the viewpoint — the view from there is absolutely breathtaking.”
