“A must do if you’re looking for a snorkelling trip!!! Compared to other snorkelling tours, this one is more intimate, not overpacked at all! We circled the island and saw so many fish, baby sharks and even 3 large turtles. The lunch buffet was so tasty with some refreshing fruit as a snack to keep you replenished and in the evening some lovely chicken bbq skewers. Our Guide was amazing, so fun and did everything to get amazing photos and videos for you to remember! Credit to the chef and captain also, we stumbled on some windier and wet weather at the end and they were amazing! I would 100%…”
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!!…”
