Dinner was very good, lots of options and plenty of food! The plankton was an unexpected highlight :)”

Guides such as Miriam, Sophia, and Sophie have been praised for their care and clear explanations. Expect scenic islands, shared boats, and busy beaches.

“Het was een geweldige activiteit.. Wel een aanrader om met de speedboot te gaan i.p.v. longtail boot! Schitterende stops en een uitstekende lunch box.. perfect geregeld als je zoals ons alles lust! Bovendien was onze gids Miriam een professionele en zeer goed Engels sprekende dame die met passie vertelde over alles wat we onderweg tegen kwamen. Trip had iets langer mogen duren maar dat was omdat de laatste stop het ultieme PARADIJS was en wij naar het geweldige uitzicht punt geklommen waren waardoor we iets minder tijd op het strand en in het water hadden.. Natuurlijk was het ook wel wat druk op sommige momenten maar het is nog steeds…”

The yacht was clean and despite a patch of monsoon weather (it is october afterall) which the staff kept us all safe and informed. Clear kayaking and paddle boarding was a nice touch. Snorkeling also went down a treat.”

Snorkel at Yawasam and Tang Ming, photograph Chicken Island, walk the Tup and Mor sandbar at low tide, eat a Thai buffet on Poda Island, and swim with glowing plankton at Koh Raeng. Guide Daisy may lead your group.

“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…”

“Unorganized company with bad tourguide. The guide who dod the excursion was a nightmare. He appeared stoned, was rude, loud, treated us like cattle. The comoany was 15 minutes late at the meeting spot, then let us sit in the hot sun for 15 more minutes, making us leave 10 minuted late. Then he was in a loud argument on his phone for a while, sitting in front of the longtailboat making all sorts of angry gestures. It was insane. The captain on the boat showed us different fish and sharks, he appeared to be more keen to do the tour. Ditch this company, threre are plenty others who offer…”

“Jätterolig aktivitet, dock hade vi otur med väder på våran tur. Vi såg massor med fiskar, korallrev och även en reaf shark!!!! Hade önskat mer snorkling om vi hade vädret med oss, guiden filmade och tog bilder under vattnet gratis också. Turen var på 5h, kortare än vi trott. Vi fick även se en annan sida av Poda Island, en gömd strand där vi bara var ca 3 båtar och den var så fin!! Jättenöjd”

Koh Tour takes you from Ao Nang to Yawasam and Talu islands in a group of up to 15. Expect coral snorkeling, a low-tide swim through Talu Cave, a beach lunch with halal and vegetarian choices, and a shaded longtail-boat ride back.

“This was a decent activity with good amount of time to snorkel, however I feel a bit confused as to where we actually snorkelled as talu island (which I picked this tour for) didn’t seem to be included nor did the swim through the cave to the lagoon. Also we informed the activity provider that we required vegetarian food for the lunch (it also states in the description this is provided) but were given meat and asked to eat just the rice part of the meal which was in the same container. Overall decent day out, but activity not as described. Guides were enthusiastic and keen to show you the…”
