Phuket Cruises

Let's start with the conclusion: out of a total of 100 points, our tour guide Afeng was fantastic. Considering the tour guide, route, scenery, and price, I would give it a 90. If you haven't done any other island-hopping trips, this is a great introductory experience! If you've been to better island-hopping destinations, it might seem a bit underwhelming. However, this comparison isn't a flaw in the route itself, as the travel costs and convenience levels are different. 1️⃣ Route Planning: Overall great. Hotel pickup at 8:00 AM, departure at 9:50 AM, landing on Coral Island, returning to the boat for lunch, landing on Racha Island, returning to the boat for snorkeling, passing by Honeymoon Island for snorkeling, then hand-line fishing, heading back and finishing at 6:20 PM, and getting dropped off at the hotel around 8:00 PM. It's a standard island-hopping itinerary. The schedule is packed, and ending with hand-line fishing brought a lot of unexpected surprises. 2️⃣ Tour Guide and Crew: Absolutely awesome! Tour guide Afeng was phenomenal! He spoke Chinese, was extremely friendly, introduced local customs and culture, and recommended local specialties. There was no forced consumption or any pushy behavior whatsoever. The crew members were also very enthusiastic and friendly, proactively helping take photos and keeping the vibe lively. I personally felt completely fine with the tipping part at the end and felt that the tips were well-deserved and gladly given. There was lunch on board, free water and sodas, and snorkeling equipment with disposable mouthpieces and towels were provided before departure. A minor drawback was that the music played on the boat was a bit cheesy; the playlist could use an update. 3️⃣ Scenery Along the Way: Coral Island is very ordinary; it's recommended to do some activities there. Racha Island has much nicer scenery with very blue water, which makes for great photos. The bow and the second deck of the boat are also great for photos. As for snorkeling, the underwater scenery is relatively average and just for fun, focusing more on the experience itself.

OMG this was amazing! We had the best day on this tour! Transfers to and from the hotel in very comfortable transport. From start to finish we could not have had better hospitality from our guides! We were very safe in their hands and the guides were so friendly and welcoming, helpful and informative. The guides ensured we were well looked after and we were offered drinks and snacks all day with a fantastic buffet lunch at the end of our boat cruise. The boat felt very comfortable and well maintained, staff were very aware of remaining safe. The sites were indescribable and we had lots of time to explore, take pictures and swim. I snorkeled for the first time ever and the guide was so patiently teaching me how and ensuring I felt comfortable. Such a great experience that I will do again next visit to Phuket and would highly recommend.
