my husband and I really loved our tour! our guide James (006) was amazing and even gave us a dance at the end 🤣🤣 although the waters were choppy, the staff handled it well and we got to do everything we possibly could have. Great value for our money!

Everything was great, we were picked up from the hotel after the tour and taken back to the hotel. All the islands were beautiful and interesting, I especially enjoyed the kayaking experience. A big request, please tip the guys on the kayaks, when we gave 100 baht to our wonderful kayak guide he was very touched as almost no one does this.

This was an amazing experience with kind and supportive tour guides. I love that they gave us enough time at each stop to explore and take pictures. They were organized l, very careful and had good safety measures in place. I highly recommend this group for your tour.

The trip was well organized by Klook with local partner BJ Cannoeing Company. The first stop was canoeing, luckily we did this because of the tide and we were able to canoe inside the cave.

The entire tour is very well taken care of, so as long as you can keep to the meeting time at each point, there is no problem. Coffee and other drinks are provided at the tour meeting point, so you can use them while waiting for the departure. Lunch is a bento box. The only drink provided during the tour is bottled water.

A really great activity for family. The only thing I would have wanted was more opportunity to snorkel in open waters, instead of a lagoon or at the beach. Simple lunch but lots of opportunity to play at the beach and relax. All in all, a great day.
