We got up early at 5:00 AM for island hopping because we didn't want to miss the boat. It's been great so far! We booked a shared tour on Klook for the first time, and the people, food, and tour guide are all amazing. It's a perfect 10/10! We had a really fun day and got home at 4:00 PM. They even took drone videos and pictures for us!❤️

The experience is worth the money! We were picked up early and left the port early, too. The time spent in every island was enough to swim and take pictures. We were lucky enough to swim at the secret island also because it was low tide. Good thing the tour guide knew how to budget the time because some tourists were not able to swim in the secret garden because it was already high tide.

Worth the money, indeed! The tour guide, ate Rodela was very friendly, kind and informative. I was a solo traveller but she made sure I was having fun and volunteered to take some pictures of me.

The natural beauty of Sohoton is unmatched—peaceful lagoons, clear waters, and the jellyfish sanctuary were unforgettable. The tour itself was enjoyable and the guides were kind. That said, the pickup could’ve been smoother—our driver had a hard time finding our hotel and communication was a bit tricky. Still, once we got to the islands, the experience made up for it. Hoping for better coordination next time!
