Everything was great. The people really took care of us from entering to the boat till out. Their safety was topnotch. Food consists of varieties but was nt that awesome. They took pictures of us and move to places when there was not much fishes in that area. We totally enjoyed it. Thumbs up to staff and all for accomodating to all our needs.

If you just want to visit the island by yourself, this boat ticket is very worthwhile. Go to the meeting point and find the yellow hut of Klook. The counter can speak Chinese and answer us kindly. Then, we will be handed over to the staff of the shipping company. They will guide you all the way to get on and off the boat, pay the landing fee, introduce the facilities on the island, and pick you up at the departure point at the agreed time.

Snorkeling activities worth participating in, the speedboat runs very steadily already worthy of praise, the instructor will teach once before going into the water to use the equipment, during the snorkeling there are special creatures will try to ask us to see, the lunch environment is acceptable, but a little greasy. The third snorkeling was approaching an early end due to rain, but it would also start early because of this, which is commendable

the pick up was punctual, and they’d remind you a day before. the staff were friendly too. they’d give you a safety briefing and you’re set to go. the sea was really nice to kayak overseeing mountains! wind were kinda strong but that’s not an issue. my only setback was this programme is called sunrise so I was quite confused because we’re not at a location where we can see the sun rise and it’s not the east.

It was so fun 😄 the staff were very friendly and nice. Sunset was very pretty as well. Although we were the only kayak while other tourist did paddle boarding, it was overall a very good experience.
