It was a great experience. The crew and the tour leader were very friendly. The itinerary was very comfortable and flexible and could be adjusted at any time. Chartering a boat to visit two islands in one day is just the right amount of time without being too tight. The boat was clean and large, perfect for the five of us to enjoy. I will charter a boat again if I have the chance. I highly recommend it!

Choosing Patong Sun Salutation as the last spa of Phuket trip, the whole Treatment was very comfortable and very satisfied! Totally comfortable to fall asleep! Highly recommended

The itinerary was arranged smoothly. The 18 zip lines were fun and exciting. I really wanted to play more. The ATV was a full hour long and would not be reduced by queuing. The path changed a lot, with highs and lows.

The zip line and atv activities are great. Friends had a great time, better than expected. The staff provided good service. The only minor issue was the unclear pick up time. I booked a 12:00 pick-up time, but the order did not show the actual pick-up time, and no one contacted us, so we always thought that there would be a car to pick us up at 12:00. But the driver arrived as early as 11:25 and kept urging us (we were not ready at the time), and there were other passengers in the car.

I think this is a great offer and good value for money. The trip to Racha island is not too lengthy which is great, the island itself is very beautiful with its blue water and white sand beach. Snorkeling experience was not the best because of the water transparency, but you could see some nice fish right from the beach (if you have your own mask and snorkel). There is “chill at the resort pool” in the itinerary which we didn’t get to experience, but in my opinion it was better to chill at the beach which we did. Tour guide had a very good English, so there were no issues with communication. Transfer was right on time - appreciated. Recommend this tour.

A good day @ 2 different islands. Waters were crystal clear and food was fine. Only hope that there would have been more time for snorkeling activity.
