Private Full-Day Customizable City Tour

The driver was punctual, and the car was clean. The snorkeling sites were great - -coral reefs were very beautiful. And my snorkeling guide made an underwater video clip for me.

The tour was organized well. We were picked up on time by Noor and his team. We were the only two participants, so everything was really customized to our needs and wishes. After the long drive to the port, we started our travel to the Islands. Noor made us feel very comfortable in the water as both of us were doing snorkeling for the first time. He even took my wife with her hands when she was scared to go into feel water. The corals and the fishes we saw were otherworldly. It was like swimming in an aquarium. I can highly recommend this tour and Noor as the guide is the best.

So the first thing you need to consider is how far is the transfer from your accommodation to the departure point. This is not made clear anywhere. It took 2 hours to get there and 2 back. Not great. Once there, the private boat transfer is good, quaint traditional craft, this only took 20 minutes to the first island, and the guide team all excellent. Spent around 40 minutes at the first site. Very enjoyable. Then to the second, short hop and spent 15 minutes in the water until we found the turtle! This was a highlight, but it was almost as if ‘now you’ve seen it, let’s move on to the next island. Spent 30 minutes at the second site only. At the third, only 10 minutes in the water until the guide team ‘rested’ and had some lunch (which we skipped), so we waited for them to finish. We had moored up on the beach, no coral or fish for us to view whilst the crew had their lunch. We were advised that the next couple of hours was ‘free time’ to ‘relax’. I think this translates to, we can take you to some other place/stop to fill the time so that you can buy stuff and spend your money. I don’t mind this, it’s a poor country, but when you think that we only had 1hr 20 mins of snorkel time and 5 hours journey time (including boat transfers), I guess this made me disappointed overall. On a positive note, we did receive an excellent, edited video to music of the trip which serves as a lasting memory for us.

snorkeling is fine coral is ok and the guide and all organization was perfect strongly suggested
