This was a very nice tour. The guides met us at the pier and were very friendly. swimming through the cave was lots of fun.

Overall very satisfied with the tour. If you’re expecting a tour to stick perfectly to the itinerary, you are in the wrong country. But we had enough time at each spot to really enjoy it, and the beach where we eat lunch and relaxed was absolutely perfect. We even saw a beautiful hornbill. The 80m swim through the cave was less scary than expected, but I’d recommend making sure you stay close enough to the guide to see the light from their headlamp. It gets very busy in there and there are several groups coming and going at once. Still, if you adjust your expectations, it’s great value for money and the places you’ll see are stunning! Note: If you are vegan/vegetarian I highly recommend eating a big breakfast and bringing a snack, as the veg option was white rice and cabbage.

Great tour, the focus is on snorkeling, which is what I wanted. We stopped at 3 snorkeling sites (2 on Ko Rok and 1 short stop near Ko Haa). The water was cristal clear and full of sea life. Snorkeling was also possible on the beach on Ko Rok where we stopped for lunch. The masks provided were good quality and they had soap on board to prevent fogging. Soft drinks and water were available on board. The tour is vegan/vegetarian-friendly and dietary needs were checked before departure. The lunch was too early for me (around noon) so I skipped it, but I believe the veg* option included rice & veg. Fruit was also provided. Unlike boat tours from Krabi, none of the places we visited were crowded and the boat wasn't crammed full, either. We had very rough sea throughout the tour but the boat captain was competent. The boat left Lanta probably around 10am and returned to port at 3pm. NOTE: This is not the 4 islands tour, you'll visit 2 different islands. I don't recommend this tour if you don't want to snorkel, the tour doesn't visit any particularly insta worthy beaches. I recommend wearing long sleeved shirt when snorkeling because you'll burn otherwise (even when it's cloudy).

It's a worthwhile experience at a reasonable price. Good service, hotel shuttle, long-tail boat is ok. Coral is not so beautiful because of global warming. Emerald cave is exciting but tiring to swim. See only foreign tourists.

We booked this tour because we were afraid that the 4 islands tour would be too crowded. For us, this tour was perfect because the snorkeling spots were not overcrowded. We saw lots of beautiful fish. Didi, our guide, explained everything to us very well. The only thing that could be improved is the lunch. The buffet includes planked rice, Massaman curry with chicken, raw vegetables, chicken wings and fruit. Vegetarians would definitely have a hard time here. Other providers on Koh Rok have put together a much better lunch.

Great snorkelling tour where you can see a lot of different types of tropical fish, starfish and coral in very clear waters. We had a nice lunch and refreshments (water and fruit) are provided throughout the day.
