Ko Poda snorkeling

Since I don't speak English, I went to the waiting area 5 minutes early. But the car was 15 minutes late. While I was worried whether I did something wrong or if the car would even come, a songthaew truck came. After getting on the truck, I paid the national park entrance fee of 200 baht and received a sticker and goggles. I went back to the port and got on a long-tail boat that I wanted to ride once. There were only two Koreans and the other 18 were foreigners from various countries. If you speak English for a long time, it's complicated and messy, and when everyone else laughs, we laugh along and do the tour. When snorkeling, there were a lot of fish and there was plenty of time, so it was really great. It was also nice to have dinner while watching the sunset at Railay Beach, and the Lumient swimming was short, about 10 minutes, but it was so amazing and new to see only the fireflies twinkling under the completely black sea and sky, and I will never forget today. Of course, our boat captain was also very grateful and nice. I praise Mariam Tour.

it was an amazing experience with a well guided tour organised by the sunset cruise team especially Michael. He ensured everyone gets the best experience by encouraging participation with the help of his team, espeically me who did not know swimming and yet was helped to go snorkeling with his team guiding me (would have missed the mist beautiful sights). A must try if u looking for a calming and yet enjoyable cruise.

Our guide (didn't catch his name, nice and friendly guy) was a lil late to pick us up. Pick up was from the hotel lobby. We went to the pier on a tuk tuk and immediately boarded the longtail boat. Went to our snorkeling site near Ko Poda and then to another site near the chicken island. Weather was gloomy, hence was not able to see deep. Marine life was limited to some smaller fishes and small corals. Waves were a lil rough when it started drizzling. Beached on Ko Poda for box lunch. Guide promised to help with photo but wasn't around when he was needed. It started raining hard after lunch and the trip had to be cancelled. Other parts of the trip like snorkeling through a cave cannot be done during rainy seasons (Aug-Dec, this probably need to be highlighted to avoid disappointment). Photos from the guides's goPro took 1 week to be shared which was a lil long. Overall, not too value for money due to these circumstance but gave a 4 🌟 as it was not totally their fault.

We really enjoyed our Pattaya Island day trip! It was an affordable getaway with beautiful views and fun activities. The parasailing, although a bit short, was absolutely spectacular — definitely a highlight of the day. Things felt a bit disorganized at first, and the language barrier made communication a bit tricky, but everything came together in the end. Overall, a great experience that we’d recommend!

This was our first-ever scuba diving experience, and we were both excited and nervous. From the moment we arrived, everything felt well-organised. Our instructor, Tiger, met us at the pier and patiently explained every detail. He was extremely supportive and made the instructions very clear, ensuring we were comfortable before going underwater. Our first dive lasted around 35 minutes, during which he guided us calmly, checked on us constantly, and helped us adjust while exploring marine life. After lunch, we did a second dive of about 50 minutes, which felt much easier and more enjoyable. The breakfast and lunch served on the boat were amazing, with authentic Thai food that was far better than what we had on other day trips. We paid extra for photos and videos, as it wasn’t included, but Tiger captured some really beautiful underwater moments. We highly recommend this place to anyone trying scuba diving for the first time.

Absolutely amazing experience! The whole team was efficient and very friendly. From posing us for pictures to making sure our lunch was ready by the time we got there to having a blast in the water. 10/10 jiggly recommend if you're looking for a full snorkel trip!!

it was an amazing experience. everything was prepared and done for you. William contacted us straight away after we booked. spoke excellent English so communication was easy. we booked for 2 dives and had a guide for the 2 of us so we didn't need to worry about getting lost in the crowd or not looked after especially in the water. the waters were excellent, clear and no current. we saw lots of fishes and wild life. William went above and beyond. after the trip he brought us to a private toilet and we went for local food! Best trip ever andhey highlyrecommended!

Great tour, lots of beautiful islands to visit. The tour team service is excellent!! Strongly recommend for diving lovers! The dive master are helpful and great!! Water is absolutely clear and you may see lots of animals and cute underwater creatures. You may also pay extra fee for let the dive masters taking photo of you undersea, it’s worth.
