Twas a good experience. The guide was very helpful and most important thing is he didn't rushed to go to another location. We took our sweet time exploring beautiful spots. The guide was very patient and took underwater videos and photos of us (I'm still waiting for my photos, they said will share via email) The water was very clear and emerald green, there were so many fish and corals. Beautiful. Will definitely come back again.

The room was spacious and clean. A pickup person was waiting at the pier, so it was easy to get around by songthaew, and they even took me to another hotel after check-out.

The private tour in the afternoon was really worth it. We were practically alone at every spot. The guide was also very friendly, even if he didn't understand everything in English.

I've been on a lot of Southeast Asia island hopping tours, but this is the first time I've seen one that goes to so many spots and offers such a fulfilling snorkeling experience. Don't expect a luxurious island hopping tour. It's a very raw, bare-bones island hopping experience. It's the same with a wooden boat (with a motor) and because the boat is small to begin with, it only goes with a small number of people. The sea really did everything. The sea was so pretty and there were so many fish, I was happy. The heartbreaking thing is that Koh Lipe is now so crowded that all the coral is dead ㅠㅠ This can't be helped... The sea itself is very clear. They give you a packed lunch for lunch, and the lunch wasn't bad either. There's a place like a snack bar where you eat, and if you buy a cup ramen and eat it together, it disappears in an instant. On the way back, they cut up watermelon, which was so sweet and delicious!! It takes a long time to get to the first spot. The first spot is the furthest away, and then we stopped in between on the way back. So it's quick from the last spot to the drop-off area! It was so much fun! Highly recommended!!
