Love the tour, but, here the organization was not good

We had to wait in a line to go through security, this I was aware of, but then, we stood in a line for about 2 hours to get in. When I went to,the front to discuss this with the co-ordinations, they told me to take it us with you. Also, very crowded. Finally, was told when we entered that children under the age of 18 don't pay, so I paid for 2 tickets that I didn't have to. Unfortunately, by the time the lady at info told me, we had already scanned the tickets. Was not well organized.

Well worth the money, a bit chaotic to start the day at meeting hub but dont let that put you offf .Guide and staff on boat absolutely brilliant, tour fantastic, made some lovely friends wouldn't hesitate to recommend, beach food excellent, five star all round. G x

Ticket purchases was a breeze!

A wonderful experience - our guides Lop and Danny were excellent. We reached Maya Bay before the main crowds and every stop afterwards was also great.

Our guide was amazing! Visit to the Moken village was really interesting and diving spots were beautiful.

Great guide, beautiful beaches and snorkeling was really fun...
