This tour is the best we have ever been on. We had fantastic weather and the crew were absolutely lovely and well organised! All activities on the day were incredible and the stops along the way were absolutely beautiful. A day to remember for sure!

The tour was an amazing experience! For a reasonable and fair price you get to try so many good experiences and receive a top quality service! The beaches we visited were the best ones if we compare them to Koh Samui, so really worth it

Great time, even snorkeling in the rain was fun. Ken was fantastic and had plenty of time for each spot. Hike to viewpoint was tough but so worth it.

Incredible experience! The guide and the people who accompanied him were very friendly and concerned, it is totally worth it!

Hotel pick up was late but trip made up for it the views were great and very nice beaches to swim
