Amazing trip & so well organised. Coco "Very Beautiful" was a fantastic host who kept the boat informed about what & when everything was happening. She just kept it all flowing. The first stop for a swim was great. At the second stop the National Park Kayaking guides know & love the area so put on a great show. James Bond Island with the longboats into it were great fun as well. Boat was well appointed & good food for lunch, dinner was a little disappointing as over cooked.

It is an unique place for who loves snorkelling, I have never seen so many varieties of corals e nemo fish. The company is great! They provided us with a new snorkelling mouthpiece, great food and an excellent atmosphere! The guide tours are over the moon!! Vina is very professional, friendly and with an amazing energy!! My family and I will definitely return with this company!

It was beyond all expectations in all respects & we highly recommend this trip to those who are contemplating it. When we visit Phuket again we will most certainly do the day trip to Phi Phi Island with the same organisation.

Perefect day, organised perfectly and it was simply incredible the staff are amazing

Great trip. It was nice to have your own assigned area plus open spaces to use,
