All I can say is wow! The snorkeling was absolutely the best I have done in Thailand and though the day was rather long, 6:30 a.m. pick up and didn't get home until 8:30 that night. We did three amazing snorkel stops and a shout out to Way and illiya who were just the best during the cruise. They were attentive to everyone's needs. Made sure everyone was having a good time and they were actually kind of funny. We got an extra snorkel stop at the end of the day when most people went to the beach they made sure that some of us who wanted to snorkel had the opportunity to do so. My only comment would be that at the end of the day when we were supposed to had dinner there was only 10 minutes for us to get something to eat before we had to board our transportation. Other than that five stars all the way around. I would absolutely suggest this trip to anyone and if I had to do it again the only difference is I would do it as an overnight. It was so amazing

Hands down the best island excursion we've ever been on! We've been to Phi Phi before, and it's beautiful there too, but this place is truly amazing! At first, the excursion seems tiring, as the minibus ride took 1.5 hours and then the boat ride another 1.2 hours, but when we arrived at the islands, we were speechless. If you love snorkeling, this is the place for you! Seeing a huge turtle underwater among the already rich fauna leaves an indelible impression!!! We still have goosebumps))) And the monitor lizards, exotic birds, and other inhabitants of the island, freely roaming around, add to the exotic feel. Definitely recommend visiting!!!

And an additional bonus, snorkeling is filmed on a GoPro completely free of charge, so be sure to take advantage of this, the memories will be great, of course we left a tip for the operator, but it is not mandatory, it is left at the discretion of each)
