Traveler Reviews
The program was fantastic. The staff is really helpfule, and kind, they want us really make happy. The trip is more than amazing! The places where we stopped were stunning and the sunset is beautiful this trip is worth everything trust me. This was rhe best day so far!!! 🫶🏼
Everything was good,communication, transportation, boat ride ,BBQ dinner on Poda Island and swimming/ snorkeling with the Bioluminescent plankton ( even though it was not as visible as you see on the internet, but that is out of their control) The only improvement I can suggest that the guide ( can't remember his name ,chubby ladyboy ) tell more about the Islands and area history. A solid 5 stars nevertheless.
Amazing end to our time in Krabi. Our guide Ming was great he went above and beyond to make sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves. Even though it was a cloudy evening we still got to see a beautiful sunset and then the bioluminescent plankton. Food was nice and plenty of water/drinks and snacks. Would definitely recommend.
Wonderful, our guide V was great fun and knew his stuff well, would highly recommend to anyone passing through Krabi needing to see plenty in a little time
Our tour guide was amazing! He did everything for us to ensure it was a smooth and enjoyable trip. He went all and above to explain us Thailand traditions, food, culture, people, hidden gems, travel tricks.. We were well informed. This was a unique experience. I recommend to everyone.
We took speed boat, and was really big and good. Meal awesome! And good guides.
We had an amazing day visiting the islands with Fee. We had fruit on the boat after swimming and then a delicious BBQ dinner on Poda. The moon was quite bright so we only saw a little of the Bioluminescent Plankton but it was pretty cool to see like little sparks. We didn't snorkel but we saw loads of fish from the boat as the water was so clear and others took advantage of the snorkelling gear and went in. Sunset was absolutely stunning! A big thank you to Fee who was a wonderful guide and photographer! Would definitely recommend this trip.
Loved this tour! The weather was awful at first but nothing that can be done about that. Snorkelling was amazing fun and saw some really nice things. Poda Island was so beautiful, great snorkelling and sunset was stunning. BBQ was really nice and soft drinks provided, range of indian and thai food which was nice. Bioluminescent plankton was amazing, really really recommend that you get in the water and have a go with the snorkel too. Felt so cool having the water sparkle around you! Most people stayed on the boat and can't help but feel they missed out. Thanks for a great day!
The whole trip was well run. Didn’t get to see much of the glow in the dark plankton. The photos do deceive but bear in mind that I went when it was half / 3 quarter moon. If there’s no moon I’m sure it’ll be spectacular. The Braai (BBQ) on the Island was absolutely great. Definitely something worth doing 😆
It was amazing! Got to go visit a good amount of islands. Enough time at the ones to snorkel: relax at. Food was delicious.
This tour was the highlight of my trip. Like most tours, it started with feeling like a herd of cattle in a midst of confusion but once we were on our boat, all was good. Our guide Pichi (Peachy?) was full of energy and spoke great English. The sunset was incredible, the activities were spaced out nicely, the food was delicious. We swam with the bioluminscent plankton under the stars. Just magical. I obviously highly recommend this tour.
I loved the snorkeling at Chicken island -sooo many fish right next to my head. Getting on and off the longboat is a bit difficult sometimes but all in all it was an amazing trip!
