This was the most fantastic trip - 100% worth the money - they take you to the JB island for a photo op which is great but don't stop as it's a bit touristy - 10 minutes later you're on a virtually deserted identical island - no one there- stunning. The whole day is about keeping ahead of the crowds- went to see the big tree beach- beautiful- again only a few people there.....the Hong Islands are stunning as was everything we saw. A massive thanks to all the guys and girls who ran this- they were all just lovely, very efficient, professional and very informative completely made our day - every

Absolutely outstanding from start to finish! Unn was brilliant and filled us in on all the information on each island. I loved the fact that you go to little private beaches and even get to Hong island when its not that crowded its brilliantly planned. We got a taxi to the meeting place which was cheap and pretty straight forward. Thank you Unn Dan and crew for an unforgettable day 🙏🏼

We had the best time exploring James Bond Island, Hong Lagoon, Gu Du Yai Island, Koh Yao Noi (big tree), Rói Island, and Hong Island, honestly, every stop felt like something out of a movie. But what really made the whole experience unforgettable was our guide Ung. He was incredibly knowledgeable, attentive, and just made everything so easy and enjoyable from start to finish. You could tell he really cares about what he does, and it made such a difference. I would 100% go on any tour with him again, no question. If you get the chance, don’t hesitate. This was easily one of the highlights of ou

What an amazing day… all of the crew were amazing, Tuna, Unn and Naime along with the skipper and boat crew who could not do enough for you. They planned the trip to avoid crowds and were very informative as well as good fun! The areas we visited were stunning and we had a really lovely lunch on a beach too - the trip was well worth the money, 5 stars! Lots of room on the boat they only take a maximum of 17 people although the boat hols over 30 people!

My daughter and I participated at this amazing tour, far from discounted tourist circuits. Saim and the other crew members are extremely knowledgeable, and are lovable and interesting people to converse with. They explained a lot about the landscape and looked for the most special places for us based on the tides. Lunch on a beautiful half-empty beach was memorable. Thank you for this magical experience that we absolutely recommend!

The staff were very helpful and very happy to have us onboard. We thought that the arranged taxi collection from our resort was a little expensive and thought it was included in the price, as the initial details stated pick up from your hotel. The tour included visiting some exquisite islands and the lunch provided was very enjoyable. Stephan and his freelance tour guide went over and above to ensure we had a memorable day filled with humour and very interesting facts about the surrounding ecosystem. A thoroughly enjoyable day and we were exhausted at the end!!!!

This was a fantastic tour and the most perfect day in nature. Stephane and Sakee were fun and friendly, they were wonderful guides and went out of their way to make sure we were having a good time. The small group was great - only nine of us today. We visited beautiful spots with stunning scenery, including some incredible mangroves. Somehow the guides planned and timed the day so we had each of the places we stopped at pretty much to ourselves. Excellent lunch on the beach - we were given our own vegetarian lunch between the two of us, at short notice - we only booked the trip the day before

This tour was amazing! I saw probably 50 clown (Nemo) fish, a sea snake, all types of coral! Our guides were kind, fun, and informative. We went to the a number of different islands and our guides knew all the best places to snorkel on these islands. We also saw the iconic James Bond Island. A private lunch on an island that was practically uninhabited at the time was also provided with gluten free options! What a wonderful experience. Recommend 100% !

Beautiful landscape and well maintained boat. The crew was exceptional, knowledgeable, and so fun to be around. They went out of their way to make sure that all passengers felt welcomed and safe. Hats off to Tuna, Sea, and Captain! Wish there was more time dedicated to snorkling, but overall a wonderful experience.
