Full description

This is a 8-hour experience from Pattaya, built around River boat and Samae San Island. It is run by SST Global Tour, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Japan's outdoors is organised: trails are marked, mountain huts are booked, and the walking routes with history, the Nakasendo post road between Magome and Tsumago and the Kumano Kodo pilgrimage in Wakayama, are done in comfortable day stages with luggage forwarded. Cycling tours use the flat river paths and back streets that cars avoid. The summer heat from July to September makes early starts essential in the cities and lowlands, while the mountains are cool. Winter turns Hokkaido and Nagano into ski country from December to March, with the powder that Niseko and Hakuba are known for.

The price covers Insurance, Life jacket, Snorkeling equipment, Beach chair and Ferry transfer to Samae San Island. It does not cover Tips, Personal expenses, Other expenses not mentioned above and Lunch, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Pattaya City. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with SST Global Tour before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

Sehr gute Organisation. Zuverlässiger Fahrer. Mittagessen kann im Restaurant auf der Insel gekauft und gegessen werden. Leider war das Wasser beim Schnorchelplatz aufgewühlt und die Sicht schlecht. Ist abhängig von der Strömung und dem Wetter. Schöner Strand zum Baden. Wenig Leute unter der Woche.

L’heure de prise en charge (9:00) n’est pas adaptée pour un départ du bateau à 10:00 à l’embarcadère. Le chauffeur n’avait plus d’essence dans son véhicule, il a donc fait un arrêt puis il a conduit à toute vitesse pour être à l’heure en nous faisant prendre des risques sur la route. C’est inacceptable ! Nous étions très mal à l’aise pendant ce trajet et ça était pareil au retour. Il ne parlait pas anglais et la communication a été difficile et pratiquement inexistante. L’île est très belle, nous avons fait 30 minutes de snorkeling et le reste du temps de la baignade et c’est tout ! Tout cela

Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.
