Review of Koh Samui’s 8-hour fishing trip, with boat fishing, lunch, hotel transfers, expert help, costs, catches, and practical tips.
“Great day trip. A bit of confusion when booking as the description had 8am start and only 2 pickup locations with surcharge outside these zones. Please note that hotel pickup is actually included and we were picked up at 9am in a van (Get Your Guide, please update your info online). We had a nice group size of 9 (shared trip) and left pier around 10am. We had 3 beginners in our party who quickly learnt how to use the rods and then lots of fishing time. Not many bites in the morning ( few small fish but enough to thrill the newbies), then onto a local bay for lunch.…”
Review of Koh Samui’s seven-hour fishing and snorkeling trip, with hotel pickup, lunch, gear, group size, costs, and honest booking advice.
“Falsely advertised. Spent most of time “fishing???” for bait! Discovered on the boat we had been charged almost double what another couple was charged. We were also told on the morning of the trip we had to pay another 300 baht each for transport. I threatened to cancel if that was the case. I wish I had cancelled however the extra charge was waived.”
