“The weather unfortunately wasn’t on our side but we still had the best day! The spots you go to on this tour are absolutely gorgeous. The snorkelling was great and we had a perfect amount of time at each stop (except Maya bay - we found this very boring and over rated. It’s such a tourist trap). Still worth seeing though :) Guides were great and friendly and everything ran smoothly! Highly recommend :)”
