Review of Krabi’s sunset junk cruise, island snorkeling, Thai buffet, and after-dark bioluminescent swim, with practical booking advice.
“We all had a great time, even our one friend who is not a very strong swimmer. We normally have her wea a life jacket and swim her around with us but one of the staff actually took her around the reefs and she had a great time!”
Review of Phi Phi’s four-hour longtail tour, with Maya Bay, Pileh Lagoon, snorkeling, Monkey Beach, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.
“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 :)”

“Amazing crew on the boat! So funny and welcoming, made the tour even better. Beautiful snorkle, the best reef we have seen in Thailand!! Nice to get to maya bay early, there were still some people, but it’s still better than later in the day. Highly recommend:))”
Review of Krabi’s 5-hour luxury longtail boat tour, with Railay, Poda Island, snorkeling, drinks, snacks, and practical booking tips.

Explore Krabi’s islands by speedboat with snorkeling, sunset BBQ, remote beaches, and a swim with bioluminescent plankton.
“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.”

Review of Koh Haa and Koh Rok from Koh Lanta, with snorkeling, beach lunch, speedboat details, costs, crowds, and practical tips.
“We had a great experience! The guide was very friendly and explained everything clearly in English. He took us to beautiful spots, some more crowded than others but overall it was very well organized. The lunch was good and we had enough free time to enjoy each place. Highly recommended!”
Review of Ko Lanta’s four-island longtail boat tour, with snorkeling, Emerald Cave, beach lunch, pricing, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.
“Great trip, islands were beautiful. Transportation was smooth. You spend a fair amount of time on the boat but there are shaded seats if you desire. Well organized. Staff were very nice”
Review of Ao Nang’s Hong Island snorkel tour, with Deang Island reefs, Thai lunch, Hong Lagoon, beach time, viewpoint, price, and tips.
“The activity is great, not too crowded or rushed. The stops are very beautiful 😍. The 2 hour stop at Hong Island is ideal & the optional 360 viewpoint doesn’t take long to climb up to (~15mins). The snorkels are free to use & you get to keep them the whole day. Our tour guide Mimi was great! The lunch is good, with fruit snack afterward & unlimited water all day. Pick up & drop off from hotel is good. Thank you, would recommend this tour.”

“The staff were absolutely amazing. Very informative and safety was number one. I do wish we would have been able to get into the water a bit more, as we only were able to twice out of all the stops. Beautiful day, and they made it good. Thanks.”
Review of Phi Phi’s 5-hour speedboat trip with Maya Bay, monkey beach, shark snorkeling, sunset, and bioluminescent plankton for $48.
“We had a long and thorough search for something that would be reasonably priced and would give us a decent balance between seeing key locations in Phi Phi and some snorkelling time. This was it! The tour was very well organised, yet easy going and full of good vibes. The guides were very well informed and fun. While it is impossible to avoid crowds in Maya Bay, I believe we had a very reasonable amount of people in that part of the sunset tour. All the stops were worth doing and watching the sunset in the middle of the sea was amazing. No sharks or turtles for us this time,…”
Review of Phuket’s $39 ferry cruise to Phi Phi, with Maya Bay, Pileh Cove, snorkeling, lunch, practical tips, costs, and honest drawbacks.
“good time management. guide was not audible for some time”
Review of Krabi’s Yawasam and Talu Island snorkeling trip, with coral reefs, Nemo fish, a secret beach, lunch, and practical booking advice.
“We liked the snorkeling trip. We stopped at two islands, one of them was more like a huge rock. We liked it, there were many different fish and corals. Visibility was worse because there was a lot of plankton, but that's nature. We stopped for lunch at the beautiful hidden beach of Ko Poda Nai, there were only 2 boats there👍. We were very satisfied with the trip, it had only one small flaw. We were promised snorkeling footage that the guide documented, so far we haven't got it😏”
Pick a coast, a kitchen or a temple.
