Review of Koh Tao’s $27 snorkeling tour, with Koh Nangyuan, four bays, lunch, wildlife, hotel pickup, and practical booking tips.
“Activity was amazing. We loved every stop, and we saw so much wildlife- turtles, sharks, starfish, loads of colorful fish and coral. The go pro was also an added bonus- we were impressed by all the photos/videos taken and shared with us day of. The only downfall we had were the snorkeling masks. Ours kept fogging up and we had to adjust constantly. Overall, we were very impressed and would definitely book again!”

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 :)”

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.”
