3.From Koh Lanta: Koh Haa & Koh Rok Snorkel Tour by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 403 reviews · 8 hours · from $54

Spend eight hours sailing from Koh Lanta Yai to Koh Haa and Koh Rok. You get three snorkel sessions, beach time, an all-you-can-eat lunch, fresh fruit, water, gear, and hotel transfers. Guides such as Deedy and Ruth help spot clownfish and other sea life, but bring your own fins if you want them.

“We had a great time. I think stopping at less places gave us a lot more snorkelling time. Lots of beautiful fish where we stopped. Boat ride was comfortable and didn’t feel too long. The only thing was they never said how we would know when it was time to come back from the water. At one spot there were a few other groups so when a horn sounded we were left wondering if it was our group that had to head back or another one. Would be easier if the horn sounded and also put up a flag so you would know for sure. Otherwise was a great tour.”

Barca veloce molto bella, con molti posti all'aperto a prua. Snorkeling piuttosto deludente, poca visibilità e niente coralli, solo rocce. Le soste sulle due isole molto belle, bagni in un mare spettacolare. Pranzo ok, grazie per aver preparato due box di cibo vegetariano per noi, non era un granchè, ma abbiamo apprezzato il gesto. Frutta in abbondanza a meranda, e acqua fresca a volontà sulla barca. Esoerienza nella grotta smeraldo molto suggestiva, la guida è stata molto attenta a trainare il gruppo al buio.…”

Vieri vieressä kymmeniä ihmisiä pienellä alueelle . Ja vielä opas unohti laskea porukat kun lähdettiin luola uinilta ja yksi asiakas jäi matkasta. kuski huomasi virheen ja äkkikäännös takaisin luolille. Mies löytyi luolien edestä ja onneksi oli pelastusliivit päällä, mutta paikalla oli enään kaksi pitkähäntävenettä. Todella huonoa asiakaspalvelua.”
