“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.”

The Emerald cave was amazing, and something you have to see for yourself, truly a natural beauty. The lunch on the beach was a cool, everything is homemade and authentic which is a nice touch for the trip! It’s a long day and you are in the long tail boat for a while but I do think it’s worth it to see places and things you wouldn’t get a chance to!”

“We had a really great time with this tour. We got picked-up from our hotel at the estimated time (maybe 5 min later than expected) and drove to a private pier to go on a long tail boat. The first stop was a cave on the Ko Talabeng which was a true adventure! We climbed into the cave. And I mean real climbing: you have to pull yourself up a robe so make sure you feel ok with heights and some sportily activity. After that we hoped on the Kayakts and had time to explore the island and the surroundings. So much to see and experience! Totally worth it.”
