About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- theodoree7230 contributionsWorst trip I've ever booked.If you want to arrive at the Island after 1.5 hours after leaving Pattaya Mainland, be around Dozens of Indian tourist who don't follow tour guide instruction, and once you finally get to the Island, only to find out that on Wednesdays' chairs and umbrella's aren't allowed on the beach; then this trip is for you. Sarcasm Off. Worst trip I've ever booked.Written March 18, 2025
- C9030ULpaulog0 contributionsGreat ExperienceIt was a fantastic experience. Everething was exceptional, reception people extremely kind, good food, light views of Bangkok were wonderfull and the musicians complete a unforgetable night.Written March 13, 2025
- Phillip C0 contributionsVery good day trip to Banana Beach from Phuket.Well organized, friendly guide, boat transportation very good. Lunch on the beach was excellent. Actually the snorkeling on the beach was better than the snorkeling from the boat….not sure why…water clarity? Banana Beach was great. This is a popular attraction so expect a crowd.Written March 9, 2025
- J7730GMianm0 contributionsDinner over the riverGreat evening over the river from our hotel great entertainment and food well worth the visit. Only 5 mins on boat from Our hotel Mandarin OrientalWritten March 9, 2025
- Stay030428534720 contributionsGreat option for older, less mobilr travellersThis is definitely one for the more mobile people. We were taken to the memorial, and then the Jeath museum, but then they take you in a boat to the Bridge. As an older couple, we were not able to get into the boat due to it being so the van drove us to Bridge. Getting onto the train was quite a step up, but we managed to get on and off. It was definitely worth the effort to be able to see what these amazing men achieve under unbelievable circumstancesWritten March 9, 2025
- Alexislee71120 contributionsGreat beach day!We had a really great time at Banana Beach! We arrived to the marina and the staff provided us with towels and a beach bag to use for the day. We then got onto the boat to head to the beach. All of the staff on the boat and on the island were very kind and helpful. We had booked a specific excursion but found out while there we were not able to do it. The staff was very accommodating in switching our excursion to another option. We really enjoyed the snorkeling, the buffet lunch, kayaking, riding the banana boat and time to just relax on the beach.Written March 7, 2025
- Genique H0 contributionsRelaxing day at National ParkThe trip was great! We got off to a late start, which was good as our driver made sure everyone booked was in the trip. The journey to the pier was very quick. The team at the pier were well organised, and gave us stickers to denote which part of the trip we would be on. Very professional and friendly team. There were opportunities to take a bathroom and coffee break at the pier. When we arrived, you stay with the group which gets you your pass to the national park. You then take a bus to your destination, be it the beach or another region kn the island. Beautiful white sand. Remember do not take any shells or corals from the beach, as you will be fined. Calm waves and clear fwater, both many fish clearly visible.we opted for the meal included, which was chicken. However, there was a fish option if you state you don't eat chicken. The toilet and shower facilities were clean. Waterspouts was additional. We hired a paddle board for 400baht. All in all a good trip. Very relaxed easy and stress free day on the island. With the opportunity to make friends and relax with like minded people. Perfect for a solo, group, couple or family trip.Written March 5, 2025

- didsburys0 contributionsWaste of moneyThis was a total waste of money. It was such a stressful day as we were yelled at to get in line. We were the only group of English speaking and it was very confusing. The boats were crowded and the island was a bust with hoards of people. Worst day ever we would not recommend this trip.Written February 22, 2025

- Adder260 contributionsA wonderful experience with Elephants combined with a unique hotel.The whole experience at this hotel is faultless and one of the best we have ever experienced. All the rooms are in large tents ( about 15 in total spread out over about 1km) which are extremely comfortable - AC and Heating with huge balconies and ours also had a jacuzzi. The food quality is outstanding and the staff delightful and so welcoming. The hotel is closely linked with the Elephant foundation and there are 6 elephants in the hotel grounds looks after by their Mahouts. The elephants join you at breakfast which is a unique experience and there are various opportunities to see the elephants with their Mahouts in the grounds and learn all about them.Written February 9, 2025
