          Amazing island tour!
          Highlight of our time in Koh Phangan!! Our group of 5 had the best time on our day trip around Koh Phangan. We had booked the tour as we didn't want to rent bikes but the tour ended up being so much more than just a ride around the island! Our guide was excellent - he helped us climb up to the waterfalls, entertained us with jokes, told us about the island and made sure all of our belongings were safe while we explored. We saw some beautiful beaches, swam, relaxed and got to see the whole island. We also had the best meal of our entire trip at a local Thai restaurant that our guide took us to. The only negative was that the snorkelling wasn't amazing. However, we didn't go out far enough into the sea to give it a real chance, and the beach was so beautiful that we were happy to just float around and relax after a busy day. It's also not the tour's fault that the corals were unfortunately quite bleached and despite what some previous reviews have said, this did not detract in any way from our enjoyment of the day. Ending the day at the viewpoint was lovely. Our guide also didn't rush us at all - while the tour was described as being over by 6pm, we didn't get back to our hotel until 9pm as we had so much fun that we got carried away. The day was excellent value for money. Don't hesitate to book this trip - ignore the past reviews calling this an expensive taxi, it is so much more than that and really one of the best memories from our time in Thailand.

          ‘English speaking’ guide spoke no English…Save your money and just go to these locations yourself, nothing special.
          Booked an English speaking tour however the driver spoke hardly any English, I’m not even sure of his name as he didn’t introduce himself. The day was basically an expensive taxi ride around the island. The driver would just point in a vague direction, not much guiding, no explanation on what we’re doing, hardly interacted with us, just walked fast ahead and we tried to follow. Beach we were taken to for snorkeling was not even an appropriate spot to do so, and as it was the second last stop of the tour, not enough daylight to snorkel even if there was anything to see other than shallow sand. Was disappointing and poor value for money. You can easily just go to any of these places in your own time for free. View point is nice and the beach club has a really cool vibe, 420 club only good if you can get a beanbag to actually take in the view, however not possible as all the other tour groups from the same company were already there. Was also very disappointed to see the ‘tour guide’ throw his empty water bottle into the jungle on the viewpoint walk.

          You pay for a taxi guide. That’s all you get.
          We basically went to 2 beaches with a bar in each of them. We could not do snorkeling (which is included in the package). You stay there for 1 hour. Then you have a lunch at a viewpoint but you have to pay for it (usually lunch is included in these tours). After that, we went to a waterfall (not that beautiful). We stayed there 30 min. Last place is a bar at a viewpoint where, once again, you have to pay to have access to the view. So you basically pay for the guide (who is very nice) who is your taxi of the day. No value added. You could just take a taxi by yourself and go to the beach.

          Fun tour
          We had the best time, very recommended especially if you prefer not renting a scooter in the island. It's the best way to see koh phangan's best places in a short time.

          Lovely trip. Am sure it is not a comprehensive trip around the island but you are given quality time at each stop. Ali the guide was very welcoming and helpful.

          Highly recommend!
          Highly recommend this tour! Our tour guide was Sol and he was fantastic. He took us to all the best spots in Koh Phangan and told us some info about each place, took photos for us, and kept us entertained all day. We never felt rushed at any time and we had a great day out. The tour route is quite flexible too so if there is a certain place you would like to visit, or if you would like to spend more or less time somewhere it is no problem at all. I would definitely recommend this tour if it is your first time to the island and you’re not sure where to go, you are in good hands with Sol!

          We really had a good time and got out very much of the iland by booking this.
          Our guide, namned Sol, was showing us the best places. He was good at english, new the best spots and listened to our requests. We really had a good time and totally recommend booking this! They had a speaker in the car so you can listen to the music you prefer during the drive.

          Great day out
          This is the best way to see other parts of the island without a scooter and such good value for just 600B. Stopped at some great beaches, as well as a waterfall (fairly average but a good stop still) and then finished the day enjoying the views at three sixty bar. We were taken to a restaurant with ocean views for lunch offering a variety of food and reasonably priced.

          Great tour!
          My partner and I visited Koh phangan and didn't want to rent a scooter to see the island so we decided to do this tour instead and it was well worth it. We were collected from our hostel on time and taken to several of the best places to see on the island. There was free cold water and you can even put your own music on! We had enough time at each stop and never felt rushed. The guide was very helpful and attentive to the group. The only downside was the lunch stop, we were taken to a restaurant which was fairly cheap and had a huge menu but I feel because of this they try to cater for too many and so don't really excel at any dish. Most of our group felt the same way having tried various dishes. Apart from that the tour itself is definitely worth the price and a great alternative to hiring a scooter.

          Beautiful day in Koh Phangan!
          This trip was absolutely worth it! Way better than expected. If you’re looking for a tour of the island this tour is perfect for you. If you especially love beautiful insagrammable pictures Noom (tour guide) will do that for you. Ask him to edit your photos (if using an iPhone). We had a blast! We wouldn’t have seen the other beaches otherwise - as most taxis are expensive. On another note, he brings you to the hanging tree for the sunset in the end which is not written on the itinerary. It’s absolutely gorgeous. Thanks Noom! I highly recommend this tour!

        My friend and I had 2 days on Koh Phangan and weren’t keen on scooters.

        Nom took us on the best day of our whole Thailand trip we visited waterfalls, lookouts, amazing beaches, snorkeling, Great lunch and a fabulous sunset. He provided a comfortable air conditioned car with water, snacks, pick up, drop off and tolerated our singalongs in the car. He is also a very talented and obliging photographer.

        If you are unsure how to spend limited time on the island give them a call you won’t regret it

        This private tour was excellent. Noom was the perfect guide for me and my friend. Friendly, helpful, knowledgeable and patient-this is what we experienced with Noom. We explored the island, which included 3 breathtaking beaches, a waterfall, feeding elephants, visiting a historical landmark, and watching the sunset from a fabulous bar with an amazing view. I absolutely recommend this tour and would do it again. 5 stars plus an extra one 😊 Book this tour...you won't regret it!

        I would like to recommend Brain , A great guide who took us on a wonderful tour of Copenhagen. Brain made sure it was interesting for us, it was important to him that we were satisfied, he was interested in us and what would make us happy, and only after he asked us He planned the most suitable trip for us. Brian is a conversationalist and has a lot of knowledge, and he is happy to answer any question and explain everything with patience and love.

        This was the best deal on the island and a great day. We looked at other island tours and didn’t want to sit on a bench in a back of a truck on winding roads. With this tour we had our own car and guide. We could tailor the stops to our wants. Noom (I hope I remember correctly) was a super cool guy with an easy going personality who seems to know everyone we pass. We were glad we booked the tour.

        Our tour guide was so friendly and helpful, he told us things about the island to help us out with the rest of our stay. There was cold bottled water for us to help ourself to and also sliced watermelon. He took us to the best spots and let us explore alone for a set amount of time. The lunch spot was AMAZING! Food and drinks were delicious and the area was so lovely. We could jump off into the sea and he also gave us snorkels to use aswell! He helped us climb up the waterfall and took lovely pictures of us. I highly recommend this trip! Such a fun and exciting day out!

        What a great day. We booked this trip because we had no idea of how to get started on this beautiful island. Mingalaba was a terrific choice. The morning started with our driver Mr. Noom handed us bottles of ice cold water and ushered us into his big comfortable car (model forgotten) with terrific a/c. At each stop, Noom explained the basics and let us stay for as long as wanted. I never felt any pressure to move on to the next attraction. It made for a very relaxing, but interesting day. I would recommend this company warmly.

        A great way to get out and see Koh Phangan in a day. It was a all very relaxed and easy a Noom clearly knows everything (and everyone!) on the island. I think we got to pretty much every beach on the island with plenty of time for swimming and walking.

        It wasa very exciting and informative day tour. All the credit goes to our driver cum guide Brain. He was extremely polite and helpful. His driving was also superb. He took us to various beautiful beaches, waterfall and some interesting places. During lunch time he took us to an excellent restaurant Pure Vegan Heaven. On the whole it turned out to be a very nice outing...

        Great tour of the island with Nom. Saw all of the key sites and beaches. Plenty of time at each site. Lovely snorkelling and good lunch options. A perfect way to see the island with a local guide.
