- Excellent tour to see the beautiful bay. Great canoeing through diamond cave and Hong island. Definitely a fabulous experience for everyone. The guides, Noon and Jee, were fabulous and very friendly.
@traceydZ3651BVReviewed October 2024 - Tommy is an exceptional tour guide, who not only brings a wealth of experience to tours of this nature but is extremely funny, respectful and, of course, insightful and safe. Mind you, safety is the last thing you need to concern yourself with on this tour: every precaution is taken, the boat is sturdy and well staffed. The buffet is fantastic and its catering for people with dietary requirements is a superb touch. Tommy ensures all this. I could not recommend this tour more – my partner and I had an absolute blast, and would do it all again in a heartbeat. You will be mesmerised by the views and I guarantee it’ll be a key highlight of your journey.
@jamespD5248CCReviewed October 2024 - Tommy and Arjan were amazing. Every event was planned so well and executed. No delays anywhere. Tommy is super entertaining and take care of the guests really well. Totally enjoyed.
@pravishlReviewed October 2024 - Tommy is a funny man, good entertainer. Good day. Great balanced day with different activities. Would recommend for a good day out on the water in Thailand
@229tajwReviewed October 2024 - The day was amazing! The crew was spectacular. They did everything to make us feel welcome. The islands we visited were beautiful. The food was yummy! 😋 Excellent experience that I would definitely recommend. Noon was so nice. Leo was our kayak guide and he did a great job as well. Thank you all so much!
