We booked this for our honey moon and wow what an experience!! The friendly staff and tour guides were amazing, the best of the very best. The information they had behind the island and its culture to the vibes they provided while transporting to the different islands is out of this world.

Nice experience. Islands & beaches are beautiful. We enjoyed the longtail boat ride (1 hr) at Pileh Lagoon where we got to swim. We did not do snorkelling at the earlier spot. Speed boat ride was choppy esp on return. Lunch was wholesome but quite basic - rice options, noodles, chicken, fried fish, vegetarian. Kudos to Bobby our guide & his team for taking good care & an entertaining trip.

The guide, Linda, was excellent, she provided all the information clearly and kept the passengers amused during the day. Boat trip back was a bit bumpy but fun too. Would definitely recommend this trip. Ivor

The trip was very well organized. Right from the pick from the hotel in the morning to the drop back in the evening, everything was meticulously executed. Jackie, our tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained the details with a little touch of humour. The catamaran staff were polite and helpful too. Snorkeling in the open sea was the highlight of the trip. The view from Maya bay was magical. I highly recommend this activity.
