The tour was really fun....

The tour was really fun. The scenery was beautiful. The food served on the boat was good. The climb up is a little challenging, I did it in flip flops but definitely wouldn’t recommend it, bring appropriate footwear and spare flip flops if you want to enjoy the beaches.

My Ko Ang Thong

Despite the weather being unpredictable due to the season, I enjoyed the tour. The islands are amazingly beautiful, reminding me of HoLang Bay in Vietnam. The whole thing from the pick up to drop off, including all the transfers, food, and service were great. Highly recommended it.

Fantastic Island Tour – Great Value for Money

Absolutely fantastic experience! Everything was very well organized, and the staff were incredibly friendly and attentive. We were served a lovely lunch, along with snacks and soft drinks throughout the trip. Transport to and from our hotel was also included, which made everything even more convenient. It wasn’t our first island tour, but I’m really glad we chose this one this time. It offered great value for money!

Disappointing

Unfortunately, we were very disappointed by this boat trip overall. The tour felt like it consisted largely of waiting and long journey times. Even in the morning it took a very long time for all guests to be on board, and the subsequent drive to the national park was also quite long. On site, the boat could not dock directly, so everyone had to be taken to the beach by small dinghies – again connected with a lot of waiting time. In general, the group was much too large, which made the entire organization seem very impersonal, hectic and sometimes chaotic. Even the food was not well organized: At the buffet you had to queue for a long time due to the large crowd. Overall, you felt like you were only being “passed through” from one point to the next without really being able to enjoy the beauty of the surroundings. The ascent to the viewpoint was physically demanding, which is basically no problem – but you were under so much time pressure that you could hardly enjoy the view before you had to go back again. In addition, there were not enough kayaks for all participants, which is very disappointing with such a large group. All in all, it was unfortunately a wasted day for us and not worth the money.

Vielen Dank, dass Sie Ihr ausführliches Feedback mit uns geteilt haben. Es tut uns wirklich leid, dass Ihre Erfahrung nicht Ihren Erwartungen entsprochen hat, und wir wissen es zu schätzen, dass Sie sich die Zeit genommen haben, uns mitzuteilen, wo wir nicht zufrieden waren. Wir möchten klarstellen, dass unsere „Big Boat“-Touren speziell für Gäste konzipiert sind, die ein sanfteres, entspannteres Segelerlebnis im Vergleich zur schnelleren, oft holprigeren Fahrt mit einem Schnellboot bevorzugen. Aufgrund der Größe des Bootes dauert das Ein- und Aussteigen – einschließlich der Nutzung kleinerer Beiboote zum Erreichen des Strandes – mehr Zeit, um die Sicherheit für alle zu gewährleisten. Wir verstehen, dass dieser Übergang hektisch war und zu Wartezeiten führte, die Ihre Freude am Tag beeinträchtigten. Bei der Wanderung zum Aussichtspunkt sind wir bestrebt, den Gästen so viel Zeit wie möglich zu geben. Bitte beachten Sie jedoch, dass Sie niemals ganz nach oben gelangen müssen. Auf halber Strecke ist die Landschaft oft genauso schön, und Gäste sind jederzeit willkommen, ein gemächlicheres Tempo zu genießen, wenn sie es vorziehen, nicht zu hetzen. Wir hören auch Ihre Bedenken hinsichtlich der Buffetorganisation und der Verfügbarkeit von Kajaks. Seien Sie versichert, dass wir Ihr Feedback direkt an unser Betriebsteam weitergeben, um das Crowd-Management zu verbessern. Darüber hinaus wird die Kajakaktivität vom Nationalpark verwaltet und unterliegt der Verfügbarkeit der Ausrüstung. Wir werden Ihre Kommentare jedoch selbstverständlich an die zuständigen Behörden weiterleiten. Wir schätzen Ihre Ehrlichkeit, da sie uns hilft, unsere Dienstleistungen zu verbessern. Wir würden uns freuen, Ihnen in Zukunft ein besseres Erlebnis bieten zu können. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns mit Ihrer Buchungsnummer, damit wir dies weiter besprechen können.

Didn’t let me move the date to another day or even offer a discount because I couldn’t attend due to my bad sun burn.

Nice Service and Worth It !

Totally worth it ! Pickup on time, easy to connect on WhatsApp with a fast response. The view was stunning and the service was superb. Our guide was taking a good care of us, made sure we were ok and helped taking photos. Lunch was Thai food at a local restaurant, was ok and enough for everyone.
