Boat was great, I picked over a speedboat so I could see the view and did not disappoint. Having lunch on the boat with the view of the islands was amazing. Breakfast was light- tea, coffee, croissant and banana and lunch was buffet style. They had some vegetarian options too! Hikes were difficult but worth it and snorkeling is not worth it, just swim on the beach or do one of the hikes.
The tour was great. Must have sunny weather to properly enjoy the view. The boat ride out was about 2 hours and was pretty rough! A lot of people were sick so keep that in mind. The guide talked A LOT and you couldn't understand any of it. A clearer, shorter explanation would probably have been better. Either way I still give it 5 stars because the islands are just so beautiful nothing else really matters.
Hotel pickup was prompt and our driver was funny. Then we embarked on a 2 hour boat ride where the swells bothered most of the guests and many sick bags were handed out and used. I think the tour guides should have provided ginger ale and ginger snaps as ginger helps many people with sea sickness. The two islands we visited were beautiful. The views of the islands were stunning and my friends and I took many memorable pictures. Getting in and out of the longtail boats on the floating docks was an adventure in itself. I’m a huge snorkeling fan as it’s my favorite hobby, so this was the biggest disappointment for me. This is not a snorkel trip at all whatsoever. Our second stop on a beach with ropes to indicate where to swim, was supposedly where we were to snorkel. It was not a guided tour, we were not by reefs and there were no fish. The water was murky and the top layer had so much trash from tourism, I was shocked. My friends and I hung out in the water a bit to cool off then we sat on the beach and enjoyed the Mountain View’s. Would I go back out to this marine park, absolutely. However, I would go on a speed boat, likely on a private tour, and I would specify that snorkeling is a top priority. This region of Thailand is suppose to have some excellent spots so I will definitely try again.
