Really good day out and the guide was funny caring with a big smile
Ms. Banana was incredible tour guide. So smiley and happy. We love her.
We had a fabulous time today with Miss Banana! It got off to a slow start but Miss Banana was such a great guide that we ended loving every minute of it. The snorkeling was fabulous but we went scuba diving with our kids & that was amazing experience for them! The food was excellent as was the whole experience! Thank you to everyone but especially to Miss Banana (btw who has a very good sense of humor 😀..)
Had an amazing tour with an even better guide, Miss Duyen (team banana) was so helpful and friendly all day! Everything went smoothly and would highly recommend!
Ms. BANANA was amazing! Very helpful and took care of my niece and nephew while I went snorkeling. Chum Island was gorgeous, corals was amazing, and the lunch was delicious
Our guide was the best part of our experience and we would book with her again and again. She was wonderful, funny, and knowledgeable! We had a great time and thought this was such a cool experience!
Banana was at communication and explaining to us what to expect. They were in time to pick me up. Clean, new van with air conditioner. Great boat ride, lots of good food. I great solo experience with Banana. Thank you so much for a wonderful excursion.
It's a large group experience as there are 30+ boats all following the same itinerary. That said, we enjoyed the snorkeling and the time on the less crowded beach after lunch.
Lovely trip to the cham islands and our tour guide Ms Banana was amazing
This tour was an opportunity to slow down and enjoy a swim and snorkel. There was a very brief visit to the Cham island village where we walked through a museum with bleached preserved marine life and a model of the island. There wasn’t enough time to look through the local shops as we went to the museum. In hindsight, we would’ve skipped the museum and looked through the shops instead. We then went to snorkel which was lovely on a hot day and the weather was perfect to see the marine life. After that we had lunch and time to swim at the beach or lie on hammocks. It would’ve been good if the free time was back at the main village to shop around. Our tour guide Sky told us of the history of the island which was very interesting. Sky was very helpful and made sure the group was together and safe.
