The islanda are paradise but the food was basic and crew not attentive

This was our second tour and what a difference. The first tour to Phi Phi Islands was 10 out of 10 all-around experience. This one was nothing like that, everything was rushed and we were just numbers to them not people. Food was very basic and terrible...I regret not going for a premium one as the journey is part of the whole experience. I wouldn't use this company again myself.

Operator response

Your comments about the rushed pace, the quality of the food, and the overall feeling of the experience are very important to us. This is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver, and we sincerely regret that you felt like just a number rather than a valued guest. We will be reviewing your feedback with our team to better understand what went wrong and to make improvements where needed. Your suggestion regarding the premium option is also appreciated, as we strive to offer experiences that cater to different preferences while maintaining quality across all tours. Thank you again for bringing this to our attention, and we truly hope you might consider giving us another opportunity in the future to provide you with the experience you originally expected.

Best trip we have taken, highly recommended!

Highly recommended trip. Enjoyed everything from start to finish. Perfect length of time spent in each location. Tour guide was so welcoming & full of knowledge. The staff on the boat were also brilliant, not to mention the transfer being very smooth. We enjoyed every second of this trip & thought it was very good value for the money. Especially with the tasty breakfast, lunch & fruit along with drinks supplied. Thank you 😊

Great tour.

Very well organized trip to both the islands, the guide was fabulous and so was the captain and deck hand, all very courteous. I was very impressed as you don’t get much for £40 these days but to be picked up from your hotel and taken to the boat and quite a good quality lunch as well is worth five stars. My only criticism is on Wed 15th Jan we were picked up from Kalima and I thought the taxi driver supplied was dangerous on the road and I drive myself in Phuket, but that aside the boat tour was fab.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the well-organized trip to both islands and that our guide, captain, and deckhand made such a positive impression with their courtesy and professionalism. We sincerely apologize for your concern regarding the taxi transfer on the day of your tour. Your safety is extremely important to us, and we will share this feedback with our transport partners to ensure standards are met consistently. Thank you again for your honest and thoughtful review. We hope to welcome you again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Snorkelling day trip

Fun day out with snorkelling equipment provided. Racha island was very small with little to do there but were taken to a bay to snorkel which lasted 40 minutes. Whilst this was good, it was the only bit of snorkelling for the whole day trip. Coral island had more going on with a beautiful beach and blue sea. Any seats by the main bar you were only able to sit in if you paid extra despite buying drinks from the bar. There were deck chairs off to the side which you could use for free though. Here we were hoping for more snorkelling but it was very busy and was not much to see. Make the most of snorkelling back at Racha island. Lunch was provided which was a buffet style lunch and it was nice. Was a good day trip but was expecting more snorkelling.

Operator response

Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback. We are glad to hear that you enjoyed the day trip, the buffet lunch, and the opportunity to snorkel at Racha Island and explore Coral Island. We also appreciate your comments regarding the amount of snorkeling and the seating arrangements, and we understand how this may have affected your experience. Your feedback is very important to us and will help us improve future trips to better meet our guests’ expectations. We hope that despite these points, you were able to enjoy the beauty of the islands and have memorable moments during your trip. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

Rained Out

Unfortunately it rained for most of the day and we were unable to enjoy any of the planned activities on Coral Island. Did enjoy brief snorkeling opportunity on Racha. Seems to be well organized- just unfortunate about the weather.

Operator response

Dear Tony_G, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. We sincerely regret that the weather wasn't cooperative during your tour. Unpredictable weather is certainly a challenge we sometimes face, and we understand how it can impact the enjoyment of our activities. It is heartening to hear that you were able to enjoy the brief snorkeling at Racha Island and appreciated our organizational efforts. We continually strive to provide memorable experiences regardless of circumstances, and your feedback helps us in this endeavor. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back for a sunnier and more enjoyable day at Coral Island. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Best Regards.
