The trip was well organised with good multi language guides, but there was almost an hr waiting around at office for all to arrive. Boat was full, slightly crowded but ok. Not much time on 1st island especially if you want to do extra activities. Ok beach with bars. Snorkelling was good visibility, but not much coral, just fish to see & you need to get away from crowd. Lunch on next island was good. Last Beach after lunch was ok, but again felt rushed. You had to pay to use a toilet!
Great trip to beautiful islands. We were picked up probably earlier than necessary as we had an hour wait at the shop. They do provide refreshments though. First stop at coral island was wonderful, wish it was a longer stay though. Lots to do, great bar/restaurant. Free toilet and shower. Only 1hr 20 here though. Next stop snorkelling for 40 mins. No coral just rocks but at least this way means people cannot stand on and destroy coral. Still heaps of fish to see. Lunch was a great little tractor/trailer ride to restaurant - good fun. Tasty Thai buffet and fruit. Third stop was 1hr at a beach for swimming. Wate was too rough for snorkeling (large waves) and there was no shade. Limited umbrellas for rent but nowhere near enough. People had to seek shade in the rocks or cafe/shops. Overall a great little trip but a little rushed.
It was a very successful trip. The snorkeling was great, the team was funny and extremely helpful and most importantly there was finally enough time to enjoy the beautiful beaches! I would recommend this excursion!
Cheap trip is a cheap trip. Poorly organized in many ways. One size masks for snorkeling does not fit for all, so had to skip snorkeling event at snorkeling tour. Either masks for children, though they sell this snorkeling trip for children and advertises that masks are provided.
The experience of this trip is VERY nice. Raya Island: 1) The water on Raya Island is extremely blue and clear, I have never seen such clear water. 2) There are a lot of colorful fish around me when I swim and snorkel. I really like this feeling. Coral Island: 1) The water on Coral Island is also highly clear, so it's easy to see many beautiful fish when I swim. But beware that there are a lot of sea urchins in the swimming area. (My experience: If you see a large rock, there must be several sea urchins around it) 2) There is plenty of time for tourists to enjoy free swimming. Service: 1) The crew and tour guide are very dedicated, which I admire very much. 2) The lunch is rich and tastes good.
