From booking until the end of the activity, everything was straightforward. There were no confusing steps and the experience matched the description well. That's all I wanted from this trip.
We were traveling with older family members, so the larger boat was a comfortable choice. Everything was well organized and the scenery around Angthong was stunning. Boarding took a bit longer than expected, but the trip itself was excellent.
We had a wonderful experience on the Big Boat Trip to Ang Thong National Marine Park! One thing we really liked about this tour was the flexibility; you could choose between kayaking or hiking, which worked out perfectly since my friend didn’t want to kayak that day. We had a great time exploring the two islands on our own while the staff provided clear instructions and enough information on how to get up and down safely. The staff were all very friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable. They knew the best viewpoints for photos, what to see at each stop, and how much time was needed to explore and return on schedule. Lunch was served onboard — simple, local, and satisfying. Overall, it was a great experience, well organized, and definitely a tour you can confidently choose if you’re visiting Koh Samui or Ang Thong Marine Park!
Lovely day out even if the climb to the top of the mountain nearly killed me!! Staff were friendly and helpful
Kayaking was advertised, but it's only 15 minutes. The whole trips consists of 3 hours ultra slow boat ride, and 2 hours of transfer hotel<->boat. Our hotel was in an inconvenient location, so the transport to the boat did not want to pick us up, and they informed us about it late the evening before the trip. We had to arrange a cab. A few days before the trip I emailed them asking about vegetarian lunch options. Received no answer, and of course, I could only eat plain rice for lunch. I want my money back, thanks.
Thank you for booking with us and for taking the time to leave us a review. We appreciate your feedback on this and we will coordinate with the operator to improve the services that we provide to customers. We appreciate your kind understanding and cooperation. Thank you again!
Tour seemed well-organized and competently run, and for almost a full day was good value for money for me. One minor point was the food, which was decidedly mediocre on the day I went. I would have preferred fresh fruit or something similar.
We’re thrilled you had a good time!
Very good arrangement through out the tour, very good to bring along with kids! Will definitely recommend.
We’re thrilled you had a good time!
