Description

I’m sure this would have been a nice trip. Ahead of time, I asked what time we would be finished and was told 2:00 pm, with our ship departing at 4. But when we got there, I was told 2:30-3:00. Well, our ship’s last tender left at 3:00, so we thought it best not to attend. So it was a combination of errors. Viator would not refund our money, so we weee glad to cost was low.
Thank you for your feedback, and we’re truly sorry for the confusion and inconvenience you experienced. We completely understand how important timing is, especially when coordinating with a cruise schedule. We sincerely apologize for the inconsistency in the information provided regarding the tour’s finishing time, and how this ultimately affected your ability to join the experience. While we’re glad to hear the cost was not too high, we regret that you were unable to attend what should have been an enjoyable trip. We also understand your frustration regarding the refund process and appreciate you sharing this with us.

We’re very sorry again for your experience and hope we may have the opportunity to welcome you in the future under better circumstances. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
To short time and to little to do or see. Snorkling was nothing compared with other experiences in Thailand, the wather was muddy and little to see. Pig Island was ok, but nothing to do..
Thank you for taking the time to share your honest feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience felt too short and that the activities and sights did not meet your expectations. We understand your disappointment regarding the snorkeling conditions, as visibility can vary depending on weather and sea conditions, and we regret that it was not comparable to your previous experiences in Thailand. We appreciate your comments about Pig Island as well, and we understand that the limited activities there may not have been as engaging as hoped. Your feedback is valuable and helps us better communicate what guests can expect and where improvements may be needed. We hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a smoother and more enjoyable experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
If you want to snorkel, you should inform yourself beforehand if the weather conditions leave this too, otherwise man/woman could be disappointed! Big praise to the women who prepared the lunch buffet - super fine😃 thank you
Overall the trip was very nice & I’d recommend it. The only 2 minor cons are 1.) they rushed us in the morning (7:30 pickup) and then let us wait for more than an hour for the boat that leaves at 9:10 (the drive was only 5 mins). 2.) the lunch was chicken with rice, vegetarian option was only rice and veggies, so had to buy more food separatly.
Thank you very much for your honest and balanced review. We’re really pleased to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall and would recommend it, that truly means a lot to us. We sincerely apologize for the inconvenience you experienced in the morning. We understand how frustrating it must have felt to be rushed for pickup and then wait over an hour before departure. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will review our timing and coordination to improve the experience. We also appreciate your comments regarding the lunch, especially the limited vegetarian option. We agree that vegetarian guests should have a more satisfying and complete meal, and we will share this with our team to improve future arrangements. Thank you again for your constructive feedback, it helps us do better. We hope to welcome you again for an even smoother experience next time. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team
