サムイ島からスピードボートでアーントーン国立海洋公園への旅

Spectacular experience, kindness, comfort, and an incredible trip; everything indicated in the plan was fulfilled.

Speedboat trip to the National Park was fast and fun. Well organised, friendly crew. Lunch on the beach was delicious (only our Boat on this beach) Kayaking was fun but short. Would have loved more time in kayaks. Would reccomend though.

Great Trip. Guides were excellent. The food was subpar. The kayak was nice. Bring snacks. Water is provided throughout the whole trip.

Stunning locations, but unfortunately the tour was average at best. Think we had been blessed up to this point of our travels around Thailand with extremely well managed tours, and guides who went out of their way to make sure you were informed and had a great time. This was not that… Crammed into the speedboat - approx 70-80 people (some stuck at the front with no shelter from the sun or spray), and simply taken from crowded location to crowded location. Snorkelling was a small bay with hundreds of people jostling in the water and trying to dodge the speedboats cruising through the middle of them. The lagoon was beautiful, but you were part of a huge conveyor of people making their way up and down the steps… I think the reality is that the Marine Park is a victim of its own success…and that as another visitor, you’re part of the problem. A shame, as it’s undoubtedly beautiful.

The park was breathtaking, but the hike up one of the peaks is not for the faint of heart. Go see it, if you get the chance.

Had a good day out, boat wasn’t packed out so plenty of room. Dinner was good and plentiful. Bottled water included all day which was kept cool. Guys on the boat were good and informative. Stops included snorkelling, hiking to view points and kayaking, or time to chill on beach if preferred. Enjoyable day.

I'm always skeptical when I read negative reviews amid good comments. But now I would have liked to be able to read what follows! First of all, for anyone who has already made an excursion to Koh Phi Phi and its islands or Phang Nga bay, this adventure will not really bring you anything new or even you risk being disappointed. You pay double to be sure a max boat. 30 people and you find yourself on a boat of more than 70 people! No announcement of the program or safety instructions. The hubbub of passengers at the place continues without interruption. After 60 minutes of crossing, you arrive at a diving spot but there are around 10 boats already there so in total around 400/500 people in the water trying to see some poor fish. We wonder who is watching who! Then, second stop to see the lagoon. Don't ask me what it looks like because if I had wanted to go see it, I would have had to follow a procession of around 700 people this time. So instead, wait 40 minutes on a micro beach with two 2m wide strips of shade on each side. Then stop for lunch on a small beach without interest or possibility of swimming. A buffet that could have been good... Should I talk about the breaded fried chicken of questionable freshness?... Everyone back on the boat for a final kayak stop or a walk to a panoramic viewpoint. One or the other ! We choose kayaking with my 11 and 14 year old sons. We are given 1 kayak and two paddles and we set off until the boat literally sinks! I bring the canoe back with difficulty while my boys swim back into an area normally prohibited for swimming... They exchange the canoe for two new ones and we set off again for what is nothing other than a ridiculous stroll without a guide or anything interesting to look at apart from the plastic waste here and there. No monkeys like in the ad, no captivating seabed... Nothing! After a long wait, we leave for Koh Samui. On arrival, wait again for the van and finally return to the hotel. Throughout the day, we received no information about the islets where we stopped (not even their names!) or about the nature reserve in general. Still nothing ! I am very bitter. My normally really cool kids feel like they've wasted a day of vacation and I'm 700 beats per person more than the other passengers having paid for the other excursion planned for 70 people... Avoid this ad!!!

Brilliant day out, the Funny Day guides were fantastic and a great day was had be all on the cruise. Activities were well organised and lunch was tasty. Climb the mountain if you dare, hard work but worth it for the views. Monkeys a highlight !!!!

The best part of my trip was hiking to the viewpoint! It takes a while but wow breath taking. The boat was great and the staff were so nice. We loved the tour guide. The lunch they make you is amazing with an amazing view. The place were you kayak is just beautiful! Would highly recommend :) Happy to book for anyone on LStours_travel on instagram :)

Well organised day trip with lovely helpful & friendly guides. Unfortunately the sea state made for murky snorkelling conditions & bumpy boat ride back but that was due to monsoon time of year not the tour operators fault.
