Excellent service. The staff were amazing, especially Joe. Nothing was to much trouble. We felt very well looked after. The tours was fantastic, the snorkeling was brilliant, so many different fish and corals.

Our second trip with this company, and another home run! We came back to Thailand, but this time they picked us up from our hotel in Koh Phangan - I mean literally, they brought the boat to our specific hotels beach, and backed up tot he sand! We simply walked out of our rooms onto the sand, and onto the boat! Such a nice boat, new clean, stocked with drinks, the most friendly staff! We went to Koh Tao - OMG. Jumping in the water in Koh Tao was like jumping into an aquarium of fish! Above, below, all around, fish of every color and zize, incredible! At the end of the day, one of my kids commented "we should go back to Koh Samui early" and the captain said, "I'll take you. We can wait 30-40 minutes for you to pack your luggage. Why waste time with a ferry, we have a boat now."! So we packed up, they helped us carry our bags onto the boat, and off we went! I booked a hotel in Koh Samui on route (a 25 minute ride), and the staff had a taxi/van waiting for us in Samui to take us to our hotel. Incredible service, above and beyond, simply the best! If you go to Samui or Phangan, this is the company to hire for 5-star VIP experiences, 110%!
As an infrequent diver I was a bit nervous about remembering everything (how do I put on a weight belt again?). But I needn’t have worried, as literally everything is done for you. All you have to do is put on the BCD (they help with this too, as well as de-fogging your mask, helping you with fins etc) and jump in. I was the only diver on the boat - everyone else was snorkelling - and so I essentially had a private lesson with Bastion, the instructor, who was fantastic and put me at my ease. We saw plenty of cool stuff including a turtle as well as masses of the usual reef fish. Cara’s communication was first rate. Every detail is carefully thought through and designed to remove any niggles from your day. Food was surprisingly good and the staff were amazing. All in all a top notch experience, highly recommended.
Wow what a fantastic experience! Communication and customer service from Cara pre trip was excellent - small touches like asking where our actual villa was and collecting us directly, rather than the nearest “pick up” location, made a great start to the trip. The group was small (max 14) so with 5 staff supporting on the boat meant excellent personal customer service, and one guide/diver per family. Our guide, Mr Bastian, was a star - hugely knowledgeable and eager to share his passion for marine life, pointing out where to focus throughout each dive. The 3 snorkel dives were each very different , but all fantastic - we even got to see a reef shark which was awesome. All in all an amazing trip and absolutely worth the price . You may find lower price trips, but they won’t compare or come near to 100 Degrees East - thoroughly recommended and would go again without a doubt. Thanks Cara and team 👏 👏
I cannot recommend this trip highly enough. It was extremely well organised, and we felt very safe. They took us to the most beautiful reefs and it was the best snorkelling experience I’ve ever had. Our children aged 13 & 10 thoroughly enjoyed it.
During your holiday you are lucky to find an activity that you recount to friends days, weeks or even months after your holiday has ended. This was one of those activities. It was professional, interesting and definitely memorable. Very highly recommended and thank you to the owners and staff for the memories.
It was an amazing day out. From the induction at their office, the boat trip across to the islands. The staff were very knowledgeable, helpful and made you feel comfortable. Awesome lunch provided. Explained so much about the marine life that you would see.
From the moment of booking to the post-trip farewell, Cara and her team were professional, knowledgeable and fun - quickly creating a great relationship with us. Stunning locations to dive finding the less busy areas. They even had prescription facemasks for this with glasses! Thanks guys!
Absolutely worth the money. We did 2 dives at Koh Tao with Jason as our guide and him and the team were outstanding. Excellent equipment, extremely knowledgable, great food, went to amazing spots. The dives were incredible, we saw so much and Jason really knows how to find the most interesting things- so many nudibranches! And a big shark as a bonus. We also did the ang thong trip and dive and it was brilliant as well. We did another dive trip to sail rock with silent divers and they were nowhere near as good, more like a factory with overcrowded boats and bad equipment. Cannot recommend 180 degrees enough.
Amazing day. So well organised, lovely staff and the best vegetarian food we’ve had in the island. Absolutely recommend!
