Kind of a scam. Do not book.
The weather was bad yet the trip was not cancelled. We were supposed to go to 3 islands. The first ride was supposedly 40 min. It took 1.5 hr with severe bumps, everyone was totally soaked. Children were screaming. Everyone was shivering ( I caught a cold afterwards, which ruined my holiday). The crew acted as if that were normal.. The national park we were supposed to visit was closed due to the weather. So we paid to go to 3 islands and ended up in 1 with bad weather and terrible inedible food. Most people decided to take the first boat back at their expense, because the crew refused to interfere, claiming ‘you should talk to your agent where you booked the tour to get your money back’. My DECENT agent Viator refused to do anything about this.

Boat tour
Maya Bay is the first stop and was a beautiful place, a lot of tourists as expected but we had enough time there to look around and enjoy the surroundings. Next we went to Pileh Lagoon, which was very pretty. We then moved on to Viking Cave area to do some snorkelling, we had nearly an hour there to enjoy the many fish you could see (highly recommend taking a go pro to film). Then we finished off at Khai Nai island where dinner was given to us before we headed back to Phuket. All the tour operators were friendly and professional. Recommend this tour.

Nice tour, could be better
Overall this is a decent tour. The staff was very nice, helpful and friendly. It was very affordable as well. However, there were a few things that weren't that great. The tour uses a speedboat, which is fine, but it was a bit overcrowded for my taste. Several people had to sit on the back part of the boat and we were shoulder to shoulder. It wasn't rushed, but the timing was off from the schedule. I would recommend clarifying beforehand how much time will be spent in each place, so that you'll know. We were told we were not able to enter the lagoon area in Phi Phi due to low tide. There were longboats available for hire, but it was not included and required cash. Several of us had only brought a few hundred baht (for refreshments and tips) which wasn't enough, so we weren't able to go. There were also no towels provided. Lastly, a word of caution, the last stop to watch the sunset is literally Cat island...it's not just a name. There are cats EVERYWHERE. I personally didn't care for that, but it didn't bother others. They do provide, water, juice and fruit after the first stop and at the last stop there is dinner. The dinner was nice, there was sushi style salmon, chicken breasts and salad and a whole platter of fruit. They also offer you a glass of red wine. I think if you know these things ahead of time, you will have a great time, just a few things were disappointing to me.

Extremely adventurous with comfortness and maximum safety.
Have to say this. The tour guides are extremely friendly. I'm scared of water but they made me feel comfortable. I enjoyed a lot and I would come again if the time permits. Thank you so much for this wonderful opportunity.
