I had a fantastic time exploring the islands. There were many breathtaking photo opportunities.
Pros:
The other tourists were friendly and fun
The tour was managed well, time wise.
The activities were fantastic, snorkeling, swimming in the ocean, sunbathing on the beach at bamboo island, etc all worth the visit
Cons:
The tour bus was a bit dirty and worn out (on other tours the tour bus is clean, new and the a/c works)
It takes Over an hour of riding around picking up other tourists, so if you’re the first pick up, be prepared for the long ride
The food at luch is just awful!!! I’m a vegetarian who is simple enough to please but there was hardly any thai food on the menu which is what I was expecting
The guides were simply obnoxious about sand on the boat, they even hose you off when you reinterpret from sea swimming and sunbathing g on the beach
No sandals or flip flops allowed on the boat. This I truly couldn’t understand. In other tours they don’t bother you about shoes or sand, clearly we are going to islands and some sand is involved, I mean, really?!?
Overall, the trip is good enough for the price but I’d shop around a little more.
