Grand Canyon South Rim Day Tour

I haven’t stopped thinking about how well organised this tour was, they thought of everything. I rarely write reviews but I truly think Sea Star deserves 5 star reviews here. From someone who has lived in South East Asia, this tour was one of the best run and well organised tours I’ve ever been on in SEA. The drop off and check in was seamless, clear instructions and direction upon arrival to check in and collect flippers. Funny tour guides who made us laugh throughout the day and feel welcome. Food provided on arrival and departure as well as stunning waters. The catamaran was a definite plus, loved the whole day, would recommend. Definitely worth the money even if it looks steep.

Fantastic trip beutiful Coral great food plenty of it Only disappointment was the way mokan people kept their beach went there to buy of them but as soon as I saw cans bottles trash all about I thought not my Aussie dollars they are staying in my pockets Guys a big downer they want tourist bucks cleanup there act .Loved the history talk befoe the trip about these nomadic sea gypsys really got excited about seeing them I think your cruise group would have the power to say hey cleanup your act or else. Other wise trip couldn't be faulted would definitely recommend and hopefully hear this area is bought back to pristine beach

This is one of the best run tours I've ever taken. Not because of the designation itself but just how organized and efficient they are. If these guys could run America...hey, the world, the place would be perfect! From the timely pickup, to the crazy (as there's a bunch of people) but super quick check in, the fun guides, the attention to detail (new mouth guards given for every snorkel - never had that before, defogger for your masks, flippers, drinks, fresh/nice towels, snacks after each stop, breakfast/lunch/dinner). Most tours just give you a boat, some food, and old equipment so I appreciated all the little touches. When you come back they've printed every photo from the trip and have them in frames (not sure how they did that so quickly). Seems a bit of a waste (printer ink/paper/manpower) as only a fraction were bought. Maybe invest in TV screens with the photos on, but again, amazing efficiency. The food is not amazing but it's endless so you wont go hungry. I did the Surin tour by recommendation of the travel agent I booked with in town and the snorkeling was great...some of the best colors and abundance of fish I've seen in years.

The snorkeling is lovely and the staff is so kind but the boat ride is awful. They cram a bunch of people onto high benches with straight backs so it’s very uncomfortable for the entire very rough ride. Also it’s chaotic and unorganized when you arrive. There’s a lot of waiting around in the hot Sun. If there is another option to get to Surin islands I’d recommend taking that.

Beautiful snorkeling. Boat packed like sardines. Food was not good. Staff was mocking people of the Mock village, found that unprofessional and insensitive. No real personal interaction with the staff. Would choose a different tour option next time.
