What a great day!

Very much enjoyed our Hong Island Snorkeling Tour. The tour was well organized and we got to see quite a lot throughout the tour. Wonderful photo ops throughout and the beach at Hong Island was stunningly beautiful. Definitely worth going there if you have some time to explore the area!

We preferred to have a long-tail boat, all to ourselves

We preferred to have a long-tail boat, all to ourselves, maximum availability of the driver, we could have at our pleasure time to devote to the various sites we visited. even land on beaches that were not provided for by the tour. lovely places. Very funny note .... we suffered the theft of breakfast by an organized family of monkeys
