Impressive scenery and great people

We had a tour just for us...which surprised us positively as it was not cancelled. Everything was organized tip-top. There were great impressions and it was not crowded that day. It's worth the low season.

Nice time, room for improvements

We went to 5 places on this trip, all very beautiful especially the Hong lagoon kayak trip through the caves. We arrived at the port as scheduled but we didn't leave the port until nearly an hour later. The staff acknowledged that they were running a bit late but proceeded to talk through the itinerary in detail. Each place was jam packed with tourists. There were a few really inconsiderate, selfish and disrespectful tourists in the group, not listening to Moo Moo our tour leader, asking to bring alcohol to Panyee island which is a Muslim community, smoking on the speedboat in front of other people. Moo Moo our tour leader was great, he was charismatic and energetic but you can tell that the rude tourists were wearing him down too in the end. Also we informed the company in advance of our vegan and gluten free (coeliac disease) dietary requirements and unfortunately we didn't have a great lunch experience like other people. We were unsure of what we could eat as there were no dietary information next to the food. It took a while to be told that the vegetable stir fry was safe for us to eat with no soy sauce which we had with rice. Fortunately we were not ill. We were brought out a plate of salad each but with salad sauce which likely contained egg which we didn't eat. We went on an island hopping tour from Krabi and we were given 2 vegan & GF dishes in separate tupperware just for us to have which made us feel very safe. Overall we had a nice time and feel the tour could be improved if there was less time waiting around in the beginning and if more effort was put into lunch options for those with dietary requirements.

Really great day out...

Really great day out seeing some beautiful islands only accessible by sea. Nice to go on the little canoes too. Lunch was a bit cold but I am not a big fan of buffet for this reason
