Could have been fun, but we actually were not able to go.
I’m sure this would have been a nice trip. Ahead of time, I asked what time we would be finished and was told 2:00 pm, with our ship departing at 4. But when we got there, I was told 2:30-3:00. Well, our ship’s last tender left at 3:00, so we thought it best not to attend. So it was a combination of errors. Viator would not refund our money, so we weee glad to cost was low.

To short, to little to see and do.
To short time and to little to do or see. Snorkling was nothing compared with other experiences in Thailand, the wather was muddy and little to see. Pig Island was ok, but nothing to do..

Who absolutely loves snorkeling...
If you want to snorkel, you should inform yourself beforehand if the weather conditions leave this too, otherwise man/woman could be disappointed! Big praise to the women who prepared the lunch buffet - super fine😃 thank you

Very nice daytrip :)
Overall the trip was very nice & I’d recommend it. The only 2 minor cons are 1.) they rushed us in the morning (7:30 pickup) and then let us wait for more than an hour for the boat that leaves at 9:10 (the drive was only 5 mins). 2.) the lunch was chicken with rice, vegetarian option was only rice and veggies, so had to buy more food separatly.
