Just awful

Awful experience. Wacked my head on the boat, which made me bite my lip, so much blood, I was in so much pain but they didnt stop the boat, they were driving so fast. Wouldn't even slow down when my daughter asked them to. No health and safety, they were just laughing.

Poor experience

Absolutely shocking men who organised the trip. They drove the boat so fast in the choppy water and I hurt my head on the boat but they didn't care, didn't slow down and gave no help.

Full day speedboat tour

Well organised trip from pick up to dropping back off at hotel I did read some reviews about waiting to long at before boarding the speed boat I personally thought it wasn’t an over long wait The food was better than expected again after reading reviews I thought the last two snorkeling stops on the boat was excellent with regards the snorkeling and staff excellent Overall I would recommend the trip

Great experience!!

All very nice and organized very well from the pickup at the hotel upon arrival at the port, to the whole day itself. The places are really beautiful and the sea is top, the speedboat is a nice experience to try. If I have to strike a negative note is the time left in Koh Nangyuan (about 1 hour and a half) which in my opinion is the most beautiful place of all, because to go up to the viewpoint it takes a walk of about 20/25 minutes, plus the time in line waiting for people to take pictures and then the time to get off and in the end you have very little time and you can not see everything else (there is another bay after a very nice piece of walk that I would have liked to see but we were waiting to return!). I recommend going straight to the view point and then see everything else if there is time. All in all it was a top day! Thanks to all the staff

Fine, but not as expected.

The description doesn't match. The group was about 50 people, while we had deliberately chosen a tour with a smaller number of participants. And the number of stops is also wrong. We snorkeled in two places and then lunch on Koh Tao. Then a long stop on Koh Nang Yuan. And then back. Back on Koh Samui around 4 pm. Everything was well arranged on the boat and transport from the hotel.
