An unforgettable day

This excursion was the most beautiful day of our holiday in Thailand. The crew on the boat was lovely. We have seen an unimaginable amount of fish... Our organizer came to snorkel with us to show us sharks, turtles and fish. He took pictures underwater and sent them to us via WhatsApp. The meal was delicious with fantastic Thai cuisine. In addition we were 4 tourists on the boat..... Anyway, do it again. Thank you to all the team for a wonderful day

Great small group tour....

Great small group tour. Wonderful way to spend a day on the water (and in the water). The scenic views were awesome. The lunch was fresh and yummy. We’ve travelled most parts of the world and I gotta say, the chicken wings were next level. Fruits in the afternoon were super refreshing after a hour of snorkeling and exploring the reefs. The sunset dinner was the highlight on the upper deck.

Beutiful trip around Koh Tao

We loved our full day of snorkling, a trip packed with beautiful stops and we saw turtles, babyshark and heaps of corals:) Good food, nice boat, fun guide and a 10/10 sunset to finish it off. Highly reccomended, but don’t forget sunscreen;)🌞🌞

Formidable

Excellent Snorkeling day spent aboard a vintage wooden boat, with a dozen people. Professional crew, loaned equipment, good food and beautiful snorkeling spots to observe life-rich cores, turtles, rays and small blacktip sharks. I highly recommend
