For once, this is an excursion where there is no need to get up at dawn 😁. They come to pick us up to take us to the dock. Wonderful day on board, all comforts with a crew that takes great care of us. Drinks, top-notch meals, as well as snacks and appetizers to enjoy while watching the sunset from the deck. The boat is magnificent. In the end, even though the weather did not provide visibility in the water as we would have liked, even without snorkeling, swimming was great and the atmosphere on board was too. For those who did not want to swim, there was still the option to fish from the deck. This is an excursion I would gladly do again, and in fact, there was an Australian with us who had already tried it last year and was coming back to do it again this year. Upon arrival at nightfall, some fireworks were also launched from the small cannon on the boat.
A magnificent day aboard this majestic boat, we docked on 2 wild beaches adorable and caring staff, excellent lunch buffet, snack fruit and ice, late in the day at sunset aperitif alcohol supplement with peanuts offered, and finally small fireworks, Things to do absolutely for a magical day
Have to say one of the best boat trips we’ve been on. Pickup from hotel was punctual, and a guide from start to finish with superb. The boat itself was very comfortable, with the space for everyone. Food and drink was included, what a great selection!! the crew were unbelievably generous with drinks, and snacks throughout the trip. Main meal was lunch a really delicious selection of Thai food. First stop on Koh Phangan what’s for swimming/snorkelling, and then we moved on to our longest stop on a beautiful beach. A third stop was for swimming/fishing, so overall a good selection activities to suit most people. Alongside that we travel close to the coastline seeing some amazing beaches/rock formations. Boat sets off around 11 am, and travels that’s a really nice pace, bringing you back in time to see the sunset. We were really lucky as on the day we went the sunset was amazing. To finish things off just as we arrive towards the port crew set off some fireworks. What a great day. NB drinks included or soft drinks/water, but it is possible to buy alcohol on the boat at a reasonable price
Beautiful boat. Relax atmosphere. Team set back for activities. Note that the framework is French. Why not 5 stars? Because of the let go for the cigarette on the boat, including framing.
Great Boat, Staff, Food & Service. Unfortunately due to weather conditions only could go to one side Koh Phangan - beach stop very crowded - hindsight would have preferred to stay on boat & swim from there. Fishing non event - only ever going to catch small fish. Very ‘bumpy’ ride back to Samui, buts hats off to the captain & crew who were alert & responsive to rougher conditions. Overall relaxing journey- however we would go to one island rather than multiple stops to allow us to explore more next time - personal choice! But the friendly, hospitable staff outweighs the inconvenience of the weather!
Good and nice djonk. The only thing I would complain about was that there was no snorkelling equipment "fins and cyclops " for children between 8-11 years. Just stayed at 1stop for snorkeling, but I would recommend for family or couples. Fresh toilets. Snorkeling is better in kho tao if you are more focused on it. Nice day at sea.
Excellent day spent on board this boat and this crew!!! A day filled with beautiful attention! Throughout the tour we were carefully welcomed and the meal is excellent! Me who travels a lot and is used to making excursions I can assure you that the food on board is excellent!! Everything is fresh!!! And quality!!! You can consume unlimited fresh fruit , drink unlimited cans of coca or other!! You are served a small cup of ice cream at 4:00 a.m. , you are entitled to gyozas on the way back ... in short that beautiful attention to make your day, full of memories! Bonus a small fireworks display at the end!! In short I recommend without hesitation and it is the best excursion of everything I could do in Thailand and for the 5th consecutive year! I'll be back. Thanks again 😉👍
Superb day aboard a beautiful typical wooden boat. Welcome by the crew great, and always with little care. We had a great day on board. Very nice meetings. Not too crowded, which allows you to make the most of it. The crew was very attentive, excellent lunch with several traditional dishes, fruit platter for dessert, unlimited drinks. Stop swimming and snorkeling, then land on Ko Pha Ngan Island to enjoy the beach, swimming. Then back on board, small snack on our return, then later small gyoza and sauce, then small cup of ice cream... really TOP. Little nod to Barbara, our new friend straight from Austria 🇦🇹 A big THANK YOU to all the crew and team. I highly recommend this company 👍⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
Good organizer. The boat and crew showed their best side. A nice day at f the water, unfortunately we could not ride the tour.not as planned that it was very undulating. So we used the time to relax.
had such a blast on this boat trip with my friends! it was relaxing and fun with 3 stops along the way for swimming, snorkeling, and more. we soaked up every minute. the lunch was filling and delicious and they kept us well fed with snacks and light bites throughout the trip. it ended with a fabulous view of the sunset along with fireworks! truly a perfect day. the best part was the places the boat took us were quite peaceful and quiet. we were the only boat tours at all stops, which made for a nice experience.
