Great time. Hit all the spots listed. Only wish was that one of the crew members spoke flyer English and we were able to converse more.
Great trip from collection, to the tour and drop off! Guys were good and boat nice and smooth! Lovely lunch to finish!!

Even though it is a private hire the boat tour still follows the same route as group tours to Pig Island and Koh Tan the only advantage being that you don't have to wait for others. On the day we went the water quality in Koh Tan was very poor for snorkelling with lots of algae in the water so would have liked to have been given the option to go to another site where the water may have been clearer, trading time spent on pig island (around 1 hour) that was too long. That said the private hire is great value for a family or small group, the organisation from pick-up to drop-off was well organised, and the lunch provided on Koh Tan was simple but tasty
Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We truly appreciate your honest comments. We’re glad to hear that you found the private speedboat tour good value, well organised from pick-up to drop-off, and suitable for families or small groups. It’s also nice to know you enjoyed the lunch on Koh Tan. We sincerely apologise that the snorkeling conditions at Koh Tan were not ideal on the day of your trip. Sea conditions and algae levels can vary daily depending on weather and tides, and we understand your disappointment. Your suggestion about offering alternative snorkeling sites and adjusting time between Pig Island and snorkeling is very valuable, and we will certainly take this feedback into consideration to improve our private tour flexibility where possible. Thank you again for your constructive review. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you back to Koh Samui and provide an even better experience next time.

The communication with the tour operators was excellent and pick up went smoothly despite an unexpected festival and parade that blocked our driver from driving to our pickup location. He found us and escorted us to the van. We were happy to view the parade en route. The speedboat was well maintained and safely operated . The snorkeling was mediocre due to a recent rain, but that's nature! Lunch was pleasant and served at a beachfront restaurant on the island. We were returned to our drop off point on time.
Thank you very much for your feedback. Seems that you quite happy and satisfied in our services and over all. What is 2-stars which is still missing? Or the snorkeling was mediocre due to a recent rain, but that's nature! as you said. Best regards, Tony
