Was a Beautiful trip.... one must do when in samui.... we were picked up from the hotel to the boat, we were greeted by the very friendly staff and Ron who was the manager. The boat was very nice with a friendly atmosphere. To our surprise they even made breakfast for us, which was so unexpected... we had a guide on the boat too.... Ron took us to some really nice hidden places where not many people have been. He guided us very very well and was so careful with all the safety on board.... the kids loved the kayaking..... and the best part was, we all got to enjoy as no one had to take photos, it was arranged with the boat, which was another surprise.... Then another highlight of this trip, lunch time.... the food was cooked on board.... and it was so so so good..... we were 16 of us on the boat and each one of us loved the food. Oh! Forgot to mention about the jacuzzi on the boat, it was awesome. Wonderful trip.... loved it, and would recommend everyone to do it.... Thankyou Ron and Thankyou to all the wonderful staff who took such good care of us ...

Had a great experience with amazing guides and staffes. Do not expect too far about having breakfast and lunch. I had a best Snorkeling in my life. Shouldve worn fins. Riding a speed boat was kinda scary when you leave, however, you are going to see yourself sleepzing in the boat when youre coming back.

Our day trip was fantastic—we had many of the sites to ourselves (due, sadly, to the many covid-related cancellations). The crew and guides treated us like royalty and brought us to amazing places. The sea kayaking through the looming limestone islands was a high point.
