“This was a really great experience overall. We were picked up by our cruise port with no problems, they sent us the license plate ahead of time which I appreciated. On the way there, our shuttle got a flat tire and a new shuttle arrived within 10 minutes. At the meeting point, the area was a little run down but was fine.

I could see being disappointed if you got another seat. However, I…”

3.Phuket: Phi Phi, Maya, and Maiton by Luxury Yacht with Lunch

Cruise from Phuket on a spacious catamaran to Phi Phi, Pileh Lagoon, Maya Bay and Maiton. Expect snorkeling, a longtail boat ride, Thai buffet lunch, clear kayak, sea slide and five edited photos. Guides speak English, Chinese and Thai. Hotel pickup depends on your booking option.

“Mike the guide was very helpful, friendly and accommodating. The boat trip and activities were amazing and the snorkelling with so many fishes - such a great experience! Maya was shut (off season) However that did not spoil the trip and it was beautiful in the long tail boats *only comment I would say is this trip may be difficult for anyone with mobility issues due to how you transfer on and off the boat. Getting off at the end is a high step onto a tyre and pull up onto the side”

“The weather was extremely bad and the crew knew that beforehand. We were not allowed to cancel the tour despite the weather warning. As soon as we boarded the boat, we were quickly cast off and told that it was very windy and that we would not be able to sail to certain destinations on the tour. There we were, trapped on the boat for 8 hours in wind gusts of 57km/h and total swell. The tour was a disaster, a real rip-off! At least the DJ was good, playing the Titanic song to match the situation.”

He was friendly, patient, and incredibly attentive. He took beautiful photos for us, made sure we were always comfortable, and gave us space whenever we needed it. His warmth and professionalism truly elevated the entire experience. The Hong Islands are stunning, and this tour is one we'll never forget. Highly recommend, especially with Leen as your guide!”

“Nella descrizione vi è scritto escursione di lusso, ma di lusso non ha nulla. Una giornata massacrante tra punti di ritrovo, trasportati con un camion, cibo servito in ciottoli e di plastica. Era un catamarano e non uno yacht. Igiene zero, poltrone sporche. Insomma, tanto tempo sprecato con spiegazioni che potevano essere fatte durante il tragitto.”
