This was the wonderful cruise around the island. The weather and waves prevented us to go to some spots in the northeastern part. However capitan and the team have adjusted our route so we could still enjoy the full experience. We've seen 2 reef sharks, several turtles, nice corals and plants and thousands colorful fishes of all kinds. We had 7 persons and 4 team members on board. The boat fit well for this amount and even more so the trip was private enough. All the team members were very friendly, responsive and professional and devoted enough time to each person onboard. They provided us with all the equipment needed. The food was cooked fresh right onboard, so it was pretty simple but still good. In the end we met sunset in a small cozy bay with emerald water in front of abandoned hotel and then headed back to the pier. Later on the company provide us with great underwater photo and videos. Highly recommend this private tour. Yes it is more expensive than regular ones for 30-40 people but the comfort and attention from these nice burmese guys are definitely worth it!

One of the best organized tours to visit Koh Nyangyuan Islands. The organizers will handhold you in every place where you need assistance. A well spent day!

The organization is top notch. The staff is attentive and friendly. The guys are professionals in their field and love their work. This is evident in every detail. The guys tried very hard, entertaining us. There were dances in the rain, gorgeous snorkeling in several locations and, of course, a climb to View Point Koh Nangyuan. Drinks such as: Coffee, tea, warmed us up after snorkeling in the rain. There were also cookies and fruits. Well, as a bonus, we managed to film a sea turtle 🐢. The price is affordable and even more than good, an adequate offer for the whole day.
