The store is professional and the tour guide is attentive. It is worth recommending. The itinerary is as described, including snorkeling and fishing. It is very convenient to buy the itinerary first. The store will contact you first. It is worth recommending to everyone

The lunch was delicious. We did not participate in the self-funded activities but the whole snorkeling experience was still very good. Although the store contacted us only the day before, we took the initiative to find them. If you want to contact the store, you can use WatsApp to add a phone call, or ask the manual customer service for assistance.

The trip was cancelled due to strong winds and waves and was postponed. The tour guide Senna was very professional, young, attentive and interesting. This is an English tour group with 10 participants in a small car, and everyone had a great time. I was originally scared when walking on the seabed, but I felt safe with a one-on-one diver leading the way. It was very fun, but the coral scenery was piled up and was very ordinary. This trip is worth it. 🥰👍There was a free aerial video provided at Yuntui Island on the last leg, which was really a big surprise.

Seawalk is a very good experience. You can breathe normally through your nose underwater, which is awesome! The entire package includes professional photography, videography, lunch, accommodation pick-up and island hopping transportation. The only drawback is that the stay was too short and there was not enough time to swim on the island.

Everything is ok. The boat drivers are enthusiastic and take good care of customers. The 3 islands are so beautiful. Lunch is delicious, full, and high quality.

Amazing day filled with so many different activities. Alothough we didn't catch many fish, it was still nice to spend the day on the water. Includes two chances to snorkel at two different places and you'll be able to see a good amount of coral and sea life. Even though there were different options offered for extra money, there was no pressure to do any.
