We were picked up by a special car from the hotel ~ the tour guide helped us take photos ~ we got an extra point for snorkeling ~ even though it was raining heavily, we still got to do what we should do ~

I loved it, the guides are super friendly and they are always attentive to you. The time you have to spend at each site is enough, and you have water and coffee at your service all the time.

Great tour! Definitely recommend! Pick up from the hotel, check-in at the office, wait for everyone and all go to the pier together. 5 stops. While we are going to the first, they offer a light snack, tea, coffee, cookies, water. The first stop is snorkeling near Nangyuan, there is a lot to see, beautiful. The second stop is Nangyuan Island itself, there is an observation deck and snorkeling on the beach. The observation deck is beautiful, the climb is not the most difficult. Snorkeling on the beach is super, beautiful. After that, lunch on the boat. The third stop is in Ko Tao Bay, there is a medium-sized turtle, also beautiful. The fourth was not Ao Leuk, but on the left next to it, nothing special, relief corals, different colored fish. The fifth and last stop is in another bay, 2 huge turtles, beautiful! Then to the pier and transfer home. The guides are great, they show everything, they can drag you along with them, they help take spectacular photos. Overall, top notch!

The boatman is on time and it is convenient to board the boat just by swiping the QR code. Recommended! You can go to Turtle Island for air diving. Recommended
