We were a group of eight people. The tour guide was very considerate and helped us prepare seats for eight people to sit together before boarding the boat. Unexpectedly, the tour guides and captains on the boat would sing Li Shengjie's songs and sing along with us. It was so cute!

It’s fun. The boat is not as luxurious as expected but it’s still nice. There are only 15 people in the group, so each group can have its own corner and sit very comfortably. The weather was very good that day and there were not too many waves. No one got seasick. The tour guide spoke Mandarin and was very friendly. He always took the initiative to help take photos. However, the boat is relatively slow, so there is not much time to stay on Emperor Island to play in the water, and Coral Island has a lot of tourists. We tried snorkeling, slides, and canoes (there were other paid activities, but we didn’t do them, and the prices were actually quite cheap). On the final return trip, we also went fishing, and the fish caught by the crew were directly made into sashimi! In addition, the breakfast at the pier (with hot porridge!), lunch and snacks on the boat are all delicious ~ worth the price!

We participated in the diving experience led by OotDy instructor. The underwater scenery was super beautiful, there were many coral fish, and we were lucky enough to encounter a school of sardines. OotDy’s diving guidance and photography skills were excellent. I highly recommend it to everyone! We went on a diving tour led by OotDy, and it was a lot of fun! The underwater views were amazing, and OotDy's diving guidance and photography skills were really impressive. We definitely recommend this tour to everyone!

I was worried because it was a speedboat, but since Racha Island is not far away, I went there without any motion sickness. I don't know if it's because of the motion sickness medicine I took in advance, but haha. At Phi Phi Island, there were so many people that it was difficult to swim, but at Racha Island, there weren't many people, so it was spacious and comfortable to snorkel. The water was so clear that I could see a lot of fish as soon as I got into the sea. It was like an aquarium! I recommend it~~

There is a hotel pick-up service, and the lunch is delicious. I only went to 2 islands, so I have plenty of time. The staff is also very friendly. Recommended
