Tour guide Leo gives more than five stars! ! Like it. The people are very kind, the service is very considerate, the explanations are very detailed, and the Chinese is very good! We also helped the group members find a place to rest on the island! Like 👍It’s a pity that I took several guests to another island later, so I didn’t get a tip! . Note: Due to different translations of island names, some islands will be repeated when signing up for a sea tour! . Thank you again Leo👍👍👍👍

This underwater walk is a very good experience. We gather at the sunset beach and then take a speedboat to experience the underwater walk. The whole process is fast and smooth.

Booked a trip for the island tour for a family of 4 from Singapore . I would highly recommend this tour. We were welcomed with a pick up from Mr Tee. From our first communication via WhatsApp to everything in between , Mr Tee was an incredible host . He speaks fluently in English and that’s not easy to get in Vietnam . He was punctual and prompt in all correspondences . The tour was highly organised as Mr Tee explained everything that will be happening preparing us for what is to come. I was quite sea sick so chose to stay in for the first island and he accompanied me and my daughter and advised us to go to the deck to take pictures of the island. He ensured the whole group was kept safe at all times . We thoroughly enjoyed the trip. The van was comfortable with sufficient water , boat was well equipped with safety equipments and weather was great. We also had a seafood lunch which was very extensive .Thank you Mr Tee for hosting us .You did such an amazing job !!!

Nice relaxing tour, definitely recommend. Only complaint would be the number of stops back to our accommodation at the end of the day took what felt like forever, not back until after 7pm not 5pm as per itinerary. Tour itself was great 👍
