A real snorkeling trip - Ok, there is a shower on board and the bath water was not going... but these are the only two points against. First, small group, max 14 people. There were about ten of us. Then the guide accompanies you everywhere and is always with you. Unless you go about your own business. But above all, you stop in the places for the necessary time: minimum 45 minutes. But minimal. And also at the end of the day you will feel nauseous about snorkeling: four or five nice long stops. The food is great and in the evening sunset over the sea enjoying skewers and mojitos. Water and carbonated drinks (cola and sprite) provision ). If I have to find other flaws in it, you're not told to bring insect repellent. But this is a demerit of the app I booked with. During the first stop to reach the viewpoint you are in the jungle and the mosquitoes feast cheerfully... only their meal is you. Also during the first stage the water is shallow and you risk getting hurt with coral. Especially since it would be forbidden to use fins or shoes. While snorkeling they give you mask (with new mouthpiece) but not fins. This is not well specified either, but this is also a demerit of the app. For the rest: expensive but worth every penny spent

Perfect. - Couldn't be more pleased! First we were 40 min delayed because the ferry we took to the island came 1 hour late at land due to the burning boat they tried to help. Despite the fact that we missed the initial security review and they were ready to leave at least 20 minutes before we arrived, they were waiting for us. We greatly appreciated that, because we had no opportunity to postpone the trip. And the trip was fantastic. The staff are friendly, helpful and better in English than usual, they helped us with means so that the snorkel masks do not dug, and were concerned about going to areas where there were not so many others. We were a total of 17 pieces, and all got seen stoooore turtles several times, as well as small baby sharks. It was incredibly cool. So much more, there were many big and nice fish in the water! The guide knows exactly where to go to find what we want to see. Incredibly impressed and grateful 🙏🏼 food and drink available all the time. They took lots of pictures underwater too, which they are going to send - look forward to seeing

Fabulous snorkelling trip - We had a brilliant day yesterday with Two and the rest of the crew. Called in to many spots and saw lots of fish plus, swimming with Two as a guide, giant turtles and sharks. The food was amazing; a buffet with six mains plus rice available plus separate vegetarian options. Would highly recommend 😀👍

Wonderful day - We had a wonderful day on the boat. We saw several sea turtles and sharks! The day after the guide provided us with photos and videos of us and our underwater encounters. The guide and the other hosts were very friendly and attentive to all of us. It was very windy but they re-routed the tour and provided motion sickness pills, so it was still lovely. The food was good and generous. And it was nice to be on a smaller boat with less people - totally worth the extra money.

Fun day - Really enjoyed our day. Started a lil slow and got. But once things/people got organized it was great. Stopped at 4 different spots and got to snorkel with baby reef sharks and turtles. Lots of fish too. The guide was super friendly and really wanted the best for all. We had 17 people on board and this is the only way I would wanna go. The other boats were packed with people.. makes it hard to snorkel with tons of people. The meals were pretty good too. Thanks again for a great day captain and crew 💜

Overvaluation - Guide not listening to the level of divers. Proper meal without more. No tip for snorkelling Choose another airline at a lower cost

Nice group size but room for tour improvement - We took this tour during a honeymoon stop in Koh Tao. Unfortunately, we didn’t have great weather so the program had to be adjusted and water was choppy/windy, but that wasn’t the main issue. Service was brusque and hurried, with no one bothering to adjust snorkel masks to our sizes, for example, and the main guide yelling at everyone that we were bad swimmers after letting us loose in deep open water. At times it was chaotic, and they let us choose whether or not to wear life jackets. At the first deep water stop we opted not to (we can swim and did not know how deep it was or how long we would be stopped) and it was brutal - both my husband and I had to return to the boat after several minutes of struggling to adjust our cheap masks while treading rough water. I tried to go to the lead guide (Mr. Too) to adjust my mask and he said that I lied about being a strong swimmer and then swam away from me. Later in the tour, I tried again with a life jacket and it totally changed the experience. Positives were that it was a nice smaller group size than other boats (just 14 people that day) and lunch was nice. Scenery is stunning, and I saw harmless reef sharks, a huge turtle, and many beautiful fish. Main con is the boat ladder - it is not only too short, but the metal is unprotected and has sharp edges. Several people in our group, including us, cut their hands and legs trying to climb back in. This seems like a quick fix and one the guide is clearly aware of so I hope it gets taken care of since it wasn’t pleasant to be bleeding on the boat. I’d recommend exploring other snorkel tour options.

So unorganised and didn’t give us what we paid for - To start with they didnt pick us up from our hotel. We got told 9:30am pick up and when it got to 10:10am and having no response from them we walked to the head office instead. Fortunate that we did because they were ready to leave without us. Then our boat set off without a guide so we had to go back for him. They forgot to bring on food, snorkeling gear and water so we waited another 45 minutes for that. We paid extra for kayaking and paddleboarding which never happened and got told we dont offer refunds under any circumstances. After the tour we questioned the extra we paid for kayaking and they blamed the weather and the amount of other boats instead of saying we were 90 minutes late setting off so didn't have time. The only saving factor was that Nang Yuan is stunning but every other trip also goes there.
