The best day trip - We were picked up from our hotel and transported to the starting point on the coast which took approximately one hour. It was a very hot day and you need to be prepared with hats, sunscreen and towels. We had the most fabulous day, felt safe at all times. The food was plentiful and delicious, it was a treat. All the team were polite and helpful. Our guide was Haap, he was full of information and showed us so much wildlife, all sorts of fish, bats, monkeys and a small snake. We highly recommend this tour if you are coming to Phuket it’s the best day out.

Bioluminescence tour- AMAZING!! - Words cannot even describe how amazing our day with 5 star marine was. It was absolutely magical! The bioluminescence was a bucket list moment for many of us so we were totally blown away by that! And canoeing through caves into hidden lagoons was out of this world! The whole day was just incredible and I don’t think we could ever top it.
