The day started by being... - The day started by being picked up in a luxury van and taken to the marina. Our 2 guides, Vivian and Kuang were amazing. They were so much fun. The rest of the boat crew were also very helpful. The islands Phi Phi Lai, Maya, Phi Phi Don and Bamboo Islands were great. Thank you for an awesome day.

Highly recommend - Highly recommend this trip. Very well organised and the crew were amazing, so friendly and welcoming. Lots of opportunities to get off the boat and snorkelling was really fun! The only thing I would say is that at times it was difficult to hear what was happening next as one crew member was speaking English, one was speaking Russian and another was speaking Thai all at the same time over the noise of the boat but all in all a fantastic trip

Value for money. - Amazing trip. Very good value for money. You are not packed on the boat, everyone has a seat and a life jacket. We felt we had enough time at each stop to see things. Staff are very good and friendly, the main tour guide 'Ami' was good fun.

Awesome trip - great guide and driver - Awesome experience. The guides were great. Great energy. Very caring. Made everyone comfortable. Took good care of us. The islands were beautiful. Not sure what happened to the tiger sharks, but really enjoyed the beach photo shoot. The boat captain was a great driver. The waves rocked me to sleep. Beautiful views.

Beautiful destinations, but too many people everywhere - The emerald water in the 'swimming pool in the sea' was amazing, as was the scenery. We had comfortable room on the boat, but it was disappointing to be in such a big crowd of boats and swimmers at every destination. At Maya Bay, the walk through the mangroves was much longer than expected, and the boardwalk was as crowded as a shopping street before Christmas! At Bamboo Island, there were so many people in the water that there was hardly room to swim! At one of the Phi Phi islands, however, there were lots of fish, and huge, live corals, and our guide was very kind, towing me and another snorkeler along as a 'human tuk tuk' as he called it - luxury!

Nice islands, crowded boat, long day - The islands, and especially Maya Bay, were beautiful, but the boat was packed and there were crowds of people everywhere we went. Lunch was decent. Our guides were good but not sure I would do this one again. It was a very long day.

I want my time and money back. - Great nature trip (in concept) turned into a miserable experience by dreadful logistics and lack of common sense. Prepare to spend 1-1.5 hours in a bus after getting picked up to get to the departure marina where you'll be dropped off to pay park admission fees. I left my wallet behind not expecting to need it on the trip, but was told that park fees can only be paid in cash or by card. Tour operators and even park cashiers are clueless about payment options. I inquired about ApplePay, but was told that wasn't available. I then pointed at the NFC sign on their payment terminal indicating that it accepts contactless payments. Low and behold, it worked so all the preceding agony with threats of not being able to join the tour without paying the park fees, was for nothing. We then were introduced to our "English speaking" guide. Both her vocabulary and pronunciation were so awful, she must come with subtitles or an interpreter. English is not my native language so I'm entirely cool with accents, but this guide was literally making incomprehensible noises. A parrot could surely be trained to speak more understandably. What a travesty! If you market your tour as English-speaking, this can't be the best the local talent pool has to offer. After the marina, brace yourself for another 1.5 hours on a speed boat jumping up and down on waves like a wild bronco. This may sound like fun but the excitement wears out after about 5 minutes. By the time you arrive to your first stop, you will feel like you took a beating (because your body actually has). Pileh Lagoon is beautiful but don't be fooled by the pretty marketing pictures. Many dozens, if not hundreds, of boats rush into this rather small lagoon during day time and turn it into chaotic mess of boats and people trying to swim literally in between boats and sometimes just meters away from turning propellers. We did not even get in the water at that stop. It felt sub-human. Speaking of longtail boats, these suckers run on diesel. The lagoon is almost fully enclosed by tall cliffs so there's no fresh breeze to whisk it away. The stench of diesel exhaust is unbearable. It felt like spending an hour in a truck depot where all engines are running. It's impossible to enjoy the beautiful scenery around when your nostrils are under constant assault from exhaust fumes but also guests AND crew chain smoking at every stop. Next stop is snorkeling, which was OK. I'm sure there are better reefs than one we anchored at, but fine. Lunch was decent. The bamboo island was the highlight of the trip with amazing water and white sand beaches. I personally would have preferred to drive by the "diesel depot" for pictures and without stopping, but spend more time on the bamboo island. The ride back to the marina was another 1+ hours of body-bruising up and down action. The final nail in the coffin was the ride back to our drop off point, which the tour organizer mapped around driver's convenience so he doesn't get stuck in traffic going home. Our ride back took 2+ hours in stifling traffic and we missed our transfer boat to the island we were staying. For the ~3 hours of actually taking in the sights, you endure 5+ hours of logistical drudgery, inscrutable English, noxious smells and boneheaded organization
