“Excellent tour. Food was great. Tour leader was very informative and helpful. Went to two island lagoons accessed by caves. Tour provided blow up kayak and a paddler so all we had to do was sit back and enjoy the view. Last cave was after dark to see the bioluminescence in the water.”
Swim through Emerald Cave, snorkel four islands, and enjoy beach lunch on Koh Lanta’s colorful eight-hour longtail boat tour.
“Cannot recommend it enough! Best tour in Koh Lanta! The stops they make are a must do, the crew great and the food as well. You need 3 days to explore Koh Lanta and one of them should be dedicated to experience the 4 islands tour”

“Tommy was such a friendly and outgoing tour guide.along with the staff. He took a lot of pictures for me as a solo traveler.

Explore Phang Nga Bay by kayak, enter sea caves, visit James Bond Island, enjoy onboard meals, and see bioluminescent plankton at twilight.
“WOW! One of my favorite days in Phuket while on vacation was this experience. The tour guides were incredible, super organized with a lot of yummy food and drinks! The bioluminescent waters were incredible as well. One of the best sunsets I’ve ever seen too. The kayaks only fit 2 passengers plus the guide, and there were 3 of us in our group so I rode in the kayak by myself. But my guide and my friends’ guide did their best to keep us together through the kayaking experience which was so nice of them! 10/10 recommend!”

Review of Ko Lanta’s $32 half-day kayak tour through mangroves, sea caves, monkey bays, and Talabeng Island.
“It was one of the highlights of our trip. Friendly local team, our guide was knowledgeable (he even knew each one of the monkeys we met!), funny and he did put us at ease from the start (we are not sporty people). Best way to spend half a day in Ko Lanta, would recommend to anyone.”
Kayak through Phang Nga Bay caves, enjoy Thai meals, craft a Krathong, and watch glowing plankton on a full-day Phuket tour.
“We were extremely well looked after from the moment we were collected from the hotel-pickup was on time and friendly. The food on board was plentiful, our guide Chian (unsure if spelling) was so friendly and informative. Creating and releasing the floral offering was magical along with witnessing bioluminescent plankton. Highly recommend!!!”

Review of Koh Lanta’s 4 Islands speedboat tour, with Emerald Cave, Koh Kradan beach, snorkeling, buffet lunch, costs, and practical tips.
“Tour molto bello, e organizzato molto bene. Ptelievo kn hotel puntuale, il furgoncino era però molto sgangherato. Check in al porto veloce e molto ben organizzato. Barca veloce molto bella, con molti posti all'aperto a prua. Snorkeling piuttosto deludente, poca visibilità e niente coralli, solo rocce. Le soste sulle due isole molto belle, bagni in un mare spettacolare. Pranzo ok, grazie per aver preparato due box di cibo vegetariano per noi, non era un granchè, ma abbiamo apprezzato il gesto. Frutta in abbondanza a meranda, e acqua fresca a volontà sulla barca. Esoerienza nella grotta smeraldo molto suggestiva, la guida è stata molto attenta a trainare il gruppo al buio.…”
