Our experience wasn't great. It felt like they cared mostly about their money than the customer having a great experience. For instance, it was raining so we couldn't enjoy the beaches. Lunch was provided very late, around 2 pm and it wasn't good either.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that your experience didn’t meet your expectations. We always strive to prioritize our customers' enjoyment, even in challenging weather conditions. We understand that the delayed lunch and weather impacted your experience, and we apologize for that. Your feedback helps us improve, and we’ll certainly take it into consideration for future tours. We hope you’ll give us another opportunity to provide a better experience next time.
Our 13 year old son loved the trip (seeing monkeys at Railay, snorkelling, and swimming off the sand bar); however, having done the same trip some years ago, we were disappointed by the early pick up with then having a long wait (an hour) at Ao Nang pier, and the amount of rubbish floating at the busy snorkelling site. (We subsequently hired a long tail boat local to our resort and went to a different fabulous area for .snorkelling). The lunch was pleasant and there was enough time at each stop without feeling rushed.

Thank you for sharing your feedback regarding your recent tour.
We're glad to hear that your son enjoyed the experience, especially the monkey sighting, snorkeling, and swimming at the sandbar.
We understand your disappointment regarding the early pick-up and the wait at Ao Nang pier. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. We'll take your feedback into account to improve our scheduling and transportation arrangements.
We're also sorry to hear about the marine debris at the snorkeling site. We're committed to protecting the environment and will investigate this issue to ensure that appropriate measures are in place to minimize pollution.
To follow up on your satisfaction email, we would like to inform you that the day “visit to 4 islands by large traditional boat with long queue from Krabi” went poorly.
Indeed, the excursion was carried out despite the catastrophic weather conditions.
We were unsafe and the crew shared with us their concerns about how dangerous it was.
We also paid extra to visit national parks that we didn't see.
We would like a full refund for the excursion.
Sincerely

Dear Dharmik_M
Thank you for your review!
We appreciate you highlighting the crew's efforts and the delicious lunch. We're happy you had a great time!
A very enjoyable day out. A few issue's with safety, the boat was safe enough however getting on and off was quite hazardous, one person actually fell from the top of the boat straight into the sea albeit the boat was close to the shore - no one moved - the crew just stood and watched. The side ladders are not the best also the boat landing area became very wet and very slippery. The crew were good but little English spoken. Snorkelling - waste of time- very few fish to be seen. Lunch was ok - don't be hungry.

It was a good tour, we did find we were quite rushed on every island which was a shame. One island we had to walk a little way to get to so then we had about 10 minutes on the beach before needing to head back. Overall; it was well organized and a good level of informative but we wished we had slightly longer to take in the sights.

Thank you for your feedback on the tour. We're glad you enjoyed the crew and boarding process, but we're sorry to hear the lunch wasn't up to your expectations. We take all feedback seriously, and we'll use your comments to improve the lunch experience for future guests.
Pick up was late (9.10) Tour advertised as boat trip between 9am - 3pm. Boat didn't leave until after 10am. Tour guide was lovely and full of energy, but the boat stops were a bit rushed except the last one for lunch just after 2pm. Food was Thai and delicious. Getting people back onto buses for return to hotels was totally disorganised until tour guide sorted things out. Rating given for tour guide and locations themselves.

The views on this trip are gorgeous the guides were amazing we got caught in a storm at poda Island and the tide went out and grounded the boats it was very hard for then to pick us up so we had to wade out to the boats over the Rocks which was very trying to say the least but honestly the guys who took us on the trip were truly fantastic helping us and assisting everyone out to the boats. It all added to the amazing experience

Unfortunately the pick up was late. I had to contact them to find out where the driver was. They turned up 45 minutes past the planned time. The driver of the pick up had our information wrong and was frustrated on the phone with the organiser. Start time stated 9am and 6.5 hours. We didn’t board until 10am and returned 5.5 hours later. Everything and stop was rushed. Not to mention the long boat broke down between 2 islands and we were there just floating on the boat in the sea and had to wait until another boat towed us to shore. The guide was fun, knowledgeable and spoke very good English. The lunch was tasty and fruit and water was provided.

Dear Rebecca_C
Thanks for your comments, and sorry to hear that there was an issue with the pickup service. During Songkran (water festival) there is always a peak in our season with many customers and also more traffic in Ao Nang which delayed everything.
Great day exploring the island the guides on the boat were friendly and chatty x
We loved the snorkeling and different beaches x
Lunch was good too x very fresh, lots of water in big Ice box fab x

Very nice trip. Good organized. The islands are beautiful. The Team is very friendly. Big recommendation.

Dear Marco_P
Thansk for the short and clear comment.
The trip was as expected.
The morning pickup was nearly an hour late. Once at the marine there are many tours leaving at the same time but the company is organized and efficient. I was most excited for Railay Beach but unfortunately we only spent about 30 mins there.
The tour guides were excellent and the views were amazing. We arrived back at the marina by 3:30 and the transportation back to the hotel was a little disorganized.
Great tour for the price :)

Dear Teagan_R
Thanks for the review, and sorry for the delay which was because of other guests from remote hotels who were a bit late on this day.
Lots of fun. Wish we could have stayed at each place longer. Beware, the ladders for entering/exiting the boats are difficult and slippery. Great time!!
Response from Host, Jan 2023
Dear Dennis_G
Thanks for joining our island tour just off the coast of Ao Nang. I understand that a couple of hours are not enough at these beautiful islands.
The beauty of the place. The niceness of our tour guide who stayed with us the whole way and was very personable. The great food before we went and the great lunch. The pineapple and watermelon towards the end. The enjoyment of the snorkeling and freedom of taking off the life vests if we so wanted. We loved the whole trip

Dear Pamela_A
Thanks for joining our boat experience to the 4 island group just off the coast of Ao Nang. We will forward your comments to the boat crew and also cook.
The tour guides were really nice and gave good info! Perfect amount of time at each stop. The lunch was good, and it was overall worth it!

Dear Camille_P
Thanks for your short and sweet review.
At 8:30 we were picked from our hotel at Ao Nang. At 10:30 we finaly boarded a long boat with 60 more people. At 11:00 we were back near Ao Nang (Railay beach where we go every day). We walked 40 minutes (20 minutes in direction) to the actual beach. At 12:30 finally started our "full day" trip to the... couple of the 4 islands. We passed near more, so probably we were even on a 10-12 island trip. If I haven't been on the same trip from another company, I would have had really wrong impression. I will be more careful to avoid trips from the same company. On the bright side, the staff was nice.

Dear Pavel
Thanks for your honest review. During Songkran holiday in Thailand there were many guests on that day which led to a delay in the departure time. As described in the tour details and itinerary the first stop will be at Pranang Cave Beach which is part of Railay peninsula. The next stops will be at different islets and beaches on the "4 island group", including Koh Poda, Chicken Island, Tup Islets (Koh Mor and Koh Tup). Depending on the tides and sea conditions, you will stop at different spots, for example at Thale Waek where you can walk on a sandbar during which resembles only during low tide.
Picked up from hotel, boat trip around beautiful islands, food provided was good and catered for vegetarians
I participated alone, but I enjoyed talking with the staff and taking pictures. It was nice to be able to snorkel for the first time. Thank you!
I could not find fault in any part of the four island tour. Pickup at our hotel was on time. We arrived early at the pier, so there was a little delay in departing but it was expected. The tour guide, Coke, was exceptional. For only learning English from YouTube, he ended up being more literate than many native English speakers I’ve come across. Each of the 4 islands had a little different appeal. The snorkeling was lots of fun. Lunch was provided for at the last island, so have a snack with you if you normally eat lunch earlier in the day. The distance travelled between each island didn’t seem too long, but we were having fun with the guides on the bow of the boat. A word of caution— if you have difficulty climbing up or down ladders, recommend the speed boat tour. The long tail requires you to be a bit agile when getting into or out of the boat depending on the tide.
For the first 3 islands you only stay 30 minutes. Poda Island is an hour and a half. Snorkeling is over a dead coral reef so nothing to really see.
Crew is nice and helpful.
Beautiful islands visited and the longboat was nice. We did not visit Railay beach or any caves on this trip however which the Itinerary/ "what to expect" indicated we would.
Fantastic tour - good food, enough time and very friendly and helpful guides! Would definitly recommend it!
The tour was exactly what we expected. Reasonable price, nice beaches, delicious food, authentic boat and goo guide.
Thanks
The tour is really recommended to do. The guide was very funny. The islands were a good different experience
