Excellent service and organisation, boat is superb and skipper and crew were friendly, fun and helpful. We never felt rushed with the itinerary and could take our time swimming, snorkeling and enjoying the beaches. Lunch on Lamai beach at Boab Restaurant was excellent, fresh food and friendly people. We returned around sunset to complete a truly wonderful day. Thanks to Tik for all her support and help arranging the cruise for us and keeping in contact to ensure everything was going well.

Koh Tao is great for snorkeling, especiaslly with your own boat and you can choose the time and bays for yourself. Ang Thong is great for the views and doing other things than in the water.

Beautiful and very varied. Ideal for us as a family with a 5-year-old child to plan short stretches with lots of breaks for swimming and snorkeling.
Wunderschön und sehr abwechslungsreich. Für uns als Familie mit 5 jährigen Kind ideal um kleine Strecken mit vielen Pausen zum schwimmen und Schnorcheln einzuplanen.
