“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.…”

10.Koh Lanta: 4 Islands Tour by Speedboat with Snorkeling

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 21 reviews · 8 hours · from $51

Travel from Koh Lanta to Koh Chuak, Koh Mook, Koh Kradan, and Koh Ngai by speedboat. You will snorkel coral reefs, swim through the 80-meter Emerald Cave tunnel when tides allow, eat a beach buffet, and return by hotel transfer. Guide Dessy has received warm praise, but recent trips have sometimes had more than 25 people.

“Liian kiire joka paikassa ja liikaa ihmisiä. Opas epäselvästi kertoi ajan paikoissa. Snorglaus paikkassa ei mitään katsottavaa ja ihmisiä todellakin liian paljon. Vieri vieressä kymmeniä ihmisiä pienellä alueelle . Ja vielä opas unohti laskea porukat kun lähdettiin luola uinilta ja yksi asiakas jäi matkasta. kuski huomasi virheen ja äkkikäännös takaisin luolille. Mies löytyi luolien edestä ja onneksi oli pelastusliivit päällä, mutta paikalla oli enään kaksi pitkähäntävenettä. Todella huonoa asiakaspalvelua.”
