4.Snorkel & Chill: Nemo Island Trip from Pattaya

“Great trip worth the money, beautiful locations you stop at. The only issue we had was ourselves and another couple sat at the front of the boat and when giving instructions the tour guides only said it inside the boat so those of us outside didn’t always know what was going on and had to ask others what was happening so communication could be better but other than that it was a great trip and they got some really great photos of everyone”

7.Coral Island & Sunset Dinner by Sailing Catamaran

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 68 reviews · 5 hours · from $56

“L’esperienza è bella e coinvolgente, spiagge bianche, buona cena, buon equipaggio, e tramonto meraviglioso. L’unico problema purtroppo è stato che in condizioni di mare mosso diventa un’attività difficile da intraprendere per persone poco sportive, perché la passerella galleggiante per raggiungere la spiaggia diventa una prova di equilibrio ad ostacoli. Per chi invece sa muoversi in mare nessun problema.”
