“The best experience in Phuket! I loved seeing the different islands, the views were breathtaking, and having lunch on a random beach on the island was such a cool experience. Everything about it was 10/10 and an experience I will always remember. Be prepared for a long boat journey out to the islands however but so worth it. The staff are lovely too.”

“We had such a good time during this activity. Everything was great, pick up at the hotel on time, nice boat, gentle skipper. Lunch was also good. Having a private boat give you the opportunity to avoid as much as possible all the tourist. The skipper was super flexible so he let us the choice sometimes between 2 options. We definitely recommend this excursion!”

“one island out of the three was worth it, the other two are islands where boats unload dozens of tourists who crowd onto the edge of the beach, the seabed is beautiful but quickly spoiled by the human tides, in search of tranquility do not go there. despite the efforts of the guide to take us before peak hours it was not great.”
