“A cosy half-day tour to the 3 khai islands. Traveled with 3 children 7 months, 6 years and 9 years. Think the tour seemed just right with half a day but now think in hindsight that they were a bit half stressful. The snorkel trip at stop two was 20 minutes which was super short time in the water. Very nice person on the boat who helped, received and was super friendly. But I think you get more out of the whole ones if you take full day trips.Auto-translated”

“Was good we covered all places mentioned in the tour however couldn't visit the big Buddha temple as it was closed due to land slide, but the tour company compensated it's by showing us other few places like cashew nut factory (more like a shop), bee farm (more like a shop as well), and bird show, so we appreciated that. The guide and driver were good and reliable and on time.”
