    Loved this tour! The Emerald Pool was so clear and refreshing. The hot springs were a unique and relaxing experience. The guides were professional and friendly. Lunch was OK, and everything was well-organized. Long trip from ao nang though!

    The Half Day Emerald Pool & Hot Spring Waterfall Tour was a mixed experience, but definitely with some highlights. The hot springs were by far the best part—very relaxing and soothing! The minivan pick-up was smooth and easy, which set the tone for a comfortable day. The Emerald Pool, however, was much too crowded, and the water didn’t feel as clean as expected. The edges of the pool were very slippery, making it hard to get in and out safely. I highly recommend wearing the rubber coral socks you should get yourself, as they help prevent to get hurt on rocks for instance. There’s also a small staircase in the middle of the pool that makes getting in and out a lot easier. The walk to the Blue Lagoon was pleasant, but you’re only given time to take photos, not swim, as the sand there sinks. The tour ended with a stop at a large restaurant for a light meal. It wasn’t anything amazing, but it was a good opportunity to relax and refuel. Overall, the hot springs were amazing, but the crowded Emerald Pool and limited time at the Blue Lagoon held the tour back a bit. Still, a solid experience!

    The Emerald Pool was gorgeous and felt like paradise. The hot springs were warm but too crowded. Lunch was okay, though not memorable. The guides were helpful and kept the group on schedule. The walk to the pool was scenic and pleasant. Overall, a worthwhile half-day tour!

    Beautiful spots but too many people. The pool was nice, and the springs were nice. Worth it for the beauty of the area but I would go again in a different season.

    We booked a full day tour of Kaoh Sok and I have to say this was the highlight of my Thailand trip so far. The pickup at our hotel in Ao Nang was on time and the drive there was smooth. At the lake we were greeted by our guide Khan. Khan and his boatsman were what made this trip unforgetable. Khan was an absolute delight, friendly, funny and he shared many insights and stories during the trip. The lunch we had was very tasty and plentiful. There were free kayaks to use at the place we had lunch and we were lucky enough to see an elephant bathing by the lake side while sitting in a kayak some meters away. I can highly recommend this tour and would like to thank Khan and our boat driver for this amazing experience.

    This was an amazing tour! Very long day but well worth it!! The weather gods turned it on which was lucky.. All our stops were simply breathtaking.. Phi Phi islands, Maya Bay, Bamboo island. We had perfect amount of times spent at each.. the waters were crystal clear and a great temperature. Lovely buffet lunch. Definitely swim and snorkel! Then we went onto the afternoon sunset tour on Poda Island which was stunning.. BBQ dinner and sat on the beach for the sunset! Lastly swimming with the bioluminescent plankton which was very cool to see! What a day and it’s great value for money! Highly recommend:) Tour guide Nadia was very funny and she was awesome. Ming was also very cool and helpful! Thank you!!

    Fantastic Hong Islands trip on the speedboat—fast, smooth, and well-organized Rating: 5 / 5 Stars (or your preferred rating) Pros: Speedboat Advantage: Taking the speedboat got us out to the Hong Islands quickly and comfortably, leaving plenty of time on the beach and in the water instead of wasting time in transit. Incredible Scenery: Hong Island, the emerald lagoon, and the surrounding limestone karst islands are stunning. The 360° viewpoint climb is a workout, but the panoramic views at the top are worth every step. Great Tour Crew: The Krabi Sunset Tours team was well-organized, friendly, and kept everything moving smoothly from hotel pickup to drop-off. Beating the Morning Crowds: The schedule worked out great for enjoying the beaches without the heavy peak-morning crowds. Cons: Steep Steps to Viewpoint: The climb to the 360° viewpoint is hot and steep, so proper shoes/sandals (not flimsy flip-flops) are recommended. Summary: A top-notch island tour in Krabi. The speedboat makes the journey effortless, the sights are world-class, and Krabi Sunset Tours delivered a seamless, memorable day. Highly recommended!

    Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

    My daughter and I had a lovely private longtail boat tour. Some glitch on its website and the final price did not include transfer costs, which were payable. Our hotel is not far away. A Grab ride each way would be under 200. Transfer was 1,200 for two ways. The boat trip was good. The price included an English speaker guide, Garfield, and she was lovely. Boatman and drivers were all friendly too. So we are happy with everything overall.
