    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.
