    Kamalaya boat trips on Turkish Gullit
    A delightful experience with friends from Kamalaya. The views of the coast and Koh Tan are beautiful. Great swimming off the boat. Good hospitality and friendly service.
    I would go again one day.

    Wonderful crew, great experience!
    We had the best time and loved the crew!! We booked the 30ft private boat for the day, and our group of 5 had a blast. It was a large, modern boat with top-tier staff. They helped us snorkel, let us choose the pace of the day, and let us enjoy the day without feeling rushed or forced to get to the next activity. The hike to the view point in Angong was not as easy as advertised- the stairs were incredibly steep and rusty so I would caution those afraid of heights or with young children. All of the stops overall were great, and the lunch was delicious and authentic. A 10/10 day!

    Pig Island with an incredibly professional charter boat and crew
    5/5
    We booked a half day trip with Oceanasamui Charters via our hotel concierge service, the Napa Sai Belmond group hotel and have had a wonderful day. A driver came to pick us up in a large very comfortable Toyota SUV and it took us about 40 minutes to get to the boat on the Southern tip of the Island. He offered us a stop at the 7:11 in case we wanted any snacks but it wasn’t necessary as the boat provides loads of cold drinks and we ate at Pig Island. When we got to the boat we were introduced to the 3 boat staff and filled in an insurance form with our names and dates of births. Then we were off. We did a boating trip around the 5 Islands and then stopped off for snorkeling in the very warm sea. We saw several types of tropical fish and some small rays. My husband was practicing with his new GoPro with our 11 and 12 year old girls jumping off the boat. The boat had a fresh water shower which I like to desalinate after climbing out! The 3 men Sandy, Folk and Pon were incredibly charming and helpful. Sandy speaks brilliant English and I got a good insight to how schools and healthcare work in Thailand and we all seem to have the same struggles with preteen girls!!! Mobile phones, secrecy etc etc…..we then stopped at Pug Island where they efficiently moored up and helped us secure a table, order food and so on. They then left us to our own devices to explore and swim and offered to take photos of us as a family.

    This charter company is slick, efficient and felt very professionally run. I’m sure our hotel wouldn’t use them if they didn’t have a good track record and I wouldn’t hesitate in recommending them.

    Amazing dive sites in Gulf of Thailand and good diving school
    It was the first dive experience for my son and they were very hands on. Sailors rock in the gulf of Thailand is a very special dive site where you can see diverse marine life all in one place.

    The diving school ensured that the diving experience was safe and comfortable. I would recommend this if you want to dive with your kids and family. Wolfgang and Philip were very good instructors and my son and I had an incredible marine life experience.

    What an amazing day.

    Picked up from hotel was 15 minutes late but kept updated the whole time from company.

    Arrived at port and all staff were lovely and friendly people, seen some reviews about bad English which we didn't experience.

    First stop they guys took us to the temples and informed us about the history. Next stop Swimming in sercluded bay but water was shallow so could stand up, then was brought out lovely fruit on inflatable to eat in the water.

    Third stop we was taken to snorkelling reef with best snorkelling geer ever used. Amazing experience could feed fish watermelon and staff videod and took photos for us. Staff took us out in the water with food and we definitely got an amazing personal experience, he was showing us to the best parts with fish, loads of fish even seen a sting ray and a sword fish.

    Lastly pig island, had 30 minutes to see pigs then staff took us over and made up picnic away from the business and lovely food snacks drinks, kept refilling and no rushing to leave.

    Top quality service, staff very attentive and the captain and co-captain on the boat were a great laugh, very friendly and couldn't fault them at all. They really made our experience. Very attentive , giving us drinks , food , drying towels for us and constantly asking if we want photo or videoing us to capture the experience.

    Best day ever. Highly recommend don't think just book! 5* service and very personal experience.

    Thank you for an amazing day, big thank you to the 2 guys who took us out as they were brilliant. Definitely highlight of our holiday in Koh Samui.

    Simply amazing!
    We spent 2 very nice family days with Alex. We started by exploring the island in a 4x4, which is an excellent way to access the highest and most remote places, then we went to the national park, which is a “not to miss” trip. Simply amazing! Everything was perfectly taken care of and a special award for both lunches that were in very nice places.
    Thank you again for these beautiful moments and for the organization. We really enjoyed it!

    Great dive centre
    My husband and I had a great experience diving with Dive Point and Fiona in July. We booked our dives prior to arriving on the island and Fiona was very helpful and responsive on WhatsApp. She called me on the day we arrived to arrange the pick up and to discuss our requirements.

    We had a short briefing at the marina on the day of the dive with more discussion on the boat. Fiona was very patient before, during and after the dive, especially as I am a bit of a nervous diver. I also appreciated that it was a small dive group, only 3 divers and Fiona. A great experience overall and I would recommend Dive Point and Fiona.

    Amazing Ang Thong
    We had the Ang Thong speed boat private tour. The boat was powered by 2x200 Yamaha engines and was quite large for a family of four. Our guide Ying and the boat captains were very kind and attentive to our needs.

    The Blue Lagoon and the snorkeling on another island were terrific. The highlight of the day was; however, the deserted beach we swam and the local restaurant with amazing sea food (both in Ko Phaluai).

    Dive was not that good
    Weather was very good but the dive was not. Water was very cloudy and not much fish to see. We went to Sail island were it was supposed to be an amazing dive. But it was far from that. The crew was amazing and very helpful. And our second dive as at the same spot. Grrrrt and there still was not much to see. I paid $150 and it was not worthy of that amount. And they only had O2. Just was not a good dive at all.
