We had an amazing time and Ken was a great guide. Light breakfast was toast, bananas, and water, coffee or tea, so sufficient enough. Lunch that was provided was good and there was still time to stop and grab dessert or other snacks/food if wanted from other close places on the island. There was also plenty of water/drinks provided on our boat as well. Beautiful waters for swimming and snorkeling, lots of different fish/coral to see.

The activity was fantastic and breath taking when you get to see the islands . There is a lot of swimming involved and if you can’t swim or snorkel you might want to skip this . I would have liked a variety of soft drinks . We were only offered Pepsi and water . Would also have like more time on Koh Tao island . Only stoped here for lunch and got back on the boat .

The Emerald Cave was great, the rest was ok. To be improved: group marking, when we got out of the car we were directed to different groups, in the tunnel to the cave the group should be compact and have flashlights at the beginning and in the middle because there were moments of complete darkness and it is easy for some unpleasant incident to happen then.

The guides were lovely and attentive, I go to see loads of different fish and lunch was tasty
