Many tours in one! Well worth the money - This was truly like several tours in one. I'm glad I didn't also book an island tour because it's pretty much the same thing. You go to chicken island, poda island and the one you can walk between islands through shallow water. There was also snorkeling in several different locations. The fish were beautiful, and we even found Nemo and some live coral. If you get sea sick like me, be prepared for like 3 hours of either being on the boat or in the water off shore in a row. It was a little much, but so beautiful it was worth getting a little sick. I recommend bringing snacks as they don't feed you until about 6:00. The food was really good. The bioluminescent plankton were there, but you need to manage your expectations. It isn't like the pictures, but there's enough to have a great time. It's fun to see them. The staff were super friendly and helpful!

Great way to see Krabi - This was a great tour! The hotel pickup was super helpful. We loved our guide and were able to see a lot. We loved the stops and time to enjoy the islands, swimming, snorkeling, dinner, sunset, and bioluminescent. Our guide was super fun and added to our enjoyment.

Excellent - One of the best and memorable experience I had on my trip. Our tour guide was very friendly and helpful with an excellent sense of humor. The trips to the islands were excellent, the food tasteful and more than enough. If you are a nature lover, this tour is a must.

Super fun! Would recommend - Good trip! Well organized, the guide was great. Spent a good amount of time at each stop and everything flowed well. The dinner was good too and we saw a ton of bioluminescence

We’ve tried both... - We’ve tried both speedboat and long tail boat, but we preferred the long tail boat more. It brought us closer to nature, and it was airy. We were lucky with the weather and got to snorkel for over 2.5 hours. Towards the end of the trip, we had a short round of evening snorkeling and got to see some bioluminescent plankton. The guide was clear, spoke good English, and kept to the schedule. I would definitely do it again.

Bioessence is disappointing abd I would not get in the water at night either... - Great boat trip - possibly the best one we did, but plankton were disappointing :( Also you have to swim in open water but can't pick up the light on go pro ie I didn't think it was worth it.

A Great Afternoon - Very well organized trip starting from pick up to drop off. However, the plankton stop was brief as it was too dark to enter the water. The guide did not recommend us to snorkel as well but i believe there are few of us who wished to try.

Don't go for the plankton you'll be disappointed - The trips to the islands were great! Some interesting features. Tea was a good buffet at a nice restaurant. Please make sure you wear water shoes and swimwear because whether you want to swim or not, you'll get wet getting in and out of the boat! We took a 3 hour car drive to do this trip for the photo luminescent plankton, though and honestly, it was underwhelming. Firstly, no way was I getting into the water in the pitch black in a relatively open sea and secondly everyone with go pros etc who braved the sea, keeping very close to the boat, didn't catch any images at all. Sure you can see them when you move your hand through the water, but you can't get any pics. This was the main reason we travelled so far to take this trip so we were massively disappointed. If I'd stayed in Krabi, it would be a trip I would take, but not for the plankton for the islands...

Poor communication - Did not effectively communicate when pick up time was. It was an afternoon trip starting at 2pm. Everything said 2pm, the email, the ticket, the excursion. Went to get a bite to eat at noon, they came to get us at 1230. We had just gotten food and had nothing with us, so they left without us. Im sure the excursion was great but the communication was horrible. Have yet to receive a refund as we did not go on the excursion.
