Professional company that knows what they are doing - Great day out snorkelling at the Cham Islands wirh this company. Very professional and sagety conscious staff who really looked after everyone. Price included hotel transfers to and from port, all equipment, tea, coffee, water and lunch. One of our party needed special assistance getting on and off the boat and this was no problem. This group love their job and it shows! (I would avoid the sppedboat companies at all costs - nasty enclosed boats driven by cowboys).

Good alternative program snorkeling - Very well organized, punctual. Nice staff. Super beautiful paradise beach and good lunch. Not a must but if you have some time left or if you really want to go snorkeling, this is a good alternative. The snorkeling was OK, unfortunately not many fish, but there were beautiful corals

Trip could've been better organized, snorkeling was just fine - I was not very happy with this tour. The experience did not match the price point. We paid for snorkelling and not the sea walk so the company split us up into two groups. The main guide Mr. Sony spoke English, but the tour guides on the snorkelling boat had a big language barrier. The weather and sea is not under anyone's control, so I understand that we didn't get to see a lot of fishes, but I wish the company had planned better and taken us to a different spot. The tour felt unorganized and did not deliver on what was promised. They didn't have fins that fit my small feet. They promised us towels, but we didn't get them when we needed them after getting out of the water. We had to wait for a while. No one had a safety conversation with us about using the fins and snorkel or our comfort in the water and that felt like a dangerous oversight. I did enjoy the extra time we spent at the beach where we had lunch. There were beach chairs and umbrellas, which was nice. Overall, if this is the general level of fish usually, the trips shouldn't be done at all.

Not the most impressive snorkling, but beatiful to chill at Cham island - We were transferred to a speedboat trip instead of the wooden boat due to post covid-19 reasons. In the speedboat the guys were driving like crazy. It was funny for the first 2 minutes, but then it just really felt unsafe for the rest of the trip. We were combined with a trip where people were walking the bottom of the sea in suits, and we were snorkling at that location instead. There were not much too see, and it did not feel like a place for snorkling. In the next place we snorkled it was a bit more to see and some nice fishes, but only the fish were colorful, not the sea bottom. Also we could feel some stinging on our skin, not bad, but a little bit uncomfortable. Luckily we were wearing t shirts. After that we went to eat lunch and chill at a beach at Cham island. That location was beautiful and kind of the best part of the trip, but we were expecting more exciting snorkling. The snorkling sessions were also shorter than expected.

Experience - Enjoyable time. No towel provided and had to buy water, maybe supply what is advertised. Staff friendly, speed boat hubby loved .

Sea trekking is a MUST! - Originally we had only book for snorkelling, as with other reviews we managed about 10 minutes in the water before we got out due to sea lice. If you have booked this I suggest bringing a top to wear in the water. We then additionally paid for the sea trekking it was amazing and cannot speak highly enough about doing this! It made our day. Lunch was nice and different on a restaurant at Cham islands and had a nice amount of time to relax. Although we had finished lunch at 11:30! So didn’t eat it all as we weren’t particularly hungry. We picked for the wooden boat, it is perfect if you want relax on the top deck and take slightly longer to get there and back. Did get transferred to lunch on a speed boat which was nice. Jim was a great tour guide had excellent English was helpful at any point we needed him. We felt like there should have been an extra activity as we only had 1 hour for snorkelling and then about 2 hours after lunch on the island. For the price we paid (and extras) felt like there could have been more. It says full day tour picked up early (at 7:20) and back by 3pm.

Hot beverages, great views and boat ride. - Not very professional, beverages not iced, did not gather us for lunch, garbage cans full at the beginning of trip. The snorkeling equipment good, the lunch menu was great and the time allotted for snorkeling was sufficient. The fact that our boat was used for other boats for scuba was confusing. But for the price we would do it again.

snorkelling was great - the snorkelling was great but way to short. We spend 2 hours sitting on a very crowded beach when we should have been snorkelling for longer..Lunch was good but drinks were hot. Overall it was an average day at best

Snorkelling was a waste - The whole day was unorganised and chaotic. We weren’t provided with any context or clear instructions on what was happening. Feels like we spent half the day waiting for our next transport. We were told a speed boat was coming to take us to another location. 5 minutes later we were told this boat was no longer coming. Beach was polluted, coral seemed mostly dead and there was minimal marine life to see.
