Nice day tour - The kids had fun too. Kayaking was worth the extra. Food on the boat for lunch was tasty (but simple). Alas the sitting area for the majority of guets was very hot, though shady. The cooler area happened to be in the full sun in the smoking area. Only downside of the tour (not the fault of the boat operator) was the snorkeling. Last time I visited the snorkelling in the islands was much nicer and everyone didn't "need" to wear a lifejacket while snorkeling (not optional) The area for snorkeling was contained and had lots of people all scaring the fish away and stirring up cloudless. Maybe other islands are better to swim at.

Awesome trip! - The kayaking through the caves is awesome! Bring lots of sunscreen and stuff to cover up because it’s a long day in the sun and we got very sunburnt. Also remember to bring a towel. The only down side is that the boat goes quite slow so you will be spending a long time on the boat

Not recommended - The boat itself was very simple, and the weather was bad because of the big waves that day, so the guests had to take the boat back to the boat in the heavy rain that made it hard to open their eyes. The snorkeling was not a special dive site, it was just a small beach divided into a small area, and the corals There were no fish, and there were a lot of jellyfish. I said I was bitten by jellyfish, but they were indifferent. The meal was also very casual. Anyway, I regretted it.

Super poor customer service - tried to ask a girl named Sarah some super basic questions like "Where does the boat travel to? Around what time is pickup in the morning? Is kayaking included in the tour?"
I had to ask these questions because their website was down. Sarah couldn't answer any of these questions. And on top of everything, she was rude about it.
Maybe these guys actually have good tours at all of the other locations, and maybe their other staff is professional and knowledgable and courteous...but my experience with Sarah was pretty shockingly awful.

Don’t waste your time and money - We spent most of the day in transport mode; be it in a van, large boat or longboat. Beware… the hiking is not fun and quite dangerous, up very steep staircases with narrow concrete steps. We snorkeled off a shallow beach for 30 minutes. Derelict masks were left in a bin to grab, however, fins were not provided. We didn’t spot any fish. Not one! We were the last two to embark in a kayak, so we managed to get 20 minutes of kayaking time. Do not waste your time and money on this tour.

Organisation bidon - We are really disappointed with this day. An old boat was waiting for us at the port. It broke down halfway and took a very long time to get back to port and then we waited for another boat.... The day had to start around 10am... It was worth getting up at 6:30 am... Besides, even the taxi was late but still it doesn't matter
The stop on the first island was nice although it took a lot of effort to get to the viewpoint. We just had time to go up and down that it was time to eat. Nice meal. After we went for some kayaking and we were able to see a beautiful lagoon after another ascent. The view was beautiful but the beach and the sea were disgusting, filled with garbage... It was the place to see the fish while diving
Almost no fish and very dirty sea with garbage, we did not enjoy. Then we came back around 4pm... Nothing to do with the 8-9 hours of excursion planned... We didn't see any caves either... We expected to see the beauty of natural park, going around the islands... In addition we had good weather... What a waste... Way too expensive for what it was... Better to hire a fisherman for the day and go around the islands
I still want to clarify that the sailors and the guide were very friendly but the excursion and the organization were not up to the task.
