Good trip - Exactly what i hoped for. A relaxed trip, with other amateurs.. and everyone got a fish (small ones).

not much involvement - Only got to touch the reel once to reel in one fish. The rest of the time watching the crew do everything, with not much information on what was happening. Some people didnt even touch the reels. Long day for not much action.

Scam and rude - The operator or agent in between is very bad. They told you pick up location with proper agreement on the hotel name exactly, and also there is available seat before we pay. Once we paid, the agent contact us there is no seat and we have to opt for another date. And until we ask for follow up for pick up location as agreed during the transaction made, the agent then said with a line in the T&C- our hotel is not included in transport and demand an extra 200bhat per person for transport. I’m fine with the money only if we were being informed during payment. And we have dual checks when we made our transaction. It’s very horrible and the agent is very rude over WhatsApp. Saying : since when we are last minute I’m telling you to change date. Well. No next time, I wish no one needs to suffer for the same experience Not to mention there are other reviews saying no fish were really caught and it’s not a good trip.

Fell for the positive reviews don’t make the same mistake I did - I just got back from my deep sea fishing adventure, and although most of the passengers spoke different languages the universal language of disappointment was well spoken by all. The trip was a two hour ride with unbaited trolling lines to a random spot where we fished for bait fish for an hour. We then proceeded to watch as the crew cook the bait and served it to us for lunch. We stopped someplace to “swim” which is Thai for clean the boat and then back to port. Although I am not a professional fisherman I’m pretty sure if you want to catch fish you need more than just lures. This is the first time I’ve used TripAdvisor to book an activity and boy do I feel stupid. There is nothing deep sea, adventurous or exciting about this trip, I wasted a day of my vacation on this garbage, so don’t make the same mistake I did!
