Nice experience - Well organised, nice guide, tasty food and lots of fruit in between. Just a shame about little to no colored coral and fish anymore. And snorkeling for a maximum of one hour during the entire day. Fortunately, we had already been to the cave in the morning, so the crowds were not too bad, although the beach was still completely full. Entering the boat via the steps certainly requires some strength, but it is doable.

4 Island Tour to Emerald Cave by longtail boat from Koh Lanta - This tour was very good, however we where a bit unlucky with the weather, as it was overcast and rainy. It didn't affect the tour though as the water was still fine, the beaches where great and lunch was al fresco on a lovely beach! Well worth recommending!

Four island tour..from Koh Lanta - Our Long tail tour included pickup at 0830, 30 min to pier, Koh's Chuek, Kraden, Muk(Emerald Cave) &Ngai. It was a 50 min ride in a very loud, diesel smelling,overcrowded boat(24 +3 crew) to the first snorkeling stop Chuek. Among many other boats and people. Lots of fish to see but the water was so churned up from the boats it was dirty and cloudy. Could have passed on that stop. Next stop, 20 minutes to Kraden. Snorkeling on a large reef that is sadly quite brown but water was much clearer and lots of fish, giant clams and urchins to see. Had a nice lunch on the beautiful beach there. The crew were very friendly and helpful. Next stop 25 min to Muk. A beautiful 80 metre swim( life jackets if needed) guided with light through a beautiful cave. The water appears green and so peaceful. Through the cave you emerge on a stunning beach surrounded all sides by cliffs and trees. This was the best part of the day!. Be sure to give the guide your camera to have once you reach the beach. We were lucky it was not crowded , only our group. Back on the boat and had engine trouble. Sat for almost an hour bobbing in the heat. Understand things happen but everyone was ready to head home, we were already over an hour behind schedule. Went 25 min on to Ngai for a quick stop and drink. Unfortunately our time there was cut short , it's a very pretty beach with turquoise water. Next 50 min back to the Pier at Koh Lanta and 25 min truck ride to hotel arriving back at 6:30 pm It was a super long day , in my opinion too much travel time to balance the experience. It ended up being a 10 hr day with only about 4 hrs of experience and not great snorkeling. I'd recommend hiring a speedboat, go to Koh Muk early then find a nice island (Ngai ?) for a couple of hours then home. I must say the crew was really good and it's pretty impressive he was able to fix the motor / starter without many tools on board.

Not very good experience - We been very excited to do this 4 island trip, but we had a bad experience with this company. From beginning nobody talk with us we didn’t know it who is our tour guide or if we even have one. From Ko Lanta to first island it took us more than one and half hour on completely rough and stormy sea, on which the boat swings so much from one to other side that we just waited when we end up in the water. And all people was just scared, crying and vomiting it was horrible experience! They take you out in any conditions even when is not safe! When we finally got in first island one guy came and just said here you have one hour for snorkelling.for me I will not recommend this tour and also my recommendation is always take western agency is will be such a more safety
