This tour is a feast for the senses, guiding you through the breathtaking islands of Krabi, including Poda Island, Chicken Island, and the mystical Phra Nang Cave. As the sun sets, indulge in a beach barbecue, followed by a mesmerizing night snorkeling experience with bioluminescent plankton.

The reviews speak for themselves:

“A Wonderful Experience! - We thoroughly enjoyed our visit to the 7 islands. The scenery was magnificent and the beaches were beautiful. The BBQ got rained out, but they substituted a very nice dinner in an outdoor restaurant with a sheltered area. Then the highlight was the bioluminescence. It was magical. You need to get in the water to fully enjoy it! Overall I would highly recommend this experience. The staff was very well organized, friendly and made it a great experience for all.” (Reviewed on 2023-12-26)
