Disappointing

3.00I felt duped on this experience. The boat featured in the listing is absolutely nothing like the actual vessel. I assumed it would just be our group of 7 - maybe a couple others but, instead, what we got was an old boat with 25-30 passengers seated in row seating. There were only 2 paddle boards for the entire group and there was nothing special about the snokle locations. One of the staff asked for our email addresses to share photos - I never saw anyone taking photos nor did I receive anything. Not worth the cost. I definitely wouldn't do this excursion again.
Horrible and insulting customer service- not accommodating or polite

1.00I have encountered several issues with this tour operator that were rude and unacceptable. First, the tour does not depart out of Chanai- they make you ride 40 minutes outside of the city and 40 back. Second- I booked a tour for 9 and the tour operator informed me they would leave not at 9 but 11. Third- I booked one day prior to the event and when I had questions regarding my concern about the timing and driving outside the city timing cons that I had the tour operator was not accommodating and was argumentative. They refused to let me cancel and were unprofessional, condescending and told me they would not cancel or return my money. They insulted me stating I should have understood their policies- of leaving outside the advertised city and departure time of two hours past the schedule time- that were not listed. When I say that I wanted to cancel again and that I did not appreciate the interaction. They referred me to talk to Viator knowing that they would not help me cancel this request. The group is not to be trusted and is very unprofessional. Do not book with them.

5.00I was a bit anxious about snorkelling because it was my first time. But Lizzy and the team reassured me and provided safety precautions such as floaters. I really appreciate that. We could also take breaks on the boat when we were tired too. Water, snacks and photos were provided. Thanks to the team!!
Really enjoyable, but with a couple of opportunities to improve

4.00The excursion was well organized and enjoyable, though the cleanliness of the vehicle transporting us from the cruise ship port to where the excursion boat was docked left a lot to be desired. We enjoyed both the snorkeling and the stand-up paddle-boarding. Would have loved to do even more snorkeling. We enjoyed using the sea scooters!
Fun trip!
