Disappointing experience. , very bad guides by the water was more interested in getting so many in the water at once so all in all do not spend 3500bath on anything irrespective,if I have to have something positive to say about the trip then it is the staff on the island so there for 1 star
Successful excursion

After the transfer arrived at the speedboat pier, there was coffee, tea and toast. Then crossed over to the island, to two snorkel spots, then typical Thai lunch. After dinner two hours at leisure. We looked at the turtle collection station. On the way there can still observe flying dogs in the trees. Unfortunately it started to rain, you could have swam nicely in the sea... nevertheless a successful trip.
Great trip; I would highly recommend

Great trip; I would highly recommend it. Koh Talu is so worth visiting if you're in Thailand, and I definitely recommend taking this tour. There is lots of freedom, so you can enjoy time alone or with family.
Time spent snorkeling too short,lunch in Koh was great /fantastic staff. Minivan trip needs to include a stop halfway.

I think the trip was OK. Lunch on the island was very good. I think more time and a couple off different spots should be dedicated to snorkeling The trip to the boat snd back is quite long (21/2 -3 hours each way) I think you should incorporate a stop for breakfast & coffee, use toilets and stretch the legs about halfway.
Beautiful island, terrible driver of minivan

We had to meet at hua hin clock tower 0645, despite it said 0700 in the tour guide. The minivan( not bus) was not marked with “koh talu tour” as promised. So we had to ask around. The minivan van was worn and dirty, and the shock absorbers were absent. Then the driver used least 40 min back and forth, stopes and talk to people to find the last to persons. He had no clue were to go. Then the driver began his madman's drive towards the boat. While he was talking in his phone. All the time. I know the driving culture is different here vs Europe but still. He also had to stop and refuel. I have experienced a lot of driving in Thailand. This was by far the worst. Actually we dreaded the return as we thought it was the same driver and car. When we arrived at the boat pier the arrangement was wery good. Also the boat experience and the Island of course. The guide could have done a little more, but he’s english was quite good actually. And the island itself is absolutely worth a visit. We were wery happy when we came back from the island, and there was a new car and driver back to Hua Hin I will recommend the island, not the first tour with minivan. The tour is quite expensive so I think the minivan should be better for a 3 hours tour.

Koh Talu is a fantastic island and we had a very nice day there. It was a bit too windy for us to get good visibility to snorkel but we still saw a lot of nice fish. We swam in the nice water in the small quiet coves. The lunch was also good and had many variations.
Worth the trip out to this island paradise

Really nice trip to Koh Talu. Our guide who was also in the minibus and picked us up at the hotel was absolutely fantastic. The snorkeling itself was ok. Unfortunately, the water was a little muddy that day so the visibility was low. We missed the opportunity to borrow swimming feet.
It was just......OK

We got picked up on time in a very nice air conditioned people carrier. The driver spoke no English but was perfectly polite. After a 2.5hr journey we arrived to catch the boat. We had refreshments but did have to wait an hour for other parties to arrive. They were not going snorkeling but we're using the boat to go somewhere else after we got dropped off. A quick 20 min boat ride and we joined the barge at the first location to snorkel. The algi was pretty severe so we couldn't see much but with perseverance you could find some spots. Despite being told we would have 40 mins it was more like 20. We then moved to a 2nd spot which was marginally better.... only a little. Again, only for 20 mins max. Then we were taken to the island for lunch. TBH, this was the best part. The food was amazing and you can eat as much as you want. The islanders were very friendly. We then chose to go in the swimming pool but others went kayaking or swimming in the sea. Overall a nice day out but not quite sure it was worth the money. Not terrible by any stretch but not wow either. Food was ace.
