Review of Krabi’s private 4 Island longtail boat tour, with beach picnics, personal service, flexible timing, and practical booking tips.

“This tour was our favorite tour we did on our three week Honeymoon! We were researching a lot of tours that said the boats were overcrowded with guests. Then we found this private tour and it was so intimate and relaxing. We got to decided how long we wanted to spend at each destination, which was amazing. The boating itself was incredible, the views were out of this world, they had a bluetooth speaker that we hooked up to, they had the front lounge area which was so comfortable, the picnic on the beach that they set up for us was amazing and the drink options were so refreshing.

Review of Koh Lanta’s private 4-island longtail tour, with Emerald Cave, snorkeling, beach lunch, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Originally we booked for 4 people and it was easy to go with 2 more friends spontaneously. We had to pay a little amount more, which was fair. Taxi driver, boat driver and guide all very friendly. Guide had a nice English level. Food for lunch was tasty and was done by the guides wife, very good! Boat was in a good condition, lots of space for 6 and enough shadow. We visited all the places which were in the description. I loved Koh Ngai - most beautiful water ever. The only thing which I personally didn't like, was Emerald cave, as there were 10-15 boats @ the same time,…”
