Great trip - Really enjoyed this trip - lots of beautiful views and good snorkelling. Would have liked a bit longer on Hong Island itself which was beautiful & amazingly quiet for peak season. By far our best bit though was snorkelling with bioluminescent plankton at the end! Loved it!

Relaxing and fun! - Compared to other tours, this is more relaxing. The only disappointing part was the bioluminescent part as it was quite hard to see. But still, it was a fun experience and I recommend it.

Great day out. - Hong island is beautiful but unfortunately there were many jellyfish so we could not go in the sea to snorkel after my husband was stung. Climbed the stairs for a spectacular view. Boat trip well organised and. Host was very courteous and knowledgeable. Barbecue was lovely. Sunset view was beautiful. Would recommend.

Great Tour on Hong Island! - We felt the tour was well organized, there were plenty of staff to accompany us on the trip. We were fortunate during the sunset tour that there were only a couple of longtail boats at Hong and we ended up being the only ones on Pakbia for dinner! Pickup & drop off at our hotel was prompt. Our guide A.J. was knowledgeable and spoke English well (although he apologized for his lack of English). They allowed us plenty of time for photo opportunities on the long tail boat in the lagoon and even offered to take photos of us on the beach. The buffet dinner on Pakbia Island was plentiful and offered grilled shrimp, fish, chicken, spring rolls, rice, corn plus fruits for dessert with water and pop to drink. It was really nice to see the sunset there. We were really tired afterwards and could've done without the bioluminescent plankton part of the tour. We didn't get into the water, so they dumped buckets onto the longtail boat so we could see the plankton glow. It's not as spectacular as the photo depicted in the brochure, nevertheless, still cool. Personally I feel this part could be done as a separate tour, since most of us were underwhelmed by the plankton. This said, everything else was great and absolutely worth every penny.

Ok but disorganised - The guide himself and the actual places were really nice, but quite disorganized. We were picked up from the hotel 1 hr later, we couldn’t swim or snorkel at the Hong island or go into the lagoon because of the low tide (which is almost same timing every day, so they knew about it). The bbq is just some food served, so don’t expect to sit around a bbq and watch the sunset. You can watch the sunset only from the boat for a while. The boat is quite packed as well, so hard to stand up and take photos etc.
