The whole experience from the hotel pick up to the excellent ac compartment ride, to the in boat entertainment and refreshments, to the beautiful sea trail, the snorkeling experience, lunch and drop back to hotel was all exquisitely done. Loads of fun for me and family. What we felt pissed off about was the lack of coordination and assistance during the snorkeling. It was agreed with the operator that me and wife would do 30mins each in the total 1 hour and we will each pay 400 baht. But there was zero coordination and I was picked up after 40 minutes after i started signaling and waving hands. My wife finally had only 10 mins left and we decided not to do since it was not worth it. The messy snorkeling guide colluded with the operator and insisted we pay the extra 400 baht though only 1 person snorkeled. That was a bitter experience. There is no snorkeling guidance you can expect as well. The fat guide just sat and didn't even care to explain anything to a non-swimmer like me.

Definitely worth doing!

After looking at so many different options we decided to go for this one as it was on a big boat and had the VIP service included in the price. It is definitely worth it. The sights as expected were amazing. You get(reserved for the tour group only) nice recliner seats in the indoor area of the boat, obviously the option to go in and out for pictures etc. There is also a tv showing decent new movies as the trip is about 2 hours each way so there’s only so many pictures you can take. The staff are very friendly, we had JoJo who seems to take this one often based on reviews. His knowledge is great and a few nice touches, I.e coffee, fizzy etc is available for free. Upon reboarding we were also given the coconut milk drinks. The meal you get is at a decent hotel and you have a meal on a lazy Suzy type table so spin the food round and take what you want. We only had 9 in our group and had 100 reserved seats to ourselves! The rest were just outside seats for the cheap ferry tickets! Amazing

This was a terrific day. The service was excellent and the snorkelling equipment and lunch were perfect. There's not a heap of fish to see but we were quite satisfied with what we managed to see. The VIP seating on the boat was worth it as it's air-conditioned and very comfortable... particularly appreciated on the trip back.
