Great experience on this trip with yacht master. Wonderful tour guide who was very kind and caring for everyone and the kids on the tour too. Regular refreshments and snacks offered in between activities was a really nice touch and something the other company we used in Koh Samui didn’t offer. 10/10 would recommend and great value for money. The tour itself was good, but yes very crowded with tourists on each stop but that comes with the territory (literally).

Had a great Tour with Sexy Coco! Great, funny and relaxed Guide! Great organization with enough drinks and snacks. Highly recommend it for that price. The visited spots are out of this world

Just a great trip! Our tour guide Coco did a great job and every destination was absolutely worth seeing. Maya Bay and the snorkeling was particularly impressive.

A big thank you to the tour guide Coco and the rest of the crew for the wonderful trip and bringing us to to these paradise islands!

Top experience, it's just a shame we didn't stop at Monkey Beach
