    Transfer went smoothly. Boat ride to myamah was good with enough room for everybody. Staff equipped everyone with snorkeling equipment quickly. Snorkel site was amazing, water so clear and so many fish. Beach had good amenities, and the food was tasty, and the beach was quiet. Water was lovely to swim in.

    We enjoyed this cruise at fully. The staff was really friendly and service minded. They are working for peanuts so of course they got tips as they served us very good. The island itself had a wonderful beach with smooth sand, some rocks but they are easy to bypass as they were in small piles in the sea. The snorkeling was wonderful, the reef was full of colorful fish and super clear sight. After snorkeling it was a buffet with some dishes, soda was included. Well worth the money

    The trip itself is excellent but spoilt by being miss sold by TUI! We were told by the rep and to be fair it states in your own advert that soft drinks are included! This is not true and at the very least misleading to the point of being a scam! Soft drinks are provided with lunch at all other times they are to be purchased when you decide how much cash to bring on the trip you may not take into account this cost! I did bring this up at the time & other tui guests were also unhappy with this

    The advert says full day snorkelling but in reality the guided snorkelling was only 30 minutes. While the experience was good, the majority of the day was spent travelling. Also, the base for the day has rocks / old coral at the edge of the sea, which all of us struggled to walk around or swim past. Considering how lovely the beach at our hotel was, which had coral within 3 minutes of the beach, the high cost of this trip was poor value.

    Mo our guide is an excellent employee and TUI should reward him. His knowledge and sense of humour made the day very special.

    We were well looked after by Mohamed. He explained our itinerary on the way and made sure we knew the important details. We thoroughly enjoyed our day. We felt very safe, the food was very good and we had a bar and toilets close by on the beach. The snorkel equipment was free to hire. We had a really relaxing day. Nothing not to like!
