Perfect deceleration and unforgettable impressions - Service and friendliness on board are wonderful. Special praise to Ella, the guide. Second special praise to chef and cook. Breakfast, lunch and dinner were super delicious / great selection. Even allergies / intolerances were looked at.
Man drives three to three and a half hours both to the national park and back at sunset (then under sail).
Two islands are anchored and you are driven ashore by a trail boat. Since I was very scared when changing trains and also when running over the pontoon bridge, ELLA ( Lady Gaga) took me by the arm and calmed my panic attack. So sweet. Thank you!!! <3
By the way, ELLA - their playlist is so wonderfully matched to the respective section of the journey, you can't help but RELAX and absolutely slow down. Or at " Heart will go on" Titanic to take photos at the bow. What fun!!
The time on the islands could be longer, as it is hardly possible to climb the 500 meters for the incredible view of the national park and still swim in the lagoon.
You have to make up your mind. It depends on the fitness level. Ascent and especially descent are not for fearful guys like me. So think of sturdy footwear, spare T-shirt, bathing suits and sunscreen!!
You should have bathing gear alone, because you make a snorkel stop on the way back. Just "jump overboard." The water is warm.
Equipment is available on loan on request.
Drinks are free throughout the ride - unless you want to have ALCOHOLIC drinks.
I think these were the best 3200 Baht I've ever invested. Anytime again!!

One of my favourite trips - Had an amazing time. The Boat was one of my main reasons for choosing this trip and I wasn't disappointed. The journey was very smooth with a chilled vibe. I could have got there quicker by speed boat which is noisy and uncomfortable and be packed in like sardines.
This amazing boat had a large sundeck with mattress's if you want to soak up the sun, had an indoor section with a bar that was shaded and cool. The front had plenty of space to spread out with tables you can eat at. Lunch was very tasty plenty of drinks through out the day, couldn't have wished for a better crew
Would do this trip again and highly recommend it

Grandios - We made this tour as the end of our 3-week vacation. "The best comes at the end" definitely applies to this excursion. Great beaches, great colors, little monkeys and big whales. Plus delicious food, the lovable service team and as a cherry on the cream Ella with her humorous care. That was a smooth 1 with an asterisk. That's all I can do.

Disappointing - If you like to spend hours sailing around the sea, a tour with the Red Baron is certainly the right thing to do!
We made the tour to get to the sang Thong National Marine Park as it was recommended for driving with small children.
Certainly the ship is beautiful. The crew was totally nice, there was nothing wrong with food and drinks.
But we drove a total of seven and a half hours to spend less than two hours in the national park. One hour and fifteen minutes on one island, 40 minutes on the second island. On the first island a thunderstorm came down at the exact moment, so we could not make the hike to the lookout point (which is why we wanted to go to the national park). Although the sky became brighter again towards the end, the departure time was strictly adhered to. Here I would have liked a little more empathy. Perhaps leave a little more time to make this moment in the national park even possible. Due to the thunderstorm, the sea was much stronger and coming back from the beach to the boat (via a pontoon jetty rocking massively in the waves and a longtail boat) was a real thrill for us with small children. The Thais are simply painless there too.
Sure, the Red Baron's crew couldn't help the weather, but as I said, something about the group would be nice.
The return journey has dragged on forever, arrival times always glossed over.
Overall, I really have to say, we were disappointed. The time on the ship in no way justifies the short visit to the national park.

Know before you go - We were told to meet at a certain time and location. No one was there and we waited for over 45 minutes. We had to ask random people who looked like there maybe apart of this company as no one had name tags nor any type of uniform. By the time we got on the boat our welcome drinks were warm and ingredients were separating. The speaker which they conveyed what was going on did not work properly, the boat had mechanical issues, The buffet food was left in the sun, until all the people were back from snorkelling. They had free water & soda pop and coffee and tea, if you wanted anything different to drink you have to pay $$ for it. Would I go again, no. Would recommend it.. if they pick you up at your hotel, if you are okay sitting on a very slow ship that only stops once for short while to snorkel and then one time to jump off and fish. Yes these 2 stops take all day. If that is something you want to do, this is the ship for you
