Amazing - This excursion is incredible. Everything is organized to make your day memorable. The employees take great care. The material is quality. We were even able to swim with a turtle, an incredible memory.

Unique snorkeling experience with attentive crew and delicious food. - Due to the waves and wind we haf a bumpy ride to Koh Tao. The crew was attentive and provided essential stuff. The snorkeling was wonderful, beautiful corals and alot of colorful fish. The lunch was buffet-style and had vegan options. Also snorkeling at Koh Nang Yuan was a unique experience. Optional to the water activities, one could hike to the viewpoint.

Amazing beach, good snorkelling - The island beach was stunning. Good snorkelling. Fast speedboat travel. Excellent buffet lunch. Breakfast at the start was not good. Banana and toast, could’ve have been better

Nice, but... - The excursion itself is not bad. Stopping at the last island is nice and the view from the top is majestic. A downside on the pick-up and boarding time: they picked us up at 7.45am... and we waited almost an hour and a few on the dock to board the boat. Also know that the crossing is long (it takes about 1 hour to get to the first snorkeling point); some were sick on the boat because it shook enough. They don't hand out gravol, they hand out bags to throw up in.

Food was so-so. But they give you 3 hours to explore Ko Nang Yuan - How much snorkeling do you like to do? I took this Koh Tao tour with Lomlakhirin. The employees are very nice. But Lomlak goes to 2 snorkeling sites, then spends 3 hours on Ko Nang Yuan. Another company (Mr. Tu's) goes to 4 dive sites and spends 90 minutes on Ko Nang Yuan. My one criticism with Lomlakhirin is the food was not good on Ko Nang Yuan. There were few vegetarian options. They only served Som Tam, and rice with steamed vegetables. They did not spend money on a good restaurant. They ate lunch on Ko Nang Yuan. Mr. Tu's Ko Tao tour went to a much better restaurant that offered Pad Thai, Vegetable spring rolls with sauce, Tofu, plus deserts and more choices for meat eaters. I was looking forward to lunch, so that's why the basic, lackluater buffet offered on Ko Nang Yuan was a huge disappointment. If I took another tour, I would avoid Lomlakhirin because they went to the cheapest restaurant they could find.

It was just fine - The place was gorgeous, but not enough time to enjoy it. Many people on the boat too. It’s a nice tour but honestly I expected more!

Not for anyone with motion sickness issues - 5 stars for the wonderful staff, the negative review is purely due to the extreme seasickness I experienced on this trip and serves as a warning - if you tend to experience any sort of motion sickness this tour unfortunately isn’t for you. The ride to Koh Tao was incredibly choppy since I was told that January is monsoon season (despite it being a beautiful clear day). The kind staff were prepared, passing out baggies for anyone feeling sick - less than an hour into the tour, at least 5 people threw up. I read a lot of reviews warning about this and came really prepared taking Dramamine ahead of the ride (and then multiple doses on the ride). I also had motion sickness bands on my wrists. None of this worked for me and I too was extremely nauseous before we arrived at the first stop (though I managed to not throw up on the boat). The staff were incredibly accommodating allowing me to essentially leave the tour - I truly don’t think I could tolerate more time on this boat and they took me seriously when I told them this. They booked me onto a large ferry from Koh Tao - this was much less choppy and a nice experience back. I was surprised what a difference a bigger boat makes and am really grateful to the staff for arranging for me to leave this tour. Please be careful - if you have any issues with motion sickness at all, I really don’t recommend this tour for you even with motion sickness meds like I had. Take a public boat to Koh Tao instead - it will be a much nicer experience for you.

Catastrophic transfer - + The young woman who was our guide did a super great job and was very friendly. Snorkeling at Japanese Garden was great too The island and the boat trip also very pleasant and beautiful The second stop when snorkeling also good Very clear water and high visibility Many beautiful fish and crabs Complimentary water and a soft drink - Now the negative! Transfer to and from the port was a disaster We were told 8:00 to 8:15 we were picked up shortly before 9 and had to run to the gate of the facility as the driver did not find the lobby. Then you were at the operator's office and allowed to walk to the boats with a hundred other tourists. Boat trip to the island took 1 hour Now to the island or “national park” Absolutely crowded with tourists. Not a spot without a human. There are also beach chairs that cost 200 Baht, as you are not allowed to lie in the sand with a towel lol. Rip-off. Why don't you just put down loungers? It is a national park and not a recreation Resort. Lunch is only available between 11:30 and 12:30. Was a buffet with rice salad and Maximum 2 fried chicken pieces per person ??? A grandma controlled it. We arrived at 11am and left the national park at 1:30pm. Either go to the vantage point that takes up 1 hour of time or snorkel. Both will be hard. There are of course hundreds of tourists in the water, many of whom cannot swim properly and many do not know that you should not trample on corals. No wonder most of the corals are dead. More time on the national park would have been nice. That would have been done by simply starting the tour a few hours earlier. Or if the transfer worked. The second boat stop was at “turtle Bay?” a bay on koh Thao which is right next to the national park. Here are of course many other boats with many other tourists in the water. It would have been nice if you had just picked a bay Indians did not make all the other tours also a stop. Then came the ride home. It was also pleasant. We were back in koh panghan at 15:50. That means instead of 7.5 hours, the tour went effectively 5.5 hours. This is stupid. The transfer to the Hotel Back took an hour for a 5 km route???? The driver kept us waiting forever because he was still waiting for other tourists. These tourists arrived by boat later than ours. Then he finally left after a lot of complaining only to immediately turn around to pick up 2 more people. He just went back to the harbor and nobody got dropped off. He just wanted to buy time. Eventually we were home. He of course could not speak a word of English and we were chased around by him and other taxis. Please change the type of transfer and allow even more time for the stops. I wouldn't do the tour like that again!

180 minutes of rough water - For anyone who is considering this trip, let me start by saying that the island of Koh Nanyuan in breathtaking and absolutely gorgeous. It's a national park so it is meticulously maintained. The boat ride to get there was NOT FUN. 90 minutes of rough water and pounding waves. As someone who usually gets nauseous on boat rides, I usually will take a pill or two before the trip. I didn't realize how long the ride was so that was my mistake. My gal got totally sick on the way back. Fortunately they provide plastic bags in case you need it Anyhow, before you go just be prepared for a rough ride. The island of Nangyuan is worth the trip. I really wanted to see Koh Tao but we never went ashore, only into a cover for snorkeling. It was good but I wouldn't give it a rave review.
