7 Islands Sunset Tour with Buffet Dinner & Night Snorkeling

Misleading tour description, not recommended

1 star – Misleading tour description The transfer started with a completely overcrowded pickup truck. There were 10 people sitting in the back (where there was only room for 8), and my 14-year-old son and I had to share the passenger seat. The 200 baht national park fee had to be paid in cash. Despite asking, I did not receive a receipt, only the suggestion that I could take a photo of the money being handed over. Even before setting sail, the guide explained that one island has been closed for a long time for nature conservation. Nevertheless, the tour continues to be sold as a 7-island tour. In fact, we were only able to step onto Koh Tup (Thale Waek) and Koh Poda; Chicken Island was merely a photo stop. So it is 2 islands, one photo stop, and 3x swimming/snorkeling. There were 32 people + 3 crew + 2 guides on the longtail boat. Tight as a nutshell. The ride was so rough that several guests became seasick; two had to vomit. The guides then handed out sick bags. Nothing more was done. Apparently a familiar situation. The snorkeling spots were disappointing. Mostly dead coral. Overall, pure mass processing and, from our perspective, clearly misleadingly described. Not recommended.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We are sorry to hear that some aspects of your experience did not meet your expectations. Regarding the number of passengers on the boat, we would like to clarify that all of our tours strictly follow the regulations set by the relevant authorities. The passenger capacity of each boat is controlled by law, and we never operate beyond the permitted limit. Our team always prioritizes safety and follows the required standards for every departure. For the National Park entrance fee, this fee is not collected by our company but is paid directly to the National Park officers at the entrance. The payment must be made in cash, as credit card payment is not accepted by the National Park. If guests require a receipt, they can request one directly from the National Park staff. This fee is a government-required charge that applies equally to all visitors entering the protected area. Regarding the itinerary, we understand your concerns about the description. Some areas may have changes depending on current conditions, including conservation measures, safety regulations, and instructions from local authorities. Our team always follows the latest guidelines to ensure that activities are conducted responsibly and safely. As for the sea conditions, your trip took place during the rainy season, when weather and wave conditions can change quickly and are beyond our control. However, please be assured that we never operate a trip unless it has been assessed as safe. Every departure is made only after consideration by the captain, experienced crew, and relevant authorities. The safety of our guests, staff, and the environment remains our highest priority. We are sorry that the rough sea conditions and the overall atmosphere did not provide the experience you were hoping for. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us continue improving our service. We hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future, especially during the dry season when the weather and sea conditions are usually more favorable for enjoying the islands and snorkeling. Thank you again for choosing our tour.

Really nice tour with great guide.

Everything worked out great from the booking to the pick-up and return transfer. Very nice photos in crystal clear water. Even Nemo ends up snorkeling. Corals partly unfortunately dead, but you can find enough fish. Staff very helpful. Luminating plankton is great, but you can't always see it.

Island hop!!

From booking to final landing the booking was wonderful. Sun booked us and helped us along the way with notification of pick up. We did 7 island. The boat staff was really helpful with loading and unloading at each island , they also helped a few fellow explorers with floating, swimming and snorkeling I thought that was so great to see! Over all it was a great experience!!

7 island sunset tour.

The tour was a great experience, good snorkelling and beautifully sun set on the sand bank. BBQ provided had plenty of food. Sila the tour guide was very helpful to everyone- and had made sure safety was a priority. We had left a towel on the boat after being dropped off and The correspondence in getting the towel back was amazing, the dropped towel off at a location the next day next to our hotel. Definitely 5 start to team
