Rush rush rush jam packed and over- crowded

This so-called tour was the worst day trip I’ve ever experienced—and also the shortest amount of time I’ve ever spent on a tour before wanting it to end. Everything was so cramped and rushed that it became completely ridiculous. We were first ushered onto a speedboat where all we could do was stare at the people sitting across from us. There was nothing to see and no space to move—we were boxed in by the walls of the boat. We were taken to a nearby platform and herded off to wait for those who wanted to parasail. Once that was done, we were herded straight back onto the speedboat and taken to a second platform for those wanting to do the underwater walk. The rest of us just waited again. When it was finally our turn for the underwater walk, we were lined up like sheep, made to climb down the back of a floating pontoon, have a helmet dropped onto us, and then rushed along the underwater path. The scuba staff kept pushing us tightly together, even though there was plenty of space and no one else around. The whole thing was rushed, uncomfortable, and over far too quickly. After that, we were herded back onto the boat yet again and taken to the island. The beach was absolutely covered in tightly packed umbrellas—there was nothing “tropical” or relaxing about it. With so many people from multiple tours crowding the same small area, there was barely any room to enjoy the beach at all. We did go snorkelling and were given enough time in the water, but even then the journey there and back felt rushed. We didn’t bother trying to spend time on the beach because there simply wasn’t any space to enjoy. The meal provided was okay, and the tour guide coordinating our group did the best they could. But the entire experience was so rushed, overcrowded, and poorly organised that it felt nothing like the relaxing island adventure we were promised. I will never participate in a tour like this again, and the description of the tour was far from what we actually experienced.

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing such detailed feedback, and we’re truly sorry the experience felt rushed, overcrowded, and far from what was promised. That’s not the relaxing island day we want guests to have. We’re escalating your comments to the operator to review group sizes, waiting-time management at the platforms, and the pacing of the underwater walk so it feels safer and more comfortable. We’ll also recheck the listing to ensure expectations about the itinerary and crowd levels are clearly stated. We appreciate your note that the meal was okay and the coordinator tried their best, and we’re sorry your overall day was so disappointing.

Tour guides very nice. Didn't go to Koh Larn Got taken to Koh Sak. (Nothing there but a beach). Seemed to be geared towards Indian tourists

Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your feedback and for appreciating our tour guides. We’re very sorry that you felt disappointed about visiting Koh Sak instead of Koh Larn. In some cases, the boat may be redirected to Koh Sak due to sea conditions, crowding, or safety/operational reasons, but we understand this should be clearly communicated on the day so you don’t feel misled. Our tours are open to all nationalities, and while many of our guests are from India and we often serve Indian lunch, we always aim to provide an enjoyable experience for everyone. We’ll review your comments with the local team to improve route communication and expectations for future guests.
