Wir haben heute die VIP-Tour in den Ang Thong Nationalpark für 1.850 Baht pro Person gemacht und über Samui Tours (Vermittler) gebucht.
Die Buchung über die Website war unkompliziert und sehr übersichtlich. Besonders hervorheben möchten wir den hervorragenden Kundenservice: Auf unsere Fragen per E-Mail wurde immer sehr schnell geantwortet.
Der Shuttlebus zum Hotel hat sich zwar um etwa 15 Minuten verspätet, aber das war überhaupt kein Problem. Auch hier erhielten wir auf unsere Nachfrage sofort eine Rückmeldung, wo der Bus gerade ist.
Durchgeführt wurde die Tour von Samui Tourina Marine. Los ging es am Pralarn Pier im Norden der Insel. Das Programm war abwechslungsreich: Schnorcheln, Kajakfahren, Baden und der Aufstieg zur beeindruckenden Lagune – alles war bestens organisiert. Auch das Mittagessen war sehr lecker.
Ein großes Dankeschön an die gesamte Crew! Alle waren ausgesprochen freundlich, hilfsbereit und gut gelaunt. Während der gesamten Tour gab es kostenlos gekühltes Wasser und Softdrinks. Captain Jack hat uns sicher durch den Nationalpark gebracht.
Ein besonderes Lob geht an unseren englischsprachigen Guide Philip. Er war jederzeit freundlich, aufmerksam und hatte immer ein offenes Ohr für Fragen. Man hat deutlich gemerkt, dass er seinen Job mit viel Freude macht. So wünscht man sich einen Tourguide – vielen Dank!
Wir waren nur etwa 20 Personen auf dem Boot, was im Vergleich zu vielen anderen Anbietern eine eher kleine Gruppe ist. Dadurch war die Tour deutlich entspannter und angenehmer.
Insgesamt hatten wir einen rundum gelungenen Tag und können diese Tour uneingeschränkt weiterempfehlen. Vielen Dank an das gesamte Team!
Vielen Dank an Nak und Nan für diesen schönen halben Tag voller Informationen und Eindrücke. Die Tour war für uns als Familie perfekt und hat uns die Orte gezeigt, die wir unbedingt sehen wollten. Gepaart mit vielen Informationen von unserem Tourguide hatten wir einen tollen Tag und würden die Tour Jedem empfehlen.
The tour was very good and our guide Nat and driver Nan where very nice. It was really interesting and we are very satisfied. Thank you
A fantastic day. Really well looked after by the team throughout the day; they were all really good and especially Johnny who seemed to always want to go the extra mile for us at each stop.
This was the excursion that kept giving! I had low expectations but was very pleased when they were exceeded! The snorkeling was my favorite part. I went with my husband and 3 teens, we all had different favorites. My youngest is always bored and this trip left him thrilled. The guides were amazing and the natural beauty of the Thailand National Park was perfection. My husband, who is rarely impressed, liked the boat ride most of all. Thank you!
I could my pick-up Location a few hours before the trip started. Everything was Fine and the tour was so awesome :)
Sehr zu empfehlen, Crew sehr aufmerksam, nett, allein schon die Fahrt ist ein Erlebnis, Schnorcheln mega, Mittagessen super, alles in allem sehr gelungen
Très bonne organisation et personnel au petit soin. Point négatif, le Snorkeling est inclus mais l’eau n’est pas transparente ne compter pas voir des poissons. D’autre part l’eau en bouteille et le snack n’est pas inclus il faut payer alors que c’est indiqué dans la liste en inclusion. D’autre part entrée du parl n’est pas inclus mais elle est obligatoire pourquoi ne pas l’inclure directement ? Un peu déçu quand même on se sent lesé. Sinon le parl est vraiment magnifique.
We opted for a private tour, which although more costly, suited our group. It meant we could go at our own pace and leave different stops along the route, when we were ready. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the lunch at the mountain top restaurant was amazing. Great views at the mountain top and we travelled from tropical coast line to lush jungle vegetation along the way.
Perfect organization, timing, the tour guide amazing and very good English. Jeep very safe (Seat belt) and confortable. We really enjoy a lot !!!
It was well organized and the kids loved pig island. Just the snorkeling wasn’t really snorkeling as you couldn’t see much and the water wasn’t clear.
C était une possibilité mais je ne voulais pas y croire …. Malgré les recherches de l’équipage les dauphins roses n ont pas montré le bout de leur nez .
Nous avons donc pris la direction du snorkeling où il y avait déjà trop de bateaux amarrés par conséquent le programme a été modifié et nous sommes d abord allés voir l île aux cochons : sympathique mais un peu bondé.
Nous avons ensuite repris la direction du snorkeling où nous avons vu quelques poissons alors qu’il y en avait beaucoup mais la visibilité n était pas bonne car trop de bateaux avaient remué l eau.
Équipe très bienveillante, à l écoute des besoins.
Retour au port pour un très bon déjeuner . Dommage qu’il ait été un peu abrégé car il fallait se dépêcher de reprendre le van pour rentrer à l’hôtel.
Une belle journée en mer néanmoins .
Sehr cooler Ausflug, hat sich gelohnt. Das schnorcheln war faszinierend.
Eine sehr nette Crew, die sich um jeden gekümmert hat und sehr sehr freundlich war.
Kann ich nur empfehlen.
Great day out, beautiful surroundings and guided by lovely people! Thanks for thw unforgettable trip you guys 🙏🙏
An unforgettable experience! Although we didn't get to see any dolphins, the tour was amazing. The staff were friendly, professional, and made the whole day enjoyable. My 6-year-old daughter had an incredible time and even got to swim at the reef, which was a highlight for her. Thank you for such a wonderful experience. I'm already thinking about booking my second tour with you!
40 people all loaded in a boat, seeing nothing during the cruise and unable to move a foot as no space available.
Spent the day in a hurry, and sharing all the locations included in the tour with a lot of boats. The snorkeling area was overcrowded.
No instructions on how to use a snorkel, or a kayak. The only moment I enjoyed of this tour was the lunch time, very good and quiet. I would recommend an eco tour instead of this “vip” one: less expensive, same experience but able to walk on the boat and enjoy the view during the trip among the activities.
Very well organised ay trip from hotel pickup through to drop off. Staff are very friendly and provide meticulous instrcutions and deatils about the day meaning it all runs very smooth. The larger boat means a slower crossing but a much more stable journey
Plenty of food and refreshments supplied throughout
The views from the viewpoints are spectacular and worth it if you can manage the climb.
The only down side is the snorkelling. Very poor visibility and little of no marine life to see. The reef is not in a good way so no surprise.
The tour started with a private pickup from our hotel in the north in a nice luxury toyota van.
Then we, family of 4, were assigned to a private longtail boat heading to pig island.
This was key for us to arrive before boats packed of other visitors arrived, so we had almost one hour of privacy in Koh Madsum.
By the time the multitude arrived, we were heading to Koh Tan for snorkeling…
Again, moving at our own pace was great, and we arrived to a great coral reef spot all for us!
Once we got there, with the snorkel equipment provided by the organization, we enjoyed big time under the water.
And before the time was finished, we headed to the beach and had some snacks and drinks there.
Great team and organization.
When booking tours, you may be saving some few hundreds of bahts but really changing dramatically the experience.
Your own boat
At your own pace
Exceptional…
There was nothing terrible about the tour in general. It was about 50 of us fit pretty tightly in a speedboat. We all snorkeled off the boat which made it pretty uncomfortable getting in and out and moving around in general. Bad visibility that day unfortunately, not the tour’s fault. But there were so many people I was just running into people in the water. When we got to pig island, I was really disappointed in the conditions. There was no rhythm or reason. I thought people, specifically kids, were harassing the poor things. We saw boars get into bloodied fights running into tourists lasting upwards of 20 minutes without anyone stopping them. And people seemed to enjoy watching this. The dogs seemed sad and often scared. I saw one with a large bite wound on its elbow. I am a veterinarian and I was mortified. Please do not support this island. I know this plea will probably not make a difference. This is a big part of economy here and people from other countries whose animal welfare standards are not as the same level probably quite enjoyed it. For what it’s worth, the food was good I felt safe in the vehicle picking us up at the hotel and dropping off and the employees were fine.
The highlight of this tour is the friendly guide Nana.
My wife got some scapes and she personally attend to the wounds in a very caring manner.
Snorkelling is safe and the fishes are so cute.
Beautiful scenery at Pig island.
Go for private tour. No rush and personalised.
