It was kind of good. But stressfri to have time to snorkel cause "everyone" wanted to eat. And we had alot of indian couples that were so rude and didnt respect any time or foodline. And wanted to take phitos everywhere. To crowded over all. And alot of jellyfish so yeah...

I planned this as a 1-day trip, but I was supposed to arrive at 10:45 in the morning, and we arrived to destination way past 13:00! Since the ship back was 15:15 I was left with little more than two hours. All hikes I had planned within Railay I had to cancel because not enough time. I barely had time to eat and have a swim, then just come back. It was very frustrating. More than two hours delay is a lot!

The ferry was very comfortable and the transfer included to long-tail boat to the pier was very good. Scheduled to leave at 8:30 left at 9 but not a problem for me since I am on vacation.

Everything worked well, but we would get it much more cheaper If we booked it direct at Booking Point in Phuket

Excellent service however be aware that you may need to swap boats we weren’t expecting this, had an hour wait on a nice island which broke up the journey and allowed for a rest
