The trip was fantastic and included everything they promised! It was well organized with the schedule clearly laid out. The cave visit was breathtaking. The trip to each of the islands was well planned and the overall experience was very enjoyable. The team was very safety-conscious while ensuring that everyone had a good time. The bioluminescence was magical, and the team made sure we understood it wouldn’t look like the pictures online, which I appreciated. I would highly recommend this trip!

This is definitely a once-in-a-lifetime experience! Our tour guide was so nice, my husband lost his wedding band in the water and our guide went back with snorkeling goggles and a light and managed to find it for us! The only downside is that you can't take pictures of the bioluminescent plankton like they show in the ad. But seeing it in person is absolutely incredible! Totally worth the price!

Just wow! What an unforgettable yacht adventure in the gorgeous waters of Phuket. From the crystal-clear sea to the stunning island sights, every second felt like a fantasy. The crew was outstanding—attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was just right. The food, the tunes, the sunset… pure joy. Thanks for making this one of the most memorable days of our trip. Can’t wait to sail these waters again!
