the trip was absolutely great! suited for families and not a long one. The instractor Jackie was very helpfull and funny, all was very exlplained and no surprises. the boat had shady places to seat, the group was about 20-25 people. I read reviews before so please pay attention to these notes: 1. bring a hat and a beach towel with you 2. there's a pier shaky walking to enter Coral island so the trip not suited for disabled 3. bring cash for all water activities they don't take credit cards Well Done! definately recommanded!!!

Amazing experience! It was the perfect amount of time on the boat and coral island has beautiful swimming (watch out for the jelly fish). 100/10 recommend.

Great Boat

Sidarth_G, Jan 2024

Boat is nice and outdoor area is spacious. Very relaxing and food was good. Would recommend if you’re looking for a laid back experience.

Not as expected

Lena_H, Dec 2023

There was no sailing included in the trip, just going with the engine. The boat was old and in bad shape. The guide was not active and the information provided by the guide was not clear. No towels were provided. No snacka were provided, only dinner and drinks. I gueas you get what you pay for...

Great short boat trip experience

Holly_V, Nov 2023

Nice to be on the ocean, got to snorkel off the boat and had included meal on the island. Sunset was beautiful. Was a nice length for a boat trip. Not too long.

Chaos at all stages

David_R, Aug 2023

This excursion involved 2 catamarans and 50 or so passengers. The time spent organising the mini bus loads of passengers at the meeting point and then the wharf and actually getting on to the boats was lengthy. Eventually the catamarans cast off and motored to the Coral Island. Once we got there one of the activities was cancelled due to high currents so we staggered across a floating walkway to the beach and went swimming, sat in shade, drank water until it was time to stagger back across the walkway to board the catamarans. Then motored back snacking on terrible food. Fishing lines were handed out and many people fished for about half an hour before we motored back to the wharf and then disembarked, all before actual sunset. Then organised chaos trying to allocate people to buses (not sure what was wrong with the original lists used to allocate people to buses for the pickup in the morning) Definitely not recommended as an activity.

Average experience

CHINGAI_H, Aug 2023

The boat is a bit small and crowded. Almost 30 ppl on a boat and some need to stay at the deck during sailing. The service is quite good though. Nice tour guide and photo taking service (voluntary tips)

Margaret_H, Apr 2023

We had a good day out as a family. Three generations all enjoyed it. More snorkeling time and less beach time would have been better, but all in all, a good day. The sunset was worth waiting for. The crew were excellent.

Highly recommended

Glen_A, Apr 2023

Pick up from hotel was prompt and comfortable. Highly organized group experience. Cat was comfortable, good English tour guide. 1\2 hour swim, couple hours on beach where there was a bar. Food was at the beach in comfortable setting and was excellent! Highlight was underway and the sunset was awesome on the water. We both thought it was tremendous value. Dropped off at the hotel. Highly recommended! If we come back we would definitely do this again.

Great romantic cruise

Ashley_F, Mar 2023

We were looking for a romantic sunset cruise and incredibly happy we chose this one. Had everything we were looking for and more. In addition to the sunset - we were able to stop at various beaches to relax. Only downside is that they mentioned they would include a towel - but the sun was our towel anyway - and that food would be onboard but the buffet was on land. I would still do this again !!

Beautiful tour

Alexandra_L, Feb 2023

Overall a good tour, coral island is beautiful and the boat ride was fun. Good food and great snorkeling spot. We didn’t actually see the sunset, boat was already back to the pier by then. They don’t serve alcohol fyi but you can buy drinks on coral island. Staff was mostly great but the photographer only seemed to photo one small group the whole time. The drives to the pier took forever due to what seemed like communication issues, and they picked us up an hour before advertised. Get a lot for your money on this.
