The chainsmoking boat captain ruined this trip for me. 30+ of those nasty local handrolled cigarettes while we were on the boat. i have asthma and there were 3 small children present. none of the tourists, even the smokers, were rude enough to do it in this small space with so many people. we all had disgusted looks on our faces and the clueless guide kept walking around asking everyone if we were ok. a mom asked to leave the boat with her baby girl at the first stop and get picked up for the return trip, skipping everything. it was so disgusting to endure that nothing else about the trip matters. the actual tour isn't by oh-hoo, it's by green group, and there's actually no difference between this and the 4 islands tour, so check the google reviews before you go

The trip was fine but the guide was very bad at speaking English. He couldn’t answer a single question which made it very difficult to communicate with him. It also made us a bit uncomfortable.

Departure was later than posted. Safety aspect can be improved as it felt more than 20 person in the long-tail boat at a time was too many. Some of us missed the Emerald Cave tour as the tour guide did not wait for those who last left the long-tail boat hence we have to head back to the boat.

The crew and organisation of this trip is great. The downside to travelling in a traditional boat is that it's rather slow, so you spend about 2.5-3 hours travelling to and from the islands in total, including the hotel pickup. This is a large group tour, so you're on a boat with about 30 people, with 4-5 similar boats at every stop. There is loads of space to spread out however. Snorkeling is good, I saw loads of unusual fish and animals, but other travelers mentioned that Koh Rok has better visibility and more corals. Lunch was tasty, the islands are beautiful. Worth a trip if you have time on your hands and good value for money, I wouldn't do it again however.

We really enjoyed going on this tour - the beach views on Koh Ngai and the uniqueness of the emerald cave itself were so cool that this tour would have been worth it for those alone. We also got snorkeling in at two locations and although the visibility wasn't great, it was still fun to be able to explore in the water around the giant rock islands in this part of Thailand. Our tour guide was super helpful and made sure that everyone had a great day. He was also really enthusiastic about helping everyone get some really unique pictures while we were there!

A really nice tour to experience the islands off the coast of koh lanta. We were picked up from our resort at 8:30 am and embarked our boat at old town at around 9. We were 29 guests on our boat and three crew members. We first headed out to an island next to Koh Ngai for snorkeling, then to emerald cave, next to a beach on Koh Mook for lunch and relaxing, finished of with snorkeling at Koh Waen before we went back to Koh Lanta. Unfortunately the long tail boat is quite slow which results in quite a lot of time spent just going between islands. In total we probably spent 3-4 hours just going. The snorkeling was ok but a lot of the marine life is dead which can’t be blamed on the boat crew or anyone but us humans in general. All in all a great trip with nice views and a really friendly boat crew and guide. Would definitely recommend!

This was a great tour once we were out on the long boat! We had a ship captain steering the boat and then our guide, who spoke good English and made the trip very fun. Note that a driver picks you up from your hotel (does not necessarily speak much English) and drives you to the pier. All the drivers seem to linger with no explanation on the pier, insisting that you need to go and buy tickets. THIS IS A SCAM. You do not need to buy anything at the pier. They are selling tickets for "cleaning the beach" that they will push you to buy, and then when you walk up the pier a man will come and tear them in half as if admitting you. This was not detailed in any of the trip's information and IS NOT REQUIRED. Half of our group refused and had no issue getting on their longboat. This is the only part of the tour that left a sour taste in our mouths, as the drivers refused to explain what the tickets were for and made it seem like you HAD to buy them. You do not. Once we got through that, it was a great experience. The snorkeling was awesome - we saw a moray eel, pufferfish, sea cucumbers, and all sorts of colorful fish. It was not the most clear water, but we saw a lot still. They stop at 2 locations for snorkeling, one before the cave and one after. Emerald cave was a fun experience to swim through, and the lagoon is beautiful inside. Finally, the last stop is on a beach near a village where they provide a tasty picnic lunch (stir fried veggies and a chicken potato curry with rice). Please note that bathrooms are available at this stop for 10 bht. Also, you can buy more drinks and food from the villagers right on the beach. We were picked up at 8am, got to the pier at 9:20, and returned around 4.

We were practically only spending time on a boat. First stop was meant to be snorkeling, but the water conditions at the snorkeling site were very poor, strong current, poor visibility in the water and loads of jelly fish. Result, 6 people got stung by jellyfish and one person injured herself on sharp rocks, due to strong current. Second stop the cave. Our guide already told us on the way to the cave that we wouldn't be able to go in due to sea conditions. Question begs, why did we have to drive out there for half an hour, just to go back in the same direction for another half an hour? Third stop, the island for some food. We were told that better snorkeling would be possible here, but only if you were willing to swim out to the coral reef (some 200m from beach), which no-one did due to distance (which was not suitable for not so strong swimmers). Only highlight: extremely friendly crew and the English speaking guide.

The 4 islands tour was perfect and just what we were looking for! We were picked up right outside our airbnb in Old Town Koh Lanta and then boarded the longboat for a day of island hopping, snorkeling, cave swimming and lunch on the beach. The tour guides (ours was named Ya) were very considerate, communicative, and fun! The water and snorkeling was beautiful and the swim to the cave added some adventure. The beach was ammmazingly beautiful and the lunch was delicious and just what we needed after a long day! Definitely recommend this trip for all ages (we had small children all the way up to elderly and everyone had a great time)!

A great day snorkelling, great value. The trip was fun, food was great, loved the snorkeling, exploring amazing beaches and Emerald cave.

Amazing experience We loved this tour. The staff was very friendly and spoke english quite well. They were also very organised and the lunch was delicious. Hardly recommend it.

Great guides, great snorkeling, and the emerald cave was unlike anything I have ever seen. Lunch was delicious and comes with a pretty nice view too

Cooler Trip, das Wetter war hervorragend. Von der Smaragdhöle waren wir nicht so angetan. Der Guide war super und sehr hilfsbereit. Wie überall sieht man die zerstörten Korallen. Alles im Allen war es sehr guter Trip.

Was ich leider als erstes sagen muss, obwohl wir in der Regenzeit diese Tour gebucht haben, waren es 26 Leute auf dem Longtail Boot, wir waren sehr eng gesessen und für die lange Fahrt echt unangenehm. Das zweite was ich bemängeln muss ist, dass bei den Felsen im Meer auf der Seite Schnorcheln durften wo keine Sonne war, und das Wasser leider etwas trüb gewesen ist. Ansonsten muss man sagen, dass sie sich Mühe gegeben haben und das die Höle sowie der Superschöne Strand an dem wir gegessen haben ein Traum waren.
