Long day

Lori_W, Jan 2020

The tour was good, but looking back the day was just tooooo long. I think a 4 island tour/half day would be better. The waters were also really rough (not that the tour group can do anything about that). We couldn’t get off the boat at some of the stops because of that, which I think made the day seem even longer. The lunch buffet was nice. At our stop on monkey beach, the tour guide warned us to stay away from the monkeys and to not let them climb on us. My son did get bit by a monkey and we ended up needing a rabies shot. A monkey also bit another kid on the tour. So, listen to the tour guide.

Family of 5 Early Bird Tour

Mhhampsey, Jan 2020

This tour was highly disappointing. Online it said we would visit Koh Pai and Koh Phi Phi Don for an hour each and we never stayed anywhere except lunch for more than 40 mins. Most places we only stayed 20 mins. We ended up spending most of the day on the boat which was a total waste of money. You’re better off renting a long tail boat for the day so you can go where you want and not waste time. Also it was not a sunrise tour. You’re not on the boat until well after the sun has come up. All around the tour was not at all as described.

Early but not too early for the crowds

Darryl_R, Dec 2019

This tour pickup was early morning. But by the time you have some breakfast included with the tour, the crowds have already made it to the islands. The islands themselves were wonderful. But you didn't beat the crowds to them, other than where you have lunch. Snorkeling was so so, with some fish. But you also see lots of discarded trash on the sea floor and on some of the beaches. The Sea Eagle staff themselves were wonderful and friendly, eager to take pictures for you. Though you won't get away from the crowds, I do highly recommend this tour for all of the islands you do get to see. Some islands are closed or restricted, but that still doesn't exclude such beauty you will see.

Nice tour

Hakim_L, June 2019

Nice tour which takes you to multiple islands. However some of the islands like Monkey Island was not required. Also the lunch served at Phi Phi Island was not great. Another point is that our Tour Guide took a lot of photographs with his phone and was supposed to send them across but never did so.

Response from Host, June 2019

Dear Guest, Thank you for your reviews and we are sorry to hear that you had unsatisfied with our service. Monkey Beach is one of the places to visit as described on the website. We will forward your reviews to the operator to improve the quality of the lunch and the way to send customers a photos. Sorry for the inconvenience. Best regards, Rinda

Great tour! Everything was very well...

Erika_S, Apr 2018

Great tour! Everything was very well organized from the pick up til the end. The local team also took very good care of us. Service was exceptional - more than what we expected. Though a bit pricey, the extra charge was worth it. Very satisfied!
