“Such a great experience! Me and my husband really enjoyed ourselves. The only thing we thought would be better is with the first island if we could have gotten more time to explore as most of it requires walking uphill and downhill and waiting in the queue to purchase admission tickets. The rest of the journey was amazing. Feeding fishes watching eagles get fed. Be careful with the second island as there are monkeys that don’t hesitate to snatch your food (we saw a few couples experience this) Would highly recommended!”

“A very full half day with a good variety of activities and sights. Not too strenuous for me (72 years old and quite unfit). Pick up and drop off were quick and easy. The tour started a 30 minute ride from Kuah, so with the normal hanging around to embark, allow 6.5 to 7 hours from your scheduled pick up time for the tour. The boat was comfortable, the captain competent and the English commentary excellent, considering our guide had to spread his attention across three boats. All in all, a very enjoyable tour, which I strongly recommend. Thank you too Nancie, for your great service from the tour centre.”
