    The Half Day Emerald Pool & Hot Spring Waterfall Tour was a mixed experience, but definitely with some highlights. The hot springs were by far the best part—very relaxing and soothing! The minivan pick-up was smooth and easy, which set the tone for a comfortable day. The Emerald Pool, however, was much too crowded, and the water didn’t feel as clean as expected. The edges of the pool were very slippery, making it hard to get in and out safely. I highly recommend wearing the rubber coral socks you should get yourself, as they help prevent to get hurt on rocks for instance. There’s also a small staircase in the middle of the pool that makes getting in and out a lot easier. The walk to the Blue Lagoon was pleasant, but you’re only given time to take photos, not swim, as the sand there sinks. The tour ended with a stop at a large restaurant for a light meal. It wasn’t anything amazing, but it was a good opportunity to relax and refuel. Overall, the hot springs were amazing, but the crowded Emerald Pool and limited time at the Blue Lagoon held the tour back a bit. Still, a solid experience!

    The Emerald Pool was gorgeous and felt like paradise. The hot springs were warm but too crowded. Lunch was okay, though not memorable. The guides were helpful and kept the group on schedule. The walk to the pool was scenic and pleasant. Overall, a worthwhile half-day tour!

    Beautiful spots but too many people. The pool was nice, and the springs were nice. Worth it for the beauty of the area but I would go again in a different season.

    Outstanding experience. Went on a traditional boat tour to hong island and we ended up with a fantastic guide and only 2 others on our boat. Only thing you could „complain“ about is that there will be other boats from other company’s too and it might get crowded.

  • Jimmy De groof

    We hadden een fantastische 4 eilanden tour gehad. Met een goede gids. Onze kinderen hebben van de speedboat genoten en het eiland hoppen. Alles liep zeer vlot en was prachtig verlopen

  • Wilfred Bouw

    Het was een zeer goed verzorgde excursie, vanaf het oppikken bij het hotel, tot aan de boot tot aan het eten, alles was netjes geregeld.. Absolute topdag gehad en een echte aanrader!

  • Gérard Michaud

    Très bonne organisation, guide efficace. Découverte des îles mais tour limité qui laisse de la place pour le snorkeling. Bon repas.

  • Jasmine Batchelor

    We had a lovely day on this snorkelling tour. The guide was friendly, knowledgeable and made everyone feel welcome, and the boat itself was clean and comfortable. Unfortunately, the visibility wasn't great due to the weather, which was outside the crew's control, so we weren't able to experience the reef at its best. My only suggestion would be to stop at a beach for lunch if conditions allow. Eating on the moving boat made me quite seasick, and I ended up feeling very unwell for the rest of the trip home and could not eat lunch. Despite that, the staff did a great job, and I appreciate their efforts in less-than-ideal weather conditions.
