Loved it, these guys are awesome
This experience has been amazing. Staff were wonderful - very knowledgeable and funny. They were very safety conscious. There were just the right number of people on the boat. Not too crowded. They helped take lots of photos for us. Food was delicious. Kids and adults were all entertained throughout. One of the best experiences in Phuket.
