The best day! Kakoe was the best guide and such good fun, very knowledgeable and super friendly. The catamaran was clean, comfortable and the team were so helpful. The places we visited were great and I would highly recommend this trip.
I'm not a swimmer and afraid of big bodies of water, but The Seanery ensured that I felt comfortable and safe. The Catamaran speedboat was a fun way to see the islands, we did not feel nauseous or anything. The overall experience was exceptional, they kept us hydrated and the lunch that they provided was really tasty.
This is definitely worth the money! The guides were so nice and well educated. The food provided for breakfast, lunch and dinner were good and worth it. Free drinks were provided through the whole trip (water and fizzy drinks). The way back was a bit choppy so I’d recommend some sea sick tablets which you can get for free in the boat ramp shop as well as waterproof phone cases and fans for a price. A photographer was on the boat the whole timer offering to take photos but not being pushy which you could then buy in a photo frame as the end of the trip.
Everything about this trip was so well run. There was nothing we could fault, Seanery did an amazing job at making sure each and everyone of us was comfortable and enjoying ourselves. The sheer amount of people visiting the Phi Phi islands was overwhelming, surely it cannot be sustained.
The tours are good. Be careful at Bambou Island, we stole a pair of glasses and a designer t-shirt. Otherwise, it's too short at Phi Phi Don. Overall, apart from the Piley Lagoon site and Maya Beach. Overall, too many people. Taking a cheap excursion, given the number of people, doesn't change much at the sites.
Overall, the trip was well organized and the boat itself was good. They kept the snacks coming throughout the day, which we appreciated and the staffs were good as well. However, the biggest disappointment was how they handled our group. Since they split large crowds into two teams for different catamarans, we requested to be placed on the same boat as our friends. Even though it was clearly possible, the staff refused to change our tags. On top of that, we were placed in a group where almost everyone was 50+, while we are in our 30s. This completely changed the vibe of the trip for us. If there truly were no options, we would understand. But when there are options, simply saying no without trying to help doesn’t feel right. It’s disappointing to hear them promote themselves as the best company when basic customer requests aren’t considered. Besides this issue, the rest of the trip was smooth. But the grouping experience really impacted our overall enjoyment.
