About Safari Boat

The allure of an 'all inclusive' package can often be enticing for travelers, but it's important to be aware that not all packages live up to their promises. One such example is a package that included a visit to a waterfall, an elephant bathing experience, and a jungle walk with elephants. However, these activities were not provided, despite being advertised in the brochure. The pick-up service was also delayed, and the guests had to drive around for an extended period to locate other participants due to miscommunication with the hotel names. The zip-line experience, although enjoyable, was cut short to make up for lost time. The archery, however, was a highlight for many. It was disappointing for the guests when they were denied a partial refund for the activities they didn't get to do.

Another unfortunate experience was with a trip to Angthong Marine Park. Despite having a confirmed booking, the guests were informed on the day of the trip that it had been cancelled. The company cited a private boat trip as the reason for the cancellation, leaving the guests with no option but to request a refund. This incident left the guests extremely upset and their trip to Angthong was ruined.

Similarly, another group of travelers had a disappointing experience when they were not picked up for their day tour to Angthong Marine Park, despite having a confirmed booking. When they contacted the company, they were told that there was no tour operating that day and that their booking was not recorded in the system. This incident left the travelers feeling deceived and disappointed.

However, not all experiences were negative. Some guests had a brilliant day out snorkeling, visiting the beautiful bottle beach, and participating in archery and zip-lining. They found the day to be amazing and the value for money to be excellent. The trip, which cost 1,200 bht, also included breakfast, a fabulous lunch, and a mini cooking demo at the end.

Another positive experience was a trip to Angthong Nationalpark. The tour was highly recommended due to the good spots, friendly crew, and high knowledge. The boat was in excellent condition and the tour was rescheduled without any issues when it was cancelled due to bad weather conditions. The guests had an amazing day and were grateful for the 24/7 availability of the tour guide.

However, some guests had a less than satisfactory experience with the tour company. Issues included late pick-up from the hotel, snorkeling in a place with poor visibility and not much to see, a boat with engine issues, and a rushed kayaking experience. The lunch provided was not as advertised and the transfer back to the port was late.

Another issue raised was the smoking onboard the boat by both the staff and tour participants, which was found to be disrespectful and disgusting. The loud club music played on the boat was also unappreciated. The snorkeling and kayaking images used to promote the tour were found to be misleading. The snorkeling spot was disappointing with murky waters, few corals, and few fishes. The Emerald lake, although a nice picture spot, was crowded with tourists. The lunch provided was mediocre. However, the main island viewpoint offered awesome views and was the highlight of the tour. Despite this, the tour was not recommended due to the various issues encountered.
