★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 768 reviews · from $68

Review of Ang Thong Marine Park’s full-day kayak and snorkel tour from Koh Samui, with caves, Emerald Lake, lunch, practical tips, and value advice.

“Boat: The boat was comfortable and we had enough space. It was big enough and the sea was calm for us so it was a smooth ride. Staff: The guides and assistants were all nice and helpful. There were about 50 guests and it felt like an adequate number of staff. Activities: The conditions weren’t ideal for snorkeling but that’s of course not the company’s fault. The kayaking, however, was lovely. There was an opportunity to kayak a second time as well. A highlight for me was climbing to the viewpoint on Wua Ta Lap Island. This is no joke of a hike as it’s 500 meters up steep uneven…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 373 reviews · from $94

Review of a full-day Mekong Delta adventure from Ho Chi Minh City with kayaking, cycling, local food, river travel, costs, and practical tips.

“Kayaking the Mekong in a freak rainstorm was truly a magical experience, loved every second. A wonderful day out with Bao, who is clearly passionate about the outdoors and his homeland. Rice wine shots on the boat, getting to steer the boat along the Mekong, kayaking through small jungle canals... Does it get better? As for the bike ride - 20km sounds like a long distance, but you will barely feel it. You'll be too entranced by the surroundings. Be warned though - there is a short section of the track that is VERY narrow and rocky, with ditches on both sides. If you haven't ridden a mountain bike in…”

“HIGHLY RECOMMEND! We had an amazing day with the best tour guide (Arisa/Jum). She took the time to explain everything in the jungle and we could decide the tempo of our walk/hike. During our hike we spotted a lot of monkeys, snakes, butterflies and a lot more. After our walk we had a nice extensive lunch where we made our own Thai soup. She told us she really wanted us to have the experience of Thai cooking. It definitely was an amazing experience. After our lunch we went on de canoe. Where we just could lay down and relax. We’ve seen the most amazing views during our canoe tour. To…”
