“Tour was overall well organized with a bit of waiting time in the beginning, and they had stuffed a bit too many people on that speed boat. We literally sat shoulder to shoulder. I probably wouldn’t have gone on this tour if I knew how crowded everything was. Maya beach is now just designed to give turists a chance to take photos with one way arrowed boardwalks. On bamboo island (which is beautiful) you could only go into the water wearing a life west or else some lifeguard would whistle at you. Phi phi island stop and lunch was fine. It’s a crowded island but interesting to see nevertheless. Happy…”
