We've been on many Treasure Island excursions, and this one was one of the most anticipated, and it lived up to our expectations. We loved that our guide, Yuri, wasn't just a narrator but a true participant in our adventures. He didn't keep his distance, but rather engaged in the conversation: he swam with us, exchanged pleasantries, joked, and created an atmosphere as if we were old friends. It was one of those times when a guide doesn't just lead a tour but becomes part of the group. And this made the entire trip so much more heartfelt and memorable. The program is packed, and it's great that it's only two days long. Such beauty is hard to describe; you have to be there to experience it. Snorkeling among cute fish, swimming, viewing platforms, secluded beaches, canoeing through caves, and scenes from iconic films—everything was so unique, there was no sense of the sameness of the views. We even dared to climb up a cliff with Yuri, holding onto ropes—a priceless experience. All the viewpoints along the route, and beyond, are a must-see when visiting Thailand. The only downside is the meager dinner menu at the hotel restaurant on Phi Phi, so it's possible not everyone will have time to try every dish. We thought the tour would be a simple island tour, but at night Phi Phi has its own unique nightlife scene, something we hadn't anticipated. There's plenty of entertainment, including Muay Thai, Limbo fire, karaoke, and more. We'd love to see everything, but because we weren't aware of this, we didn't bring enough money and didn't get enough energy from a nap. Keep in mind that you need to buy drinks to sit on the lounge chairs at the fire show.
