Our family of four had the best time! This was the first trip out of the country for our two teens and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience – for all of us. Our guide, Zam, was organized, helpful, knowledgeable, and funny. We really appreciated his expertise and how well he helped us navigate many different places and spaces. Our group included another family with teens and people from around the world who quickly became friends. We really liked the pacing of this tour -- a couple of days in each island -- and the flexibility on some of the days to do things with just our family instead of being locked into a very tight itinerary with the group. We added on a couple of days to see Bangkok outside of this island tour and I think that is a must-do for anyone visiting Thailand. Our favorite parts of the trip were snorkeling in the islands, hiking up to see the views in Ang Thong park, beach massages, and eating fresh and delicious Thai food.

This was an amazing experience. Every detail was planned well and spot on for a "wellness" tour. Starting with the CEO, down to the lodging, available food, and wrapping up with the activities planned. Just the right amount of "down time" too. Would highly recommend.

This tour was as advertised in terms of level of activity. It incorporated a variety of experiences & included interactions with local culture & give back to the local community through Planeterra. Participants came from different parts of the world & their ages covered a wide range, which offered the opportunity for cultural & personal exchanges throughout the trip. The sights & experiences offered were fascinating &, at times unique, despite & sometimes because of the heavy rain. The tour guide provided enough information about the places & people we encountered without being too talkative & he answered questions freely.

My overall experience was very good. The trip was well organized and our CEO was resourceful, helpful, and entertaining, I think that the information provided gave a relatively accurate description of the trip and its level of difficulty and comfort and the level of fitness required. Most importantly, I learned a great deal about the peoples, customs and places we visited, things I did not know at all prior to the trip,. Our exposure to apes, monkeys, and elephants was outstanding!

I spent a couple of days myself in Bangkok and found that wonderful, not sure why no city activities are included, but those days definitely added to my view of Thailand. Also not sure why we didn't go to chiang mai but overall it provided a lovely contrast of history and current cultural and spiritual customs. And the scenery is beautiful
