Exclusive Krabi Bioluminescence: Night Swim & Starlight Tour

Don’t be fooled, this is the same crappy 7 islands sunset tour run by Mariam Tours and marketed under all kinds of different names. I was ill afterwards and threw up for several hours that night from the food. We only swam with the plankton for 5 mins and the rest of the 10+ hours was spent mostly waiting around. If you are mainly interested in seeing plankton I don’t recommend this tour.

The island tour was nice and well organised but please don’t book this trip as we did purely for the bioluminescent part. It was literally a bucket of water in the boat not the beach setting as the photo would suggest

We had a great day going to different islands. I would recommend rock shoes for climbing the ladder in and out of the boat. Only 2 issues I have were the BBQ dinner was not a BBQ (deep fried chicken pieces, rice and chicken curry) and unless you get in the water you will not see the hi-light of the tour the Bioluminescence.

The tour itself was good and the tourguide also, but I would not book with this agency again. They had a big sign promoting elephant riding, which shows lack of insight and/or concern for animal welfare. There were also three cats at the agency, of which two were pregntant, and the staff showed no understanding when I raised the topic of spay/neutering. If animal welfare is something you care about, I would not book with this agency.

We booked this as part of a 7 island boat trip. It was very dissapointing to say the least. After a day of being hurded around like cattle with several other boat trips we saw some big rocks and some OK beaches. The last stop was to see the plankton light up at night in the sea. You saw more lights while lying on your back in the sea looking up at the stars!

The tour itself and the tour guide were good but I would not recommend booking a tour with this agency. They had a poster to promote elephant riding, despite the known welfare issues of the elephants. There were also 3 unneutered cats at the agency location. 2 looked already pregnant. There was no interest in taking any responsibility to neuter them. I would not book a tour from this agency again until they remove elephant riding from their offering and stop promote that kind of tours. I think it is unprofessional.

Great value for money. Some beaches were a bit crowded, but the tour was well organised. Nice food and highlight was sunset at the beach. For bio plankton I recommend jumping into the water when boat stops to swim as that’s when you can see so many of them!

I am very happy with Farus, our canoeing man! He definitely knows his craft. Our tour felt special with how his team put the tour together. Foods taste good, just a bit too salty for me. Too bad the glow of the plankton can not be captured by ordinary phone camera. Bring your own beer!

Amazing and really nice people. Maybe just next time refill the buffet as there wasn’t enough for everyone I saw. Thanks

This was truly like several tours in one. I'm glad I didn't also book an island tour because it's pretty much the same thing. You go to chicken island, poda island and the one you can walk between islands through shallow water. There was also snorkeling in several different locations. The fish were beautiful, and we even found Nemo and some live coral. If you get sea sick like me, be prepared for like 3 hours of either being on the boat or in the water off shore in a row. It was a little much, but so beautiful it was worth getting a little sick. I recommend bringing snacks as they don't feed you until about 6:00. The food was really good. The bioluminescent plankton were there, but you need to manage your expectations. It isn't like the pictures, but there's enough to have a great time. It's fun to see them. The staff were super friendly and helpful!
