I really enjoyed the tour! It was an amazing experience. The departure from the hotel around 11:00 AM was perfectly timed. Our guide was Vika—huge thanks to her. I got a bit motion-sick during the trip, and she was a great help. I’ll remember the glowing plankton for the rest of my life!

We went on the "Andaman Radiance" tour. It was a fantastic adventure! It was a small group, so there were no crowds of tourists at any of the locations. The views of Phang Nga Bay were stunning. Visiting the Sea Gypsy village was a fascinating experience. A huge thank you to our guide, Alina—she was engaging, informative, and kept things wonderfully informal! Thanks, "Treasure Island"!

An excellent tour! The 10:00 AM start time was perfect—we visited all the sites without the crowds. The wonderful Alina, who is in love with Thailand, made us fall in love with the country too from the very first moment, thanks to her energy and fascinating stories. I highly recommend this to anyone who hasn't been yet. Thanks again to Alina!

Today we went on the "Andaman Radiance" tour with Ilya from Treasure Island. A huge thank you for a wonderful and action-packed day! 🔥 Special thanks to our guide, Ilya; it was fascinating chatting with him and learning about the history of the Thai people. He took plenty of professional photos and shot some stunning videos for us—we really appreciate that. We traveled with our children (aged 8 and 10), and every location impressed both us and the kids. The White Temple with its dragons and the glass staircase were particularly impressive; we even got caught in the rain, but it didn't spoil the experience one bit. James Bond Island, the caves, and the "Gypsy" village—which was great and full of cats—were all highlights. We did some light climbing and admired the caves—it was truly impressive. Later, we swam and marveled at the plankton—a magical sight—and had a great time splashing around; the kids had a laugh with the cheerful Thai locals. We all loved it and came away with amazing memories. The kids said it was the best tour ever! We’re heading back happy and satisfied 😄—I definitely recommend it!

The tour was amazing. The locations—the White Temple and the glass bridge—were stunning. The timing was perfectly planned: there was enough time to take photos, explore the sights, and enjoy a coffee and a cigarette without feeling rushed or exhausted before moving on to the next stop. Being in a small group made it very comfortable—no waiting around for everyone else. A special thanks for the choice of boat! I had been worried it would be a speedboat that would rattle my insides, but the Thai boat rode smoothly; it didn't bounce over the waves or cause seasickness. I didn't manage to get a photo of the plankton, of course, but I certainly enjoyed the view. It was a fantastic tour, and I’ll definitely recommend it to friends planning a trip to Phuket. Thank you for the excellent organization.

We went on the "Radiance of Andaman" tour with Ekaterina—and what can I say? We were incredibly lucky! The tour itself is simply amazing: it features a white temple where you can immerse yourself in the culture (including trying on traditional costumes), a breathtaking glass-bottom bridge, a long-tail boat ride, and so much more—plus the "cherry on top": the glowing plankton! But this tour wouldn't have been nearly as successful if Ekaterina hadn't been with us! She provided a well-organized plan, fascinating commentary, and a truly warm, personal touch! Thank you so much, Ekaterina! ❤️❤️❤️

An excellent "Andaman Glow" tour with Ilya! Every location was rich and vibrant: the White Temple offered stunning visuals, the glass bridge and James Bond Island were breathtaking, and the glowing plankton was pure magic. Ilya managed everything brilliantly—we kept to the schedule smoothly and without any stress—and listening to his stories about Thai history was fascinating (honestly, it felt just like watching a Thai drama ❤️).

Ilya is a truly superb guide! From the very first moments, he established great rapport and managed to bring our whole group together. He shared only the most interesting highlights—cutting out the fluff and unnecessary details—while skillfully maintaining a sense of intrigue and mystery that kept us captivated right to the very end. He enriched us with a wealth of useful information and offered valuable advice applicable to all sorts of life situations. I also want to highlight the tour itself: it was packed with content and energy, and the route was simply perfect. A huge thank you, Ilya! I highly recommend him.
