Our concept is to optimize our day from sunrise to sunset (all other non-private tours only stay half the day at the park). You will enjoy your private tour in a relaxed and family atmosphere with a European guide speaking French, English and Spanish who will take care of you. Our goal is to avoid the crowds of tourists by leaving before the other tours and returning after. We will show you places located far from the tourist routes: Koh Tae reefs, a private beach, a lake hidden between rock walls (you can reach it by swimming), the Bua Bok cave. We will be in a small group, a minimum of 10 people and a maximum of 12. The food that will be offered to you is homemade. The snorkeling equipment (fins, masks, snorkels, lycras) for observing marine life is of high quality because we are a diving center. Our diving club has existed for over 10 years.
