Short summery of my experience:

• Tip tip tip tip tip
• Snorkel and dive Trips only 1 snorkel, eat fruit on Sandbank til next snorkel spot. All three stops are crowded asf.
• Even trying to avoid tours you end up in a Tour Trip with same as above (snorkel eat snorkel and then back)
• no beaches cause of low tide. High tide no visibility. You always require a friggin boat just to snorkel lol.
• expensive tours
• tiptiptiptiptip…
• feel locked up. Almost all hotels huge walls, security, … Not comparable to SEA where you get a bike and drive around looking for the next beach, breakfast, dinner etc. .

Feels like america or too many americans came here teaching a flawed tip mentality. Most Services werent even tip worthy.

I know ppl are struggling but thanks I can carry my own luggage and save me a dollar tip.

Never again, worst Island I have been to. Koh Phi Phi is a dream against this.

In general this was my first and last time africa. Sri Lanka, India, Malaysia, Indonesia etc so much better.

Maybe I did it wrong. This whole Trip felt like a scam, especially mnembe Island. 1000 boats chasing poor dolphins I told him to turn around. 200 Dollar down the drain and no other snorkeling available duo to tide. Heck not even diving after 2 lol
