My husband and I wanted to travel through the Phi Phi islands and were nervous about hearing the reviews of it being overly crowded and not getting much out of the trip because of it.
Yes, there are tons of crowds and boats BUT if you go with NAIM and his crew they make sure that everyone on the boat gets a good view and feels included.
He knew exactly where to go when we snorkeled to see the sharks, clown fish, bioluminescent algae, and even sting rays! Regardless of swimming ability, he made sure everyone was able to see them and always kept the safety of the wildlife and people as his priority.
On the tour, we also got to see Tucan and monkeys which Naim pointed out to us.
I was also very impressed by his ability to teach us all fun Thai phrases and history during our time on the boat and translate effortlessly between English, Thai, and Spanish.
I will say, this tour could’ve been a bust because of all of the people, and I often saw other boat guides just drop their people off with little instruction or recommendations at each island. However, Naim swam with us at every island and made the trip worth every bhat! Make sure to ask for him!
