    We just did this trip with Alex yesterday and were blown away by the experience, if you're looking for a once in a lifetime experience that captures the beauty of Thailand and some magic thrown into the mix, this is a must. Alex is personable, professional and he made the trip engaging and informative. We were fortunate to visit four caves and their associated lagoons and be the only ones inside for the majority of the time - our own little secluded world. This tour was highly personalized, with just the two of us along with Alex and the two crew members of the Five Star speedboat. Boating and paddling among the towering islands was impressive. While the tour isn't inexpensive, it was well worth every Baht. Highly recommend!

    Have to be honest - don't know that there are very many tours I'd go on. Really like to explore on my own but...this looks like a great line up. As a former Naval Officer, Ive had the opportunity to see bioluminsecense on numerous occasions and it never ceases to amaze! It's a wonderful experience and to be in the sea and experience it on such an intimate level will most definitely be a bucket list item for many your subscribers. Looks like you, Alex and 5 Star Marine have ginned up a winner. May just have to bring my "Thai family" down for the tour when in country in May.

    Oh my! What an awesome tour! Alex is a terrific tour guide ... that would be a tour. We would definitely go on if we could do it quietly like you did and not be crowded out by other tourists. 😊❤ The scenery that Alexshowed you (minusother people) is what I look for doing tours. Too many people ruin the natural part of a tour. Beers not something we drink but if there was some Soda Water or Coke Zero, he'd be our friend. That bioluminescence is awesome! And those stars are amazing. Both thumbs up for Alex and his tour

    Best part is, you can go pretty much all year round. The location and nature of the bay are such that you don't have the low-season scary seas like in the Andaman Sea off Phuket's west coast.

    I dream to take my parents to see bioluminescence once in the life time. I think it's impossible because it's very expensive to take them to FL.
