I went on the "Andaman Glow" trip with Ilya. The guide was wonderful and extremely knowledgeable. The locations were superb. The only thing I didn't like was the lunch.

We really enjoyed the excursion! Our trip began with a visit to a white temple, followed by a glass bridge that offered stunning views and a real adrenaline rush (at a height of 80 meters). Next, we visited James Bond Island, which featured beautiful scenery and a "gypsy" (sea nomad) village, and the day concluded with a chance to see glowing plankton at sunset. A special thank you to the organizers and, of course, to our guide Katya—she is a very cheerful and knowledgeable person, and we learned so much about Thailand!))

I went on the "Andaman Glow" excursion with Ilya. I enjoyed everything very much. There were interesting stories, pleasant conversation, and the excursion as a whole was great. But the best part—we got to see the glowing plankton! ❤️❤️❤️

I went on the "Andaman Radiance" excursion with Ilya, and I absolutely loved it! It was the best excursion I’ve ever been on—I’m left with so many incredible impressions! A special thanks to Ilya, who shared lots of interesting information while we were on the way.

Almost a year has flown by, and I’m only just getting around to writing a review! 🙈😂 Better late than never, right? We’re heading back to our beloved Phuket soon, and as we look through photos from our last trip, a wave of nostalgia has washed over us! 🌴☀️❤️ Last year, we went on an excursion with our favorite team, "Treasure Island" (Ostrov Sokrovishch), to visit James Bond Island and see the bioluminescent plankton. 😍 It was a real little adventure—so much beauty, so many emotions, and such unforgettable memories! We’ve been choosing you for years, and we’ve never once regretted it! ❤️ Thank you for the wonderful organization, the care you show, the fantastic atmosphere, our amazing guide Victoria, and for memories that will stay with us for a long time to come! We’re off to Phuket again, and, of course, our vacation wouldn’t be complete without our favorite "Treasure Island" team! 🥰🌊 See you soon! New adventures await! 🌴❤️

Katya and I went on an excursion. On the plus side: the locations were stunning, and the tour guide, the driver, and the boat operators were all wonderful. A huge thank you to everyone! We were unlucky with the weather, so the snorkeling had to be canceled—but everything else was fantastic! We even got to see the bioluminescent plankton, which was the highlight for me! 😁
