Thai Island Hopper East

Affordable with all that it came with!

Excellent experience dude

Great trip - the last accomodation (Shiralea) could be changed to somewhere that's not in the middle of nowhere on Koh Phangan, but other than that, this is a 5 star trip

Trip exceeded my expectations the Trip manger went above and beyond which is why I rated this tour 5 stars

This was a trip to remember! it was totally worth it, especially the tour guide Knut, I can tell you the trip includes so much more than what is written in the description. It completely personalized attention. For example, even when there is free time there are different options our tour guide had for us. This is totally a trip for people who like to be busy and always on the move, there is from exploring the nightlife to adventures 7 am tours. Loved all about this! I hope all you guys get such an amazing tour guide like Knut, funny and great tour guide. Now I have a new family # contikifamily

Perfect price for what you get!

The trip was excellent. Itinerary was perfect as it had enough to keep everyone interested and enjoying their trip. There was something new everyday. The activities included were mostly add-ons that had to be paid for which most people had thought were part of the package, so that wasn't very clear when I originally booked with Contiki through STA travel. The trip manager was very efficient and professional throughout, but also very personable and had time to get to know everyone! I'd recommend Contiki as they ensure everything on your trip runs smoothly and essentially you're paying to have zero hassle on your trip and meet other travellers. But be prepared to pay a lot of extra money for the main activities as they aren't "included".

Would 100% go back again!

Our Trip Manager (Nut) was amazing. His enthusiasm and local knowledge was invaluable. He went above and beyond to make our trip fun and ensured we got the most from each of the places we visited. With regards to the activities... The tour in Koh Samui was fantastic, we saw so many sights and had loads of fun. The local guides were great too. Snorkelling in Koh Tao was good although the sea was very choppy and other travellers should be made aware that it isn't really suitable if you suffer badly with sea sickness. Our sailing day in Koh Phangnan was cancelled due to the weather which was disappointing. Instead, Nut arranged an island tour and this enabled us to see many different areas of the island which we would have otherwise missed. We felt like we were misled and mis-sold the trip as our STA travel agent had told us before booking that Contiki used "4 and 5 star accommodation". Although our hotels were fine and fit for purpose, they certainly weren't to this standard. This was particularly the case in Koh Phangan at the Shiralea Backpackers Resort in which our bungalow had only 1 working electric socket, no hairdryer and a bathroom window which let lizards in. Having said this, we still had an amazing time on the tour and it didn't lessen our experience, we just feel that STA should have been more transparent.

Great deal! The included dinners and excursions were amazing.

The best way to see these islands. Arranging hopping the islands on your own would not be fun

My trip manager Tanut was amazing! Very knowledgeable, trustworthy, and really funny and nice. All of the activities were so much fun (me and my friends did all of the optional ones). You can cater the trip to be as busy or as relaxing as you would like, depending on what activities you choose to do. Only thing I would say is there isn't much to do on Koh Pha Ngan, unless you are there for a full moon party, so if you like to party make sure you book one of the Contiki's catered toward that.

The itinerary was well put together. Had already done 2 contiki trips prior to this trip, this contiki was very relaxed. It had a good amount of chill time, as well as activities. Not to mention the trip manager, Matt, who was amazing, professional and fun all at the same time. Matt stayed calmed all through-out the trip and was very approachable if there were any concerns.

Phenomenal tour guide named Matt, knew the islands so well and had the time of our lives exploring Thailand. Was hesitant to go with Contiki initially but now booking by next trip through them! Only con was the added expense of optional activities everyday, it would have been nice to have more included activities.

Hat alles reibungslos geklappt!

Totally worthy every cent.

Matt (the trip manager) was amazing! He made sure we all had the best experience. The free time add ons were definitely worth the money, they were amazing. I would 100% recommend Contiki and this tour.

Tanut was an amazing tour guide, the trip was all very well plan from the beginning to the hard goodbye at the end. Loved the place we stayed and visited, just wished the trip would have last longer since it was such a blast! Definitely recommend this trip!

Tanut was amazing. Facilities were good but using a contiki owned place is very cheeky. If similar beach island tours were available I would book for other countries as well.
