The trip was good, the staffs on the island are friendly, clear water so can see fews turtles. When we there the water so cold so we snorkeling just a shot time but we enjoyed it.

The outer barrier reef is truly beautiful, with vibrant, colorful corals. The reason we chose Silver Swift is its professionalism; it's a godsend for diving enthusiasts. Only after getting up close to the corals do you realize that a true "coral sea" really exists!

Fantastic day with great staff who look after every need. We stopped at two reefs and had a great deal of time at each. I felt very safe and secure throughout, they really look after everyone. Great lunch too with options for everyone. The fish and reef were beyond incredible and I only wish I could have stayed longer in Cairns as I would absolutely repeat this tour!

This was my second time at Phi Loi Island. The last time I went snorkeling alone, I saw a sea turtle. This time, I went to the beach behind the island with my daughter and saw a Napoleon fish. I was incredibly lucky!

Have access to 3 amazing reefs and crew is amazing. Safety is taken seriously and hence you feel safe while snorkelling (even you don’t know swimming like me ). For first time scuba divers, maybe practicing in pool water could have been better for acclimatisation to give confidence.
