Thailand Island Hopper - 14 Day Trip

My island hopper tour in Thailand was one of the best experiences of my life. The itinerary was jam packed, allowing us to feel totally immersed in Thai culture and activities, but still allowed us options to change it to suit us, and free time to relax or explore each location at our own pace. Our amazing tour guides, Arthur and Scotty, made the tour for us. Their knowledge of their country was unmatched, as was their enthusiasm and energy throughout every activity and even during the downtime in between. I had a medical problem whilst away and they were amazing in taking me to the clinic and carried out all of the appropriate aftercare for me. I also have specific dietary requirements and Arthur and Scotty assisted greatly by suggesting places to eat and translating for me when I didn’t understand ingredients. This was my first time with Tru Travels and I couldn’t recommend it enough. Being on a tour meant that all of the stressful and difficult aspects of travelling were completely taken care of by the guides, transport between locations was seamless. I have made friends for life in the other travellers I met, most of whom had come on their own and by the end felt as if they’d known everyone much longer. I am already planning my next adventure with Tru Travels, thank you Arthur and Scotty for two weeks that I won’t forget :) Georgia - Aug 2023

Taro and Big were amazing from the very beginning! They were fantastic tour guides and, more importantly, kind friends to us all during our trip. The tour was really well organised as all plans were told to us many times in advance. If we had any problems or questions Taro and Big would be there for us instantly. The trip involves a lot of transport but it was all super easy to manage (even with Thai time!) and made for fun times to bond with the group. The Island Hopper Tour is full of great experiences and has a good mix between organised activities and free time. There were so many beautiful beaches and fun nights out (Big is the king of the dance floor!). As a solo female traveller I could not have asked for a better tour. You begin the tour as a group of strangers and leave as a family of friends from all over the world. The tour has been one of the best trips I’ve been on and I would highly recommend to everyone!! I am so glad to have become part of the TruFam can’t wait for another TruTravels adventure :) Amanda Robinson - Aug 2023

My experience was amazing for various reasons. Firstly i loved the itinerary and how organised the whole trip was. There was hardly any decision making or stress from my end which made the holiday very enjoyable. I am very grateful for both of my tour guides, Eve and Smile. Smile is genuinely one of the nicest men i've met, and took the time to care and look out for each and every person. He is so kind and puts others needs before his own. An example of this was on the overnight ferry when one of the girls in our group felt very sick and he stayed up the whole night taking care of her instead of prioritising his own sleep. He was also very involved in all of our activities which helped make my experience fun and memorable. I am proud to call Smile my friend and hope to see him again soon! Michaela Haet - Sep 2023

My Thailand tour with tru travels was epic!!! I now love Thailand and can’t wait to go back. There was plenty of activities and free time, I also met such a good group of people and my tour guides taro and Fah were amazing, so helpful. I hope I see them all again in the future.

I have just done the 14 day Thailand hopper trip with my friend,, it was absolutely amazing. This was my first trip with Tru Travels and it certainly won’t be my last! We have made friends for life with everyone in our group including both tour guides,I can’t believe I only met them 2 weeks ago. I couldn’t recommend this trip enough. Our tour guides Taro and Biggy (the nicest and funniest guides you will meet) went above and beyond from day 1 to ensure that we had the best time possible! We felt so safe for the whole trip whilst exploring a new country (which can be quite scary), literally any questions we had they had the answer for us. This tour had a great mix of planned activities and free time to explore each place we visited. It was also so handy that all of our transport and activities were included along the way. All we had to do was pretty much wake up each day and we were brought to our next destination! I would highly recommend booking a trip with Tru Travels. Some of our highlights would have to be; staying in a floating bungalow in khao sok, phi phi islands (especially the boat trip on our second day) and koh tao- snorkelling around the islands and the pub crawl was also a great night out. If you’re looking for any trip to do, book this one!!!!! Niamh Galvin - Aug 2023

I could not recommend the 14 Thailand Island hopper enough. We visited many breathtaking locations and stayed at amazing accommodation - including floating bungalows and a beach hut. I have left the tour with many new friends and amazing memories. Our tour was made 10x better by our tour guides Arthur and Scotty. They were extremely organised, informative and fun. When visiting new locations, they shared interesting facts and information with us about Thailand’s history and culture. They made sure that the whole trip ran smoothly - all transport was seamless. Myself and my friend are vegan/vegetarian and Arthur accompanied us to most restaurants/street food and communicated with the Thai for us, which was extremely helpful. Also, both my friend and I fell unwell on the trip and Arthur and Scotty did everything they could to make us feel better by taking us to the clinic and helping us with medication every day. Everyone on the tour left with 2 new friends that we’d all love to visit again in Thailand. Thank you TruTravels for an amazing tour - I will certainly be booking another one!

This tour is amazing! It allows you to visit multiple places in Thailand in a short period of time. There was the right amount of rest and busy days. Our tour guide Taro was brilliant and so was the intern Fah. Taro was able to make us all feel included and make the experience amazing for us all! He was very knowledgeable about the local areas and was always on hand to answer to our every need. The tour would not have been the same if he wasn’t our guide! I would highly recommend the tour to anyone wanting to visit the Thailand Islands! Rachel Woolston - Sep 2023

I have had the best two weeks on the Thai Island Hopper Tour and met the best group of people! Taro our tour guide was so so great! He ensured everything felt stress free and always kept us updated with where we were going and what we were doing. Fah was also a great guide to have with us and took the best photos of the group! They were also both so fun especially on the nights out! They really made the trip perfect and I always felt like we were safe and looked after. The accommodation was all lovely and all the activities organised through the trip were so much fun. Highlights were definitely Koh Tao and the boat trip there and the Khao Sok National Park.
