I went for breakfast in this place. I absolutely enjoyed the atmosphere, staff were very friendly, reasonable prices and it’s a nice spot to swim in the sea as well :)

Incredible, trip of a lifetime. Hosted wonderfully by Bart and Becky, we took a private tour around Koh Tao on a speed boat. We hit the jackpot as the weather hadn't been good enough to get round the whole island for several months, but we had great conditions and did a full lap round. Best of all, there was almost NO other boat trips at the spots we visited. Every stop was idyllic, with gorgeous warm waters, clear for snorkelling. Better yet, we saw a huge turtle AND an adult shark at Shark Bay, which was a huge surprise and left us feeling very blessed. Bart and Becky's shared their expert knowledge and helped us name the fish we saw, told us interesting stories and facts and fed us some genuinely delicious snacks from their cafe. It was one of the most unforgettable trips of my life - don't hesitate to book. These guys know what they're doing ;)

We booked a half day private snorkelling trip, 4 adults and our 10 year old, when we booked Charlotte helped explain the whole trip in advance. On the day Liv and Bart were amazing and explained everything in lots of details and helped whilst out in the water explaining what we were seeing. We even saw a sea turtle which made the trip!! Don’t hesitate and book!!!! You won’t regret it! 🤙🏻 🐠

We had an amazing diving trip with snorkeling activities for our kids. It was all well organised and they were very flexible to change the schedule during the day. Big up! Shout out to Mira for being so kind and professional at the same time, and to Max for inspiring our boys to dive! Kudos!

Brilliant experience with Goodtime Diving. Huge thanks to Mira, Ana, Max, Daan, Shai, Beth, Mike and Bob for making the dives so enjoyable and professional. The instructors were calm, knowledgeable, and incredibly supportive, creating a safe but relaxed environment both on the boat and underwater. Clear briefings, well-run dives, and an all-round great vibe. Fantastic snorkelling experience with Goodtime Diving. Big thanks to Max, Joe, Gily and Michi for running such a smooth and enjoyable trip. Couldn’t recommend this team more highly if you’re diving in Koh Tao.
