could have been much better
bilge_a, Apr 2024
nature was beautiful and the team on the boat was very kind and helpful, which made our trip enjoyable. however, terrible hygiene, no paper and no soap in the toilet, also toilet doesn't flush. they put a big bucket full of water so you can clean after yourself, but other tourists didn't even bother doing that, simply disgusting. they should asap fix this. oh and the 'kitchen' is next to that toilet, so re-consider when eating the lunch...

Not for us.
Kanika_A, Apr 2024
It was a nice experience alone.... But, this tour included another tour group that did not speak English (I signed up for the English tour) and I felt we were overwhelmed by that tour group and it's leader, instead of getting to hear our tour guide. It was also waaay to crowded with 40 people. The spots were beautiful but touristy. Next time we'll book a private tour. This was too much going on with too many people to maneuver around.

Really fun and well organized by Tommy!
Jenny_T, Apr 2024
Got food poisioning before the tour and they wanted to charge me $1,800THB for asking to reschedule the date. Luckily I referred my friends to go and they were charged $2,700 THB/per person which is cheaper than what I paid for. Take motion sickness pill beforehand because that saved me (our friend got sick after). The food was good and canoeing was really relaxing. Wished we got to stay longer in the caves but because there was so much people canoing traffic, it got cut short & James Bond was kinda boring but overall had a great and relaxing trip!

Beautiful scenery, great staff, great day!
Marlana_S, Mar 2024
Beautiful Tour of islands, with a canoe tour of caves/lagoons. Cop was our guide on canoe and he also drove boat. He was delightful and funny. Noon was the lead on the boat and took excellent care of guests, telling them about next stop, lunch, keeping order. Boat had water/coffee/tea, lunch included chicken wings, fried rice, noodles, stir fry chicken,very nice!! Stop to swim was very nice. My husband has limited mobility due to back injury and they were so helpful to him. He didn't miss anything!We chose the big boat to avoid the speedboat bumps. A beautiful day long trip.

Great tour of James Bond Island
Tom_A, Mar 2024
Loved the tour of James Bond Island and canoeing in the bay caves! Great energetic guide and good lunch provided. The boat was big and roomy but slower than speed boats. Caution it’s on east coast so if your hotel is on west coast it will take a while to get to the boat after all the other passenger Dropoffs

The kayaking through the caves was the highlight! We loved seeing James Bond Island as well…but very busy and touristy. Our guide Tony was awesome and very accommodating! The food was excellent and such a fun atmosphere. Would highly recommend!!

Great trip!!
Wallacemarsha, Mar 2024
We really enjoyed the entire trip but the best parts were the cave canoeing, viewing James Bond island and the swimming at the end. I tried to upload some of our photos. Hope you got some of them at least. Very well done!!

Great trip! Easy day and a delicious lunch. Definitely bring some sunscreen, the boat is covered but there's lots of exposure with the 2 canoe rides and boat ride back and forth.

Solo Traveler Approved ❤️
Shannon_P, Mar 2024
I had such an amazing time on this tour. Everything was well organized and planned. There was enough time to see and do all the activities detailed in the itenerary. As a solo traveler, I felt safe and comfortable. I met a great group of people who became friends by the end of the day. So much so we all went out that evening. The food was great and Tony, the host was awesome. He kept us informed throughout the day, gave us some history and kept us laughing. For a day trip, it flew by and plenty of laughs along the way! And of course the sights were breathtaking.

Still a fun day.
Jason_A, Mar 2024
Staff was friendly, food was good, however we were hoping to go canoeing around the islands on our own, but these canoes each have a guide/operator so you basically go where hundreds of other guided canoes go. Still a fun day though.

Nataliia_U, Mar 2024
Very well-organized tour. Transfer was on time in the morning, and the car was already waiting for us after the tour. The boat was clean, kayaking was nice, great lunch. After swimming they provided us with a shower not to be in a salty dust the whole day. We had a pleasant time and really enjoyed the trip.

The scenery was amazing, the boat ride over was easy, nice lunch buffet, and mostly a very friendly staff plus a chill vibe. We enjoyed canoeing through amazing caves and rock formations - and even had our own paddler so we could take pics and soak in the views! Recommend!

Phang Nga Bay Sea Cave Canoeing & James Bond Island
Simon_S, Mar 2024
Really enjoyed our day out. It was lovely seeing the hidden lagoons and caves followed by James Bond Island. The crew were friendly, welcoming and very hospitable. Would highly recommend this great day out on the ‘Big Boat’ as plenty of room to stretch out. The only downside was the driver who picked us up from our hotel took us initially to the wrong location (Royal Phuket Marina). We had to then travel to the correct marina which was a further 45 mins away in the busy traffic.
