Absolutely amazing day out, I would thoroughly recommend it to anyone, well worth the money. Plenty to see and do.
Response from Host, Mar 2024
It sounds like you had an incredible day out! It's always nice to hear when an experience exceeds expectations. Thanks for sharing your recommendation!

The only reason I didn't gave 5 stars to this trip is because they try to sell you stuff you don't need. It started with extra 400B pp that you MUST pay for the national park. Special shoes that they said you need to walk in the water (you don't really need that) and extra 20B for using the bathroom. Ice cream for 200B (and it's not made of gold) and other tourists traps that you want to avoid...
Starting with the transport from the hotel and back - smooth ride, not too long.
The tour guide Mr Boy, and the rest of the team are fun and friendly, the boat was speedy and we had a great ride at the front. The activity with the snorkeling is not amazing as you don't see much of underwater life but it was fun swimming around, the kayaking was awesome! Lunch was very good, Fresh Thai food, and they served cold drink and water all the time - free :) Thanks for a nice special day.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
It's good to hear that you had a nice day overall, but it's unfortunate that you felt pressured to pay for things that you didn't need. It's important for tour operators to be transparent about any additional costs upfront, so that customers can make informed decisions about their purchases. It's also good to know that the transport was smooth and that the tour guide and team were fun and friendly. Lastly, it's great to hear that you enjoyed the kayaking and the lunch. Thank you for sharing your experience.

Great tour activities, friendly staff and good food. If you’re on a budget, this is a great way to check out a bunch of cool sights all in one day. My favourite part was sea kayaking around Hong island with a guide! The only part I did not enjoy was the floating village which felt like a tourist trap with children guilting you to buy stuff.
Be warned that this is not a luxury experience though. There are lots of people at each attraction and you’re visiting at peak times. The tour itself has quite a few people on one boat and it is cozy and there is waiting around involved. I think this comes with the price point and is a great value. However I also paid double to try a more “high-end” tour and if you have the disposable income, paying more to have the space/more comfortable boat/see attractions at an earlier time with less crowds/no waiting around is worth it. I still loved this tour and if I was on a budget would book again. I would not book if you are not an easy-going person.

Thanks for sharing your experience with us! It's great to hear that you enjoyed the tour activities, the friendly staff, and the good food. It's also helpful to know that the floating village may feel like a tourist trap and that the tour is not a luxury experience. Your tips on paying more for a more comfortable boat and less crowded attractions are also valuable. Thanks for your honest review and we hope to see you again soon!

Sea and Cave Canoe was absolutely amazing to us! Everyone was very kind and patient. The design of the trip was well planned. We got out slightly earlier than the multitude of other groups so it started very peacefully.

This was a wonderful experience! I met some great people on this tour. The guides were friendly and helpful. They even provided water poof pouches to store your personal items in when you left the board. I have to say, even the food on this excursion was the best that I had the opportunity to eat while in Thailand. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Overall great tour.
Pickup was punctual came to hotel 10 min early, waiting room provide free refreshments and taste good. They even provide seasick medicine too!!
Boat was well mentenanced and guide constantly offer drinks and snacks.
The reason of giving 4 star is tour schedule is bit busy. we see a lot and did a lot of activity but maybe that was bit too much for us. We hoped to do more snorkeling.
If you dont stay phuket more than 5 days and want to see as much as possible in one day, perfect tour for you. But if you want to see or snorkeling relaxingly, maybe not this tour.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Thank you for sharing your experience! It's great to hear that the pickup was punctual and that the waiting room provided free refreshments and seasick medicine. It's also good to know that the boat was well-maintained and the guide offered drinks and snacks. However, it's a shame that the tour schedule felt a bit too busy for your liking and that you would have preferred more time for snorkeling. Your feedback will be useful for other travelers who are considering this tour.

Not the best tour I've been on. There is no snorkeling so I've no idea why the title says there is ! The visit to the bat caves was the highlight for me but the kayaking was all done for you on both trips out, at the bat caves and also in a national park. The boat was crowded so each trip out in the kayaks had to be done in 2 lots, so lots of waiting around. Lunch was mediocre, even though they asked for vegetarian numbers - there were 10 - the dishes weren't labelled so it was hard to tell what was in some. James Bond Island is overrated - small and busy with lots of shops selling souvenirs and shells that should have been left in the ocean. Our tour leader for the day was a friend of the tour group's owner, not a proper guide, and spoke very little English. Most of the time he sang along on his microphone to the very loud music that was constantly played on the boat, mostly middle eastern. After lunch he smoked his hookah pipe. Towards the end of the tour 2 of the crew dressed up as ladyboys which was amusing. Overall, not my cup of tea.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
I'm sorry to hear that your experience on the tour did not meet your expectations. It's important for tour providers to accurately represent what is included in their tours, and it seems that the lack of snorkeling was misleading. Additionally, it's disappointing that the kayaking was not more hands-on, and that the lunch was not satisfactory.
Thank you for sharing your feedback on the James Bond Island stop, and for mentioning the lack of proper labeling for vegetarian options. It's important for tour operators to accommodate dietary restrictions and preferences.
Regarding the tour leader, it's concerning to hear that they were not a proper guide and had limited English skills. It's important for tour operators to provide knowledgeable and experienced guides who can provide valuable insights and information about the destinations visited.
I appreciate your honest review and hope that the tour provider takes this feedback into consideration to improve their services in the future.

One of the best tours we had on our trip. After being picked up from our hotel in Phuket, we arrived at a cafe-type space which had amazing free snacks and coffee/tea. The team is great, very welcoming and accommodating throughout. Kayaking is wonderful, there is someone to paddle for you. At first disappointing since I wanted to get in some kayaking, but in the end it made for a nice relaxing day, and you can try paddling the kayaks yourself at the end of the day. Lunch was delicious, snacks and drinks readily available, a lot of time to enjoy being on the boat itself while sailing to and from each spot. Also a nice quick visit to James Bond Island, and sufficient time at the end of the day to swim and relax on the beach! Snorkeling as advertised is only if you bring your own gear. Returned back to land for more free snacks and drinks, and again transferred to our hotel. All in all a very well organized and executed tour.
