Book this tour if you want to see Elephants ethically
We did a lot of research for a genuine ethical elephant sanctuary in Phuket. This seems to be the only one.
No bathing, no touching, elephants roam free and aren’t at the whims of tourists - they are put first. They also cap numbers and we had a very small group to observe the elephants. You can still get very close to observe.
Some of the stories of the elephants life before were so sad; the obvious scars from previous mistreatment for one, to the elephant that came to them with broken spine from over-riding. This reserve is doing good things, and is run by very kind and caring people.
Go here if you want to see an actual ethical sanctuary at work. Give this sanctuary your money.

BEST experience!!!
Book this! Genuinely the BEST experience ever! We had limited time in Phuket, but wanted to see James Bond island, Phi Phi island and Maya Bay, I stumbled across this experience and honesty it surpassed all expectations!
Top tip: wear your swim gear underneath your clothing, bring a towel, spare change of clothing, and wear footwear that’s easy to take off (e.g. slippers/ sliders).
It started with an amazing pickup service from our hotel! We were in a party-style bus, with music and cool lighting on the ceiling, it made the early start so worth it! We arrived at the boat’s location and we were given a selection of cakes and drinks for breakfast, before they gave us a quick talk explaining the itinerary.
We were so lucky because our speedboat only had 2 other families with us, so we had plenty of space on the boat (tour was fully in English as well!). The speedboat journey was actually so comfortable, fast and fun, I would definitely recommend this option rather than the slower big boat!
The crew on board were so lovely and would offer to take photos of us (for free!) and they also gave us plenty of snacks on the boat (for free) including: watermelon slices, cake, juice, water bottles, bananas etc. it felt so luxurious!
We saw all the locations on the itinerary, they let us explore the islands and take plenty of pictures, it didn’t feel rushed at all.
They offered an additional longboat and swimming experience, which we did take, (it helped because we were able to split the additional price with another family) - they let us swim in a lagoon with fish! Such a magical experience and great photo opportunity!
Lunch on Phi Phi island wasn’t the best for me (as I’m allergic to shellfish, they had very limited options, so I went to McDonald’s instead, which was of course great, haha).
Snorkelling was fantastic, they give you all the gear! We saw lots of fish and my partner saw a sting ray! They have a marked area for snorkelling so it’s safe and monitored, the crew also give plenty of time for you to return. They had a shower on the back of the speedboat which we all used to wash off the sand - so helpful!
Canoeing in the caves - also such a great experience, super fun!!
At the end of the trip they gave us ice lollies for free, and they dropped us back to our hotel in the party-bus again! Fantastic service!
Honestly, it’s been a whole year and I still remember all the detail from this unforgettable trip, I just had to leave a review!! 10/10 experience, would recommend to anybody!

The boat tour was...
The boat tour was incredible. Our tour guide was so sweet and professional. She took amazing photos of our family on James Bond Island. The canoe guides were informative and took their time to show us different rock formations. Such an out of this world experience.
The only downside was the posting and description did not tell us it would be an hour and 1/2 drive from our hotel in Pataong. The description was misleading regarding the amount of water and fruit snacks that would be available. Water was only provided at the canoe stop and lunch. Other than those small description mishaps, the trip was one of our highlights of our vacation to Phuket.
Highly recommend this tour.

Best adventure ever!!!
This tour was amazing!!! From the guides Mac to my kayak guide. So much to see and explore. All I could say is if you have to choose only one make it this. Mac was also a perfect photographer for James Bond island. He even had a golden gun prop for the photos.

Perfect day!
We had an absolutely brilliant day on our longboat trip around the islands, and I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area.
From start to finish, everything was fantastic. We visited some truly stunning places, including the famous James Bond Island, explored beautiful caves, enjoyed swimming, and had an amazing time kayaking.
A big thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Anny, who was incredibly informative throughout the whole trip. She shared lots of interesting facts and local knowledge about the islands and caves. She was also so friendly, helpful, and made sure we were having a great time.
Also thank you to our longboat driver, who was excellent all day. Both Anny and the driver were amazing at taking photos. They really went above and beyond to make sure we got pictures in all the best spots.
Overall, it was a truly memorable day. Brilliant from beginning to end — 100% recommend.

Best Tour!
We had such a great day on this tour honestly everything just felt easy from the start. The driver picked us up right at our hotel on time and we didn’t have to think about anything.
Our guide Rainy made the whole experience. She’s so kind and funny and just easy to be around. It didn’t feel like a typical tour at all.
We started with local snacks like A Pong pancakes and other traditional food and then walked through Old Phuket Town. Rainy explained everything in a way that actually made sense and kept it interesting without overdoing it.
Lunch at Mee Ton Poe was really good and she helped us pick what to try which made it even better.
The elephant sanctuary was one of the best parts. We got to feed the elephants and learn about them and it felt really genuine not rushed or staged.
We also went to Wat Chalong and the Big Buddha and the whole day just flowed really well nothing felt stressful or forced.
What really stood out was how much Rainy cared. She was taking photos of us all day checking in on us making sure we were comfortable and just keeping everything fun. There were four of us and by the end we felt like we actually got to know her.
Her English is really good which made everything easy and you can tell she really knows her history and the area.
I would 100 percent recommend this to anyone coming to Thailand especially if you’re from Canada and want to feel comfortable right away. If you can ask for Rainy she honestly made the whole experience! 10000% recommend!

Great tour perfect for families
Everything was simply wonderful, I recommend this trip especially for people with children. The lady guide and driver adapted to us 100%, food, drinks, what we want to see, stops – super nice, super patient. We asked them to take us additionally to the cobra show and to the playground, no problem, they stayed with us 2 hours longer than the trip plan.

Best tour of Phuket with Yo!
Absolutely the best tour ever because of our tour guide Yo! She was very well educated in all aspects of our tour from history, politics, government, social life and was just phenomenal. Request her as your guide and you will get the best overview of Phuket. The cashew place was great though I would skip the bling jewelry stop unless you just want expensive jewelry. Cannot say enough good things about this tour

Fabulous day out, highly recommended
Our driver Dul, arrived early and was very courteous and friendly and drove a luxurious SUV. We told him what we wanted to see and he did the itinerary accordingly. We had lunch at a lovely restaurant with a great view.
I would thoroughly recommend this private tour. Thank you Dul, for making our day special.

Great tour and great value!
Bella our tour guide was brilliant! She was super friendly and answered lots of our questions throughout the day.
We started off from our hotel in Patong and had 1.5hrs transfer to the Monkey Temple.
Bella gave us some facts about the Temple and we had free time to roam and explore. We then had a 20mins transfer where we picked up the Long Tail boat (life jackets provided!). The scenery was stunning and the boat great fun!
First stop was James Bond Island, where all entry fees were taken care of by Bella. Again, we had free time to explore and we’re not rushed at all.
Then we moved onto the kayaking which was approx another 15min trip in the long tail boat. This was great and the guides who paddle for you were chatty and good fun!
Lunch was then another 10mins away after that and the buffet food was delicious! Lots of choice and really tasty. We did a bit of exploring here but other than lots of stalls from the locals there wasn’t much to see/do here.
The whole day was well organised and Bella was great, really good value for money too given what was included! We really only needed spending money for souvenirs and fizzy drinks.

The best trip in Phuket
This is absolutely the best excursion in Phuket we ever had and the crew went above and beyond to make it memorable for my family and everyone else. We visited amazing islands, and Moss tour guide was providing great advice so we felt very well looked after. We snorkelled, had fantastic lunch, delicious fresh fruits, drinks, biscuits… Crew was at every step with us, were helping us with family pics on a boat or while snorkelling, etc. all included. Very well organised trip, which deserves five stars.
