I enjoyed my hotel pick-up to cruise location. The cruise was great with lots of refreshments, clean restrooms, seating and music. I had tons of fun and conversations with other guests. I got to explore underwater caves with the kayaks at two locations, James Bond Island was awesome to visit. The boat scenery of the many islands was stunning to see. The meal that was prepared was cooked with love from the chefs on-board. The staff did a great job of making sure we were okay. Overall, I enjoyed my time swimming and exploring the many islands of Thailand.

Most iconic place to visit, the whole trip was brilliant, pick up from hotel to drop off was great, our host on the boat was very knowledgeable and funny. Lunch very tasty, the canoeing was fascinating, definitely recommend this excursion.

My family of 5 had a fantastic time on this tour. It’s abit of a drive from Kata but worth it, the staff were fantastic, lunch was amazing and the views were the best!! James our tour guide was so much fun, he put of a little show at the end and got myself and others up for a dance. It’s a long day but it’s relaxing. This is the second time I’ve done this tour with the same company and I would do it again!

Well organised trip. Worth visiting James Bond island. We enjoyed cunning in the sea. The guide on the boat Sam was excellent cared for everyone and he organised good lunch.
Samiur_R, Feb 2025
Well planned trip right from pickup,on board experience, island trip,canoeing,lunch and entertainment. Staff was really nice and put their best efforts for an enjoyable trip. Lunch served on boat was nice with decent spread. Only one improvement suggested to make alighting and boarding at James bond island more comfortable.
Lavinia_A, Feb 2025
The boat tour was okay – good organization and nice views. A decent way to explore the area if you cannot go on a speedboat.
DeEtte_W, Jan 2025
The trip was wonderful and well worth the price. We got picked up promptly, they provided coffee and snacks and bathrooms before departing. We went on a open air shuttle bus to the end of the pier to the very nice boat where everyone got to sit to the outside of the top deck. It was open for beautiful breezes but covered for shade. We got canoes rides into caves on 2 different islands. Stopped at James Bond Island to explore, were served a big buffet ending with fresh fruit then went for a swim on the way home. Cold water avail through the trip. Bobby, smiley and the whole crew were so nice. The canoe rowers spoke english, took our pictures and stayed with canoe the rest of the family was in. Plenty of space and clean facilites on the boat.
Highly recommended tour group.

This was a great trip and excellent value for money. The crew were lovely and really put themselves out for you. The boat was lovely and the activities splendid. We as a family of four, two children aged 10 and 14 thoroughly enjoyed it. The crew constantly ensured you had plenty of fluids, snacks and lunch was very nice. Overall, a day of shared memories and must if you want to explore the islands. I am hesitant to upload lots of pictures as you should see first hand for yourself, simply stunning. Thank you 😀

This trip is well worth it. Very comfortable and nice pictures from big boat. We stayed in Kamala and it was about 45min to the pier. Then approx. 2hrs to James Bond island. About 30 of us on the boat. Stopped at 4 islands. Canoeing and the view is a once in a lifetime treat, you have to do it. This tour company was so well organized and on time. They are helpful and don't force you to tip. National Park fees are mandatory to plan for that, as well as if you wish to tip the guys that canoe for you and the hosts on the boat. All in all, a day well spent and something I'll remember forever.
andrew_d, Feb 2024
wonderful hosts ( thanks Mana) and crew. Due to injury before event I stayed on the boat and enjoyed watching my family and others enjoy the canoe rides.Whist the only passenger on the boat two young crew members offerd me drinks and were friendly. The boat is large and slow but comfortable which is what I wanted. Take hats and sun cream! when you leave th dock sit on the left side as that side has shade most of the trip.
the stairs on the boat are steep and unsuitable for older people in my opinion. We did this trip 15 years ago and its still a great day out.

Great day out with a lovely lunch eaten on the boat, and lots of relaxing in a piloted canoe with a highlight being the bat caves.
The water was a bit murky for swimming and james bond island is very touristy. Make sure you go at low tide so you can visit the lagoon in the cave.
Response from Host, Feb 2024
Dear guest,
We're delighted to hear about your enjoyable experience on our tour. Your feedback about the best time to visit the lagoon is appreciated. We hope to see you again soon! 🚣♀️🌴

The trip was well organized. James Bond Island turned out to be the last exciting one, going with the canoe and seeing the beautiful caves and lagunes was an experience I will remember forever.

I cannot recommend this trip enough! Just bare on mind that with the pick-up and return trips will take most of the day (our hotel was in Kata and were out roughly from 7am to 7pm). Our guide Mana was one of the best things of this tour (and believe, the tour itself is awesome). We had four stops - James Bond Island, canoeing around the islands, walking throughout a cave that ended in a place that took our breath away, seeing monkeys .. and to each stop you will be taken in an big boat where you would enjoy a very good local lunch with even more amazing views! Seriously, book this tour!

Great experience. It has a little bit of everything and you get to see a few of the islands. You even get the option of kayaking or being on the beach.

The tour was really great, the team was really nice and warm. It was maybe the best tour I had in my 30 days in Thailand. I only gave 4 of 5 stars, because the pickup and return to the hotel was a bit chaotic. On pickup I received the info to be collected one hour earlier first, later it was changed during nighttime, so I only read the info once I already woke up 05:30 in the morning :-(
The return to the hotel was delayed because the team decided that our bus had to wait for another guest from another boat - we were told this would take 10 minutes - it turned out to be 40 minutes and then the driver mixed up the hotels and we made a detour of another 20 minutes. But that's the only critics I can say.

Unforgettable trip. We recommend to everyone. The tour team was the best.
The best part of the canoeing part was that someone else did the paddle for us.

Everything was greatly organized from the start to the end. We really appreciate the Pick UP option directly from the hotel, the tour Guide information which were provided, tasty food which was served (even vegetarian/vegan options). Alltogether we'visited 4 Very nice locations And IT was a great possibility how to get to know Phuket islands better! We highly recommend you to take this tour.

Transpher hat super geklappt, sehr organisiert. Klimatisierter Bus. Zur Begrüßung gab es gratis Kaffe/Tee und leckere Snacks.
Die Schiffsfahrt war toll und es gab sehr leckeres Essen an Board (auch vegetarisch). Das Hightlight war das Canoying mit einem persönlichen Fahrer.

Belle journée pleine en mer. Bateau stable et sécurisant pour qui n a pas le pied marin. Paysage marin très beau, beaucoup d îlots. Note: vous ne pagayez pas... Le canoë est fourni avec 1 guide qui manie la pagaie. Déjeuner à bord excellent. Excursion indispensable à 1 prix imbattable.

Excursion agréable , la baie de Phang Nga est magnifique mais gestion horrible de Viator. Des frais supplémentaires qui ne correspondent pas à ceux annoncés au téléphone lors de la réservation pour le transport depuis l’hôtel et des frais de parc nationaux en plus alors que l’intitulé de l’excursion est « James Bond Island, frais de parc inclus « . Publicité mensongère ! Pensez à bien vérifier « ce qui est inclus / ce qui n’est pas inclus «
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Dear Christophe
We’re not sure why you’re trying to write this review at all. Since you call us before you gonna book this tour and we have mentioned that Airport area are not included in Free Pickup zone. So you were asking how much and you were ok about that.
Even on your voucher for special requested you write that by yourself that you want included transfer with 42 Euro charge as agreement. And on that day we have also charge you less that that too
So this is quite unfair! …
