this experience was very disappointing. Very Basic essentials were missing (no bathrooms for 5hours, no towels or refreshments), and the overall organization felt poor. The experience did not match what they made it sound like. Definitely not worth the price. You can find for 1/10 the price tours that will offer the same thing. The experience felt like a middleman setup — we were picked up, then handed off to different local operators (boat, canoeing) who seemed underpaid, with no real added value from the company. No cultural information was given. Not at all worth the moneyyy big scam. Be careful.

Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback, we’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not meet expectations 🤍
What you described regarding the lack of basic amenities, organization, and overall value is certainly not the standard we aim to deliver at ForeverVacation. We understand how important comfort, clear coordination, and meaningful insights are during a tour, and we regret that this was not your experience.
We also take your concerns about communication, inclusions, and the structure of the tour very seriously.
The experience was delivered as described, including the structure of working with local operators for certain activities, which is standard practice and part of supporting local communities.
We understand that expectations can vary from guest to guest, and we regret if the experience did not align with yours. That said, we do not believe there was any misrepresentation in what was provided.
We still appreciate your feedback and will continue working to improve our guest experience.

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.

Incredible! Beautiful! Nick our guide is the best! You need to request him. He speaks English well. He picked me up at hotel and took us to pier to get on long boat. The captain of the ship was so good. We went by 44 island we stopped in ice cream and diamond cave on the way. When we got to James Bond Islznd he had a gold play gun. The James Bind Man with a golden gun was filmed there in 1974 and they renamed the island after the movie. Then we had a homemade Thai lunch that was delicious, and sailed back. Incredible day! Don’t miss this excursion with Nick!

This was a bucket list item and we were so happy to have had our own tour in a private boat. Maria and the driver for the day were great. We drove via car for about 1.5 hrs to the small pier, rode in a private long boat enjoying the beautiful views, stopped and toured a cave, swam at one of the small beaches, kayaked (someone else paddled) at Hong island, got off and walked around James Bond island, and ate lunch/walked around souvenir shops at a small village. Things that were helpful to us: Wearing swimsuits with shoes able to get wet, bringing a change of clothes and ponchos for the unexpected rain.
Response from Host, Dec 2024
Hi Corrin,
Thank you so much for sharing your amazing experience with us! 🌟 We're thrilled to hear that your bucket list adventure was everything you hoped for and more. A private boat tour is such a special way to soak in the beauty of the area, and it sounds like Maria and the driver made the day seamless and enjoyable for you.
From exploring caves and swimming at secluded beaches to kayaking and visiting James Bond Island, it sounds like your itinerary was packed with unforgettable moments. We also appreciate you sharing those helpful tips about packing ponchos and wearing wet-friendly shoes—great advice for future adventurers!
Thank you for letting us be a part of such a memorable day, and we hope to welcome you on another adventure soon. Safe travels and happy memories!

This is a scam. Once you book, they will contact you saying if you need cushions on the boat, pay $150 extra. Don't fall for it.. the activity takes much less time than advertised. Stay away.

Our day with Patty was relaxing while being efficient at seeing a lot of sights. The drive out to the pier let us see a lot of the island and more local areas.
The boat ride was very smooth, and Patty helped us avoid the crowds, taught us a lot about what we were seeing, and took the best pictures for us!
Highlights for us are the floating village (amazing food), and all of the views from the sea during the day. Definitely recommend this tour!

This was a great tour and a good value for a private tour with a private longtail boat trip included. We saw some really beautiful sights on the trip and several caves that the larger boats couldn’t get to. Bessica was an amazing tour guide. I’ve been on tours all over the world and have had many guides, but Bessica is the best. Bessica was great about communicating with us before and after the tour. We were lucky to have Bessica as our guide for two days in a row. Bessica made sure to include things that we enjoyed on each day and took so many great photos of us. We really wished we could have had Bessica as our guide for our entire trip. We couldn’t have had a better experience!
