Traveler Reviews
This was one of the best trips of my life! The afternoon route to James Bond Island was a dream, especially the private kayaking. The entire staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming. A major highlight was the food; I was genuinely surprised because tour food is usually quite basic, but here we were served three outstanding, high-quality meals. Everything was perfect. I highly, highly recommend this experience to anyone looking for a top-tier tour!
it was an outstanding experience from start to finish . Great staff , well organised and food was delicious too . we really enjoyed the day and would highly recommend it
This was the most amazing experience from the minute you step onto the boat to the end of the day. Every crew member goes out of their way to make sure you have the best time throughout the day. The meals and muffins included were made onboard by the incredible team and were fantastic. We took so many photos of our day, we nearly exhausted the phone battery so make sure you have a battery pack to hand! Every where you turned the views were stunning whether from the boat of when in the kayak. We can’t recommend this trip enough
We had an amazing adventure. The crew on our boat were tip top.
The staff did whatever they could, for us to have a fantastisc experience. The food served was good and there was plenty of it. Your tour guide when visiting the lagoons and James Bond Island, was the same during the day and they sure did know how to paddle a canoe. Knew a lot about the animal/sea life on the Islands/lagoons and showed us both the poisenous and non poisenous goples and lifted them up for us to see them. I will highly recommend this trip.
This activity was a bit more passive than I thought being that the tour guides paddle the boats for you and it’s more of sightseeing the different island stops (except the one stop for self-paddling and swimming) but for what the excursion was, it was good! Well organized and skilled staff with managing the boats, they’re fun and ensured that everyone was safe and having a good time throughout. If you enjoy sightseeing and picture taking type of activities, I would 100% recommend!
was a truly wonderful and unforgettable trip that will stay in my memory for a lifetime. Food was available 24/7 and everything was delicious. The crew was extremely kind, supportive, and professional, and their organization was excellent. Each group had their own guide who took care of them throughout the entire journey, which made the experience even more special and stress-free.
Great food, air conditioned pickup and drop off, and great guides. 10/10 would take this tour again
Super organisiert! Das Essen war lecker und die Crew war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit!
Nagyon nagyon jó volt, jól szervezett, a dolgozók nagyon kedvesek és figyelmesek voltak, minden kívánságunkat teljesítették. Maga a program is pont tökéletes volt, egy álmom vált valóra mikor együtt úsztam a világító planktonokkal. Rengeteg étel volt és isteni finomak voltak.Nagyon ajánlom őket, és a jövőben is jó egészséget és szép életet kívánok minden ott dolgozónak.
What an excellent way to explore some of the beautiful islands in Thailand. Super well organised, spent the perfect time at each place. James Bond Island was a bit touristy, but we got to get some photos and explore briefly before coming back on the boat for a delicious meal. They kept us fed and entertained throughout the day, we watched a beautiful sunset over the water and then explored the glowing plankton. Could not recommend this enough!
We had an amazing time exploring numerous lagoons which is an amazing experience because you have guides showing you places that are not visible from the main body of water but you enter through caves so small you have to lie flat in the raft. Our guides name was Arsan who was the most kind and generous person with his effort and time. The transportation was timely and air conditioned well. The food was in three courses and was absolutely delicious because it had varieties of fish, chicken, soup, snacks and sodas.
