- Depending on sea conditions, the tour will include one stop in the Hong Island archipelago for either swimming at Koh Lao Lading or Koh Pakbia, or snorkeling at Laem Kha.
- While flip-flops are convenient, water shoes offer better protection against sharp objects like shells or rocks on the sand, and provide improved traction on wet surfaces.

Escape, Relax, Explore! - I like to travel solo often, yet tourist attractions don’t always call my name! But this tour is definitely necessary when in Krabi! Easy, great way to explore all the islands and I highly recommend the kyacking in the Hongs! Along with plenty of water, fresh fruit, and food for all dietary needs!

A magical place - James Bond Island is an amazing place. It's phenomenal beauty. We visited the Bay of along in Vietnam... Well, James Bond Island is even more beautiful. Too bad the price of the excursion doubled in two years

Recent trip - The staff and guides were lovely and there was plenty of time to see the area. The boat was not the largest however I thought it was better to have a smaller team and I really enjoyed it.

James Bond wow! - Fantastic, everything they said it would be. Beautiful, only issue we had were the stall owners were very aggressive in their sale approach which was a bit off putting. Everything was great. Staff on the boat were awesome.

Amazing day! - I would book this tour again and again! The only reason that I took a star off is because we wish we had more time at Koh Panyee! We were picked up from our hotel and got to the pier early, met our group for the day and got on the speedboat. Our driver was fun and took the time to share information along the way. They even stopped to pick up a jellyfish and tell us all about jellyfishing. We loved that James Bond island was a quick stop because there is not much to do there and it gets busy. Kayaking with the caves was gorgeous and we loved it! We didn't realize it would be a line of kayaks and that we would be paddled by someone but it was nice to just be able to take it all in. Our kayak guy was nice and offered to take photos of us. Koh Panyee for lunch was awesome but we would have loved another 30 minutes to explore. The buffet lunch was good, not many healthy options but the flavors were good! The little village is fun to explore but we had to rush. Forewarning, there are small shops along the walkways and the locals (including the school children) are asking you the buy the whole time. But it was pretty amazing to see how they live. We especially enjoyed seeing the school center. Hong Island was just STUNNING! We got to swim in the lagoon before stopping on the island and enjoying two hours at the beach. The snorkeling wasn't too great because the fish weren't within reach but once the crowds started leaving we had a whole hour of absolute beauty and peace. The water is amazing. We loved this trip and would take it again in a heartbeat!

Good but not epic - Well organised tour with no waiting around. Hong Island was very busy and they didn't explain where to snorkel. Definitely opt IN to kayaking as that was fun. James Bond Island is very commercial and there is not much to actually see.

P[ease read before you buy. - Picked us up 1/2 hour late. We had ID and not the mobile tickets so a huge hassle. The driver spoke no English. The hotel reception vouched for us and still he was reluctant to take us. My bad as I should have had my phone. Other Viator tours never asked for them before. Viator sent out a reminder about the tour, however, received it later after the tour. We got in the van and driver drove like a madman. I believe he was trying to make up time. Many Discovery Tours were converging at one meeting point. It was mayhem! Got in a small run-down speedboat. No life preservers, no safety briefing. Driver spoke no English and guide spoke some English. No personalized service. There were10 of us and no introductions. There was water provided but no soft drinks as advertised. Felt very processed throughout the tour. James Bond Island site was packed with tourists and commercialized. After a couple of photos, it was time to kayak. Another joke of a tourist trap. Floating barges are the home base for these tour companies. This part was optional and had to be reserved ahead of time. If you didn't take the kayak option you got to sit on a bench on the barge to watch an army of kayaks merging to go under one natural rock arch, one at a time, for 45 minutes. Surprise. Each kayak had its own solo paddling guide with 2 passengers (at least they had life preservers). Next was lunch at authentic fishing village built over water. Although an interesting concept, bland food was served buffet-style in a restaurant-type hall dedicated to serving tourist groups. We were given the opportunity to explore the maze of the village only to find that it is actually a mall of vendors. Very disappointing. Next stop, Hong Island. Packed big time. Snorkeling was bad. The coral was all smashed up and its dust had fogged the water. Heartbreaking! At 3pm, other tour boats suddenly disappeared like magic and the place became absolutely beautiful. The best half hour of the day.
It was finally time to go back. A short time later we enjoyed some fruit then the speedboat ran out of gas. Is this a nightmare? At first the guide said that were waiting for people from another boat. It would only be a few minutes. Strange. After 40 minutes of drifting, the Park Ranger boat showed up with gasoline. It was siphoned into the gas tank and off again. Unbelievable! Finally got back to the pier and they put out their tip jar. A day lost and money wasted. Refunds should be made.
