Great tour - We really enjoyed it, our tour was from krabi.
About 1h30 minutes, through the countryside.
1) long tail boat - great experience
2) kayaking - we were being driven around and our guy was very good, went under the rock ( see pic )
3) James Bond island - that was very cool, could walk around, things on the island not too pricey.
4) panaye village - village on stilts. We went around it and really enjoyed that.
5) temple - could feed the monkeys, which I really enjoyed and around a temple.
A must go tour, we really liked it

Speed 007 trip - Beautiful landscape of Phang Nga Bay, but everything was happening too fast.
I also thought that kayaking would be more interesting.
Phang Nga Bay and Khao Phing Kan - wonderful

Great day but communication prior to trip poor - This was a great day and we saw a lot in one trip. The longtail boat was a great experience and the scenery was beautiful. The kayak to the caves was good but a little scary at times as the sea was choppy and you had to lie down in the kayak to get into the caves! I didn't know the James Bond film the island was used in but it was pretty nonetheless although crowded.
The negatives were that communication prior to getting to the boat was poor. It was not advised in the description that it's a 1hr trip from Ao Nang to the pier and as I was collected first in Krabi and there were lots of pick ups it was 2.5hrs in the van before the day even started. This was a really long drive first thing in the morning when you're not expecting it. Additionally as the driver didn't speak English, we never knew what was going on, and the van kept making stops with no explanation. The staff communication was really poor and definitely something the company needs to work on.
Monkey Cave was a bit of a waste of time and could be left out - there were no monkeys and not much to see!
All in all I would recommend this trip as a way to see Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island.

Not my best experience - While to your was as it was explained I was disappointed by the overwhelming amount of people at James Bond island it would have been nicer to visit a less populated location, the number of traders reduce people interacting as it’s all the same. The waterfalls may be beautiful in season but out of season just let the local children enjoy there swimming ponds. This should to take of the trip out of season

Not recommended - More time in transfers than in the sightseeing (4 h in transfers). The car arrived 15' late to pick us up (not a problem), after 30' driving he stopped 10' to put petrol and 20' break! (nobody needed this break), after 1h30 driving you arrived at the peer. We were 52 people in the long tail boat with only 1 guide! The guide was very good but he could not cope with so many people as he had also to help with the boat when reaching the sights. We stopped at James Bond island only 45', not enough as it is an overcrowded place, you have to queue for every single picture of the nice spots. Not recommended for people who are not fit as you have to "jump" to get into the boat, the peers are high and the tide is low, therefore not easy to get into the boat. The stop in the floating village for lunch was ok but it could have been longer.
The best and highlight of this excursion was the 35' trip on the canoe to visit the caves, guides were extra. Lot of time to visit the Monkey temple on the road back. Conclusion: if you are interested in the James Bond island, this tour is not for you. But for the canoe, temple, village, it was ok.
