Beautiful view despite rain - The boat ride was stable although there was rain on and off. Luckily, we brought raincoats. They do sell raincoats at the wharf. The view was nice. We were lucky that the weather was good when we reached James Bond Island. About the canoe ride in Talu Island, we eventually took the canoe ride as they have someone to row for us. Views are nice too.

James Bond Island for a James Bond fan - Big fan of James Bond so felt I had to see the famous island!
Before the trip we thought we wouldn’t be bothered about any of the extra activities…but the floating village was great too.
We didn’t canoe…but on speaking to other guests who did - they said it was a highlight.
The guides were superb - and we felt really looked after.

Great day out - We booked the tour with the speedboat but the boat was not working so went by long tailboat instead and it worked out great. The pier is a long way from Ao Nang, about 1.5 hours by mini bus but you see some great scenery on the way and on the way back stop at the monkey temple with its reclining Buddha and then some waterfalls, the waterfalls weren't as spectacular as you would hope and are really a filler to break the journey.
The trip out to "James Bond" island is very scenic and it you have booked the optional kayaking you stop along the way to be paddled around an island looking into caves and you can see quite a lot of wildlife. The local who took us was very informative. "James Bond island is small but scenic but has lots of souvenir stalls which detract from it a bit. On the way back you stop at the stilted village for lunch which was quite good, you have time to have a walk through the village.
The locals were saying that it was very quiet as there were no Chinese visitors but it all seemed very busy to us so one can only imagine that when the Chinese are mobile then it is really crowded.

Spectacular scenery - Prompt pick up , big day out . I really enjoyed the long tail boat trip out to the first island . The canoeing option is a must, although the canoe guide was constantly on about giving him a tip. Spectacular scenery through the cave in the middle of the island . James Bond island is a must see , sometimes hard to get a picture without lots of tourists in it . Great setting for lunch but don’t expect much from the smorgasbord... monkeys at the temple provided entertainment. Had a swim in the waterfall pools to finish off the day before the 1 1/2 hour shuttle back to Krabi town . The staff were friendly and overall had a memorable experience.

Great trip - Great trip, good guide, good weather, amazing island.
Especially canoeing on the lake, transportation is 15 minutes late. Long tail boats are good.

Don’t waste a day of your vacation - This is pretty much a tourist trap.
I would recommend just doing a trip to only James Bond island if that is what you want to see like we did.
The pickup was on time and it was an hour and a half drive to the temple. We had a little time there. (Although others on our trip mentioned that they only had under 10 min at the temple. Which is basically enough time to run up to it and back to the car) We continued to the boat dock with a very large group of people. The boat is very loud and run down. When arriving to James Bond island you see immediately that it is absoluty packed. The person on the boat with us Cindy just told us what time to be back and no other info. (That’s all we got for the whole trip. There was no guide or information provided like the booking states there should be).
When it was time to get back to the boat Cindy was no where to be seen and no one knew which boat to get on as they are all the same. There was so much confusion. This was now over 4 hours into the trip and no water was provided yet. The booking states drinking water is provided. So we had to purchase water for high prices both at the temple and the island.
Next we get taken to a floating dock where you just sit and wait for an hour while a different tour kayaks. This was useless and a complete waste of time.
Everyone was very annoyed. Also heard them explaining to all of the kayakers that an minumum of 100 tip is expected….they don’t take 20 or 50….
After you get taken to the floating village which is not actually floating, you can’t really walk around it and you are just stuck at the restaurant there.
Overall don’t waste a day of your vacation on this.
