Great day exploring the Phang Nga region - Super funny, entertaining and informative tour guide. Great tour even if the weather isn't sunny. The highlight of the tour is the canoeing, where a boat man rows you around caves and mangroves' forests. Very special is also the visit at the island/floating city where a delicious buffet lunch is served

Good experience - This was a very well organised day trip. Our tour guide Ali, was very accommodating and ensured we got to see everything on the itinerary. I travelled solo, and my tour group was small meaning we didn’t have to spend a long time waiting for others or being in a cramped boat or van.

I’m forever grateful, for a beautiful relaxing(except dropped phone part) memorable day‼️👍🏻🙏🏻👏🏻

A perfect day - James Bond Island Tour - My friend and I have booked the James Bond Island Tour. It was a perfect day! At first, we visited the Monkey Cave which includes a Buddha temple. After that we had nice lunch in a gypsi village and took a boat trip through the beautiful nature and caves. And finally we saw the famous James Bond Island, had time to swim in the beautiful water and taking pictures. Our tour guides were awesome! Super nice, kind and helpful. They provided for water, life vests and for what we needed in the temple. I can highly recommend this trip to everyone! Nice greets, Zuki

Great tour! - Great tour! It was an immersive and beautiful experience that allowed me to discover places not reachable in other ways. I appreciated the kayak tour so much with the local man who led the kayak and made it a pleasant time. The transfer with the minivan was comfortable, the lunch was very good and the long-tail boat tour is an experience that should not be missed in Thailand!

Nice trip, as described. - All points were reached either by bus or longtail boat. The guide had a very charming impression, but was also not at all intrusive and gave useful tips during the process. James Bond Island was a bit crowded, but this cannot be attached to the tour itself.

Fantastic day - This was a really great day which started with a long boat ride through the mangroves and out to James Bond Island. Our other stops were just as great and the whole day was well organised and Happy as our tour guy was brilliant. The highlight of this trip was the Reclining Buddha, very special. The one downfall for us was the long road trip from Patong Bay to Phanga Nga
