Wonderful experience on a so-so weather day. Our tour guide, Happy, gave us a very warm and cozy experience throughout the day.
The tour guides and crew were fantastic and the trip was very organized. However, I do wish we spent more time canoeing and swimming and in the caves and less time on the island we ate lunch and the beach island.
We would really recommend this trip. We have two teenage daughters who also loved it-especially the kayaking in the cave! Our guide was great and we had the perfect amount of time at each location.
Wonderful experience with variety of activities, enjoyed the cave kayaking! The floating village and lunch was delicious, and all the snacks and water and beverages provided, loved James Bond Island!
We had a very nice day, we were picked up on time at our hotel. The guide and driver were very friendly. So much so that on the way back we were the last to drive and they offered to stop buying stuff at 7eleven since our hotel was a little far from everything. I thought it was very nice of them. The guide took great pictures of us at James Bond island.
