We've been to Phang Nga Bay before, but this trip still felt fresh. Everything ran smoothly, the scenery never disappointed, and James Bond Island was just as impressive as we remembered. A very well organized tour.
Spectacular tour of Phang Nga Bay. The tour starts with picking up in Phuket to first take a look at the Monkey Cave Buddha, then catching the traditional long-tail boat to make a first stop and eat at the floating village of Koh Panyee, then kayaking in caves and finally visiting James Bond Island. Both the driver and our Happy guide very friendly and attentive.
This tour was such a fun experience. The kayaking into the caves and next to the rocks was so much fun. The local monkeys in the temple were so cute! The people everywhere we went were so welcoming and our tour guide was wonderful.
Scam. This particular tour is a complete Scam. They don't take you to half the places they mention in the write up. My kids looked forward to swimming and spent the day disappointed. Better off taking any other tour.
Its a complete SCAM. There are 8 stops listed on the program and they only take you to 4. Swimming was promised and they skipped that. My kids were so upset it absolutely ruined their whole trip to Thailand. There are plenty other similar trips to choose from so STAY AWAY from this one.
Was good I pay for viator 1288 THB and another 300 to the guide Nancy for the park , and another 100 THB for the guy canoeing , food was included , transport and pick up drop from and to the hotel . I can’t say was the best one driver and guide did their work , but James Bond and other things was just good ! Time this trip was from 8.30 am to around 4.30 pm
Well arranged. Your Guide Happy taken care everyone of us very . Picked up at the hotel in time and guided us properly and made it enjoyable.
This was a great tour!! I had a great experience!! Nancy, the tour guide was great as well and very knowledgeable!! The staff and Happy were also very communicative, which is a highlight!! I would high recommend!
This tour with our guide Happy was so much more than I even expected! We signed up for a tour of the bay with a long boat and some canoeing but ended up kayaking in and out of the amazing lime stone caves followed by a trip to James Bond Island, lunch in the Muslim Fishing Village, and a bonus trip to the monkey temple on the way home. Happy was extremely informative as well as an excellent photographer, offering to take all sorts of amazing pictures of my aunt and I on my phone which are now keep sakes I will treasure forever. Our driver was also excellent, picking us up from Kata Beach in the very south of Phuket and driving us to the very north to where we caught the long boat. The natural scenery is stunning, easily competing with Ha Long Bay in Vietnam. Do not miss this experience! And request Happy as your guide if you can! It’s an experience you will never forget.
