Itinerary
Wat Suwan Khuha, also known as the Monkey Cave, is home to wild primates inhabiting the temple complex. Descend into the cave temple and look at the statues and carvings before going to the pier.
Also known as the Floating Village, Panyee Island is a village built on stilts by the fishermen in the area.
Koh Talu is a private, eco-tourism island off the coast of Bang Saphan Noi, Thailand, known for its clear waters, white sandy beaches, and rich marine life, including coral reefs and sea turtles
Standing roughly 20 meters tall, the solitary cliff surrounded by turquoise waters and nearby cliffs of James Bond Island makes a picturesque oasis that is stunning everywhere you look. Note: Swimming at James Bond Island is not recommended due to changing tides and the protection of marine creatures. Want to travel in comfort and in style?

Our tour guide JoJo was amazing! She is so sweet!!! Trip Guru is an awesome place to book a tour, our trip was canceled due to unforeseen circumstances and we were able to book the next day. We had a lot of questions that they were able to answer all of them in a timely fashion. They got us in contact with our guide who let us know when pick up would be the next day. She also texted us the morning of when they were on their way. She is an amazing photographer/videographer and is so full of energy and love. We couldn’t have asked for anyone better! She even put together a little collage at the end of the trip!
Thank you for your wonderful review! We’re so happy JoJo made your tour extra special with her sweet energy, timely updates, and amazing photo skills—what a lovely touch with the collage! We truly appreciate your understanding with the reschedule and are glad our team could assist you every step of the way.
The whole excursion was amazing. Our guide, JoJo, was the best we could’ve asked for. So full of energy and personable with everyone in the group, took photos for us, and waited on us hand and foot (plus got people moving when they were holding up the group lol). The trip itself was amazing, the ride was comfortable, even for a bigger guy (6’2” 180), the monkey caves were amazing, highly recommend getting some monkey food for 100 baht, boat ride was spacious and leisurely but still fast enough to not take forever, floating city was great and the meal served was better than expected (plus plenty of food for everyone), plus James Bond island was pretty cool. Highly recommend, especially for the price listed. Maybe bring a snack or two if you get hungry though.
Thank you so much for your detailed and wonderful review! We’re thrilled to hear that JoJo made your tour so fun and personable, and that you enjoyed the monkey caves, floating city, boat ride, and James Bond Island. Your tips on snacks and monkey food are super helpful for future travelers too!
They are a completely scam. They do take you to James Bond island but they do no follow the itinerary as shown in the advertisement. I payed more than $300 usd for this tour for my husband and myself. And they don’t take you swimming as the add says, they do not offer water or fruits as the add says and their lunch is very limited. Also the time they give you at the park and entrances is no the same either. My tour was supposed to last until 5 pm and I got returned to the hotel by 2 pm. I don’t recommend this agency at all. Look for better reviews and there’s better prices out there. The only good thing about it was the tour lady Sofia, she was very sweet and nice.
We appreciate your feedback. If you could provide us with more information about your tour experience, it would help us understand how we can improve. Please feel free to email us at reservations@thetripguru.com.

The Monkey Cave was fascinating and my kids loved seeing the playful monkeys. The floating village on Panyee Island was so unique, it felt like stepping into another world. Canoeing around Talu Cave was both relaxing and adventurous, and of course, James Bond Island was breathtaking. Our guide was knowledgeable and made everything smooth.
I had a great day with my guide Jojo on this excursion. Fully recommend this day out you get to see and experience so much and in such comfort. Jojo was knowledgeable and a great photographer, thank you.

Great day out. Well organised from start to finish. Guide was superb. Lunch was good. The scenery amazing. I loved being at James Bond island. The canoe trip was better than expected but I was uncomfortable going into the cave where you had to lie down - I wasn't expecting that. The longtail boat rides were great. Overall a great day out.
