It was a great experience and the host, crew, lunch staff, canoe guides and the islands were very memorable and entertaining. Safety was top priority. The bat caves are really cool. The islands are Thailands natural treasures, so less human time is a minor inconvenience to experience such beauty. Each has its own charm.

The boat trip to see James Bond island with canoing through some caves and to see the monkeys was worthwhile. The BJ Canoing staff was very friendly and helpful. The lunch buffet was also delicious and plentiful. The only thing I wish is to mention the park fee upfront or include it in the package fee.

Excellent service. Professional guidance. I was surprised at how well the trip was organized. We were traveling with two children and they never got bored, tired, or hungry. We chose the big boat trip to experience the closest possible real Thai boat trip, and all our expectations were fulfilled.

Picked up from our hotel & delivered back. The boat ride was excellent with kayaking & swimming along the way. We had an excellent guide, a beautiful lunch.

Great trip, everything went as per advertised itinerary. Kayak guides really made the best experience for our family , making sure our kayaks (2 people in each) stayed together so we could get great photos as a family . Food was good given it was prepared on a boat . Plenty to go round. Extra photos sent by your company by what’s app at end of trip a nice bonus .

We had the absolute best day on this tour! The entire team was friendly, helpful, and a ton of fun. The boat was certainly not the fastest, but that was part of the fun. Bobby, our guide, was knowledgeable, hospitable, and hilarious. We enjoyed all 4 stops we made. The canoe portions were absolutely unbelievable! We got to see some truly incredible sights. Lunch was delicious as well. Strongly recommend this tour if you have the time while in Phuket!

Such an amazing day! Picked up from hotel in Patong, and boarded boat in Phuket Town with no issues. Boat was comfortable, staff extremely friendly. We stopped at all 4 stops as written. We enjoyed each one and had enough time at each place. We loved the inflatable canoeing, the views were unbelievable and we were the only tour group there at that time of canoeing so no crowds. Staff took plenty of photos and were joking with us on the boat, even giving away prizes during a quiz at the end of the day. Water and fruit juice available all day, with fruits and lunch was delicious! Music on board created a great atmosphere. Such good value for money considering other tours charge a lot more. Great experience, thank you!!
