  Well organised tour with no waiting around. Hong Island was very busy and they didn't explain where to snorkel. Definitely opt IN to kayaking as that was fun. James Bond Island is very commercial and there is not much to actually see.

• Nice Trip

  We have seen many nice places and had a friendly guide. This trip is recommandable. The pickup time was early in the morning, but so it was good, that were not many Tourists.

  I like to travel solo often, yet tourist attractions don’t always call my name! But this tour is definitely necessary when in Krabi! Easy, great way to explore all the islands and I highly recommend the kyacking in the Hongs! Along with plenty of water, fresh fruit, and food for all dietary needs!

  Picked us up 1/2 hour late. We had ID and not the mobile tickets so a huge hassle. The driver spoke no English. The hotel reception vouched for us and still he was reluctant to take us. My bad as I should have had my phone. Other Viator tours never asked for them before. Viator sent out a reminder about the tour, however, received it later after the tour. We got in the van and driver drove like a madman. I believe he was trying to make up time. Many Discovery Tours were converging at one meeting point. It was mayhem! Got in a small run-down speedboat. No life preservers, no safety briefing. Driver spoke no English and guide spoke some English. No personalized service. There were10 of us and no introductions. There was water provided but no soft drinks as advertised. Felt very processed throughout the tour. James Bond Island site was packed with tourists and commercialized. After a couple of photos, it was time to kayak. Another joke of a tourist trap. Floating barges are the home base for these tour companies. This part was optional and had to be reserved ahead of time. If you didn't take the kayak option you got to sit on a bench on the barge to watch an army of kayaks merging to go under one natural rock arch, one at a time, for 45 minutes. Surprise. Each kayak had its own solo paddling guide with 2 passengers (at least they had life preservers). Next was lunch at authentic fishing village built over water. Although an interesting concept, bland food was served buffet-style in a restaurant-type hall dedicated to serving tourist groups. We were given the opportunity to explore the maze of the village only to find that it is actually a mall of vendors. Very disappointing. Next stop, Hong Island. Packed big time. Snorkeling was bad. The coral was all smashed up and its dust had fogged the water. Heartbreaking! At 3pm, other tour boats suddenly disappeared like magic and the place became absolutely beautiful. The best half hour of the day. It was finally time to go back. A short time later we enjoyed some fruit then the speedboat ran out of gas. Is this a nightmare? At first the guide said that were waiting for people from another boat. It would only be a few minutes. Strange. After 40 minutes of drifting, the Park Ranger boat showed up with gasoline. It was siphoned into the gas tank and off again. Unbelievable! Finally got back to the pier and they put out their tip jar. A day lost and money wasted. Refunds should be made.

  The staff and guides were lovely and there was plenty of time to see the area. The boat was not the largest however I thought it was better to have a smaller team and I really enjoyed it.
