Beautiful scenery. The kayak rides through caves were amazing. Thankfully the weather was very good. An amazing sail.

strongly recommended. The tour was well-organised, starting from james bond island, then move back to kayaking at the smaller islands. the food onboard was great as well, every moment there will be something to eat or drink. the cook was definitely good. we were certainly well taken care of. the kayak guide was friendly. although his English wasn't very good he still made effort to strike conversation with us and introduced the features of the island. all in all a very fun trip despite the rain. i really did enjoyed myself.

Wow this has got to be the best day trip in Phuket, everything went very well from hotel pick up, to tour guides interactions. This is a very well run smooth operation. The canoe trips were excellent and lunch was some of the best Thai food we have had, this is a highly recommended tour
