Max offered himself to help take pictures. he showed here and there and how to take picture. the boat was well-maintained and very comfortable. Max also tolds us the story behind each stop and show us what's special along the way. he took care of all of us very well. please increase his salary as he deserved it haha! highly recommended. this is definitely a highlight of our krabi trip.

Beautiful tour, our guide mickey was very helpful, friendly and kind. We went to hong lagoon, hong island and some other islands for snorkeling, mickey warned us about high tides and always being vigilant we don’t go any deeper or towards strong waves

We booked the trip on Thursday evening, for the next day. Shared tour, Speedboat. We were collected from our hotel in Karon Beach in perfect time, about 8.15am. Taken to the marina on Eastern side of Phuket in a minibus (about 1hr30mins) and introduced to our tour leader (Ibrahim). We were ticked off the attendees list, did a small health and safety check and offered refreshments etc. We walked to the boat and were then assisted on board by the group of tour guides. We left in good time and made our way to Hong Island at a decent lick on the speed boat. Fantastic fun. When we arrived, we were greeted by a lovely chap in a canoe who then took us around the islands, very calm, very pretty - superb tranquility. Zero effort required. Made our way back to the speed boat and then headed to James Bond Island which was stunning. The Island itself was quite busy, but we were free to take pics etc and spent a good half hour, 40mins or so on the Island. It was very cool to see where they filmed Man with the G.Gun. Returned to the S.Boat and headed to a floating Island for lunch, massive buffet selection, all very tasty. About an hr later, back on the S.Boat to a remote Island called Naka, to chill on the beach for a couple of hrs and do some swimming, relaxing and enjoy the breathtaking beauty of it all. Back on the boat, back to Phuket and then back to Hotel in the minibus. The tour guides were fantastic, the day trip was fabulous and would 100% recommend to anyone. Ibrahim, our tour guide was an absolute legend and clearly loves his job. The tour itself was organised by a firm called BJ Canoeing. Booking through the Klook app was super easy. Book the Speedboat rather than the slow boat as you get way more time to enjoy the islands and the chilling on the beach too, whereas the slow boat is SLOW! plus the Speedboat is so much fun! We paid about £37 each for 2x adults. Tickets bought as part of the 10th anniversary of the Klook app. For the whole day out, we thought that was a bargain.. Also, there was a camera guy on the boat, who travelled with us for the whole day, taking loads of pics and GoPro video. He approached us at the end of the day, to offer us all of our pics and the GoPro footage for about 1200ThaiB/£22. We bought them and had them emailed through the following morning. A fantasies souvenir. Chaps name was BoonWalk and a really nice guy too. All in all, a trip to remember and we loved it. It helped that the weather was stunning and the sea was like a lake.
