This was such a wholesome trip for me and my family. The boat was lovely and calm, we did not feel rushed at any point and can not fault the service! The highlight of the trip was jumping in the sea and having a swim between the stunning rocky islands. Saved the best till last; food was incredible. Authentic Thai lunch buffet with snacks on board with the most stunning views!

English: A truly fantastic tour! After being picked up from the hotel, we were taken to a port where a delicious breakfast awaited us before departure. Once on board, we immediately noticed the friendliness and professionalism of the staff. Cold drinks and snacks were available, and the buffet lunch was truly excellent. During the trip, we had the opportunity to take two canoe trips, exploring suggestive caves from the inside. Afterwards, we visited the famous James Bond Island and stopped for a refreshing swim. Along the way, we enjoyed countless breathtaking landscapes. To end the day, we were served fresh fruit as a snack while we returned to the port. On top of all this, the staff was incredibly kind and thoughtful: they even gave us a fantastic handmade ring made by them with leaves, a gesture we will never forget. Thank you so much for your kindness and availability! 🙏🏻 Review in English: A truly fantastic tour!

Big boat tour was relaxing way to get around the islands of Pha Nga Bay. The highlight of the tour was the canoeing around the bay. Even though the place was crowded, our canoe guide took us to a secluded and quiet place which was a nice surprise. James Bond island is a bit of a letdown as there isnt much to do in the island. Overall would do this tour again for the canoeing!

Embarking on the James Bond Island Tour from Krabi with Kayaking was an unforgettable adventure that seamlessly blended breathtaking scenery, cultural insights, and thrilling activities. The journey commenced with a comfortable pickup from our Krabi hotel, followed by a scenic boat ride through the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay. The towering limestone karsts emerging from the sea created a surreal backdrop, setting the tone for the day's explorations. this tour is a must-do for those visiting Krabi. It offers a harmonious blend of natural wonders, cultural exploration, and adventure, all wrapped into one memorable day. Whether you're a James Bond enthusiast or simply seeking to uncover the gems of Phang Nga Bay, this experience promises to be a highlight of your trip.
