Ibrahim was an amazing tour guide. Constantly giving us information and is always happy to grab a picture for us. The boat handler drove us well and smooth despite the sea and the guy assisted him constantly aiding everyone on and off the boat as well as always offering drinks to us. The photographer was also a great addition. Not to mention the experience of the canoeing as well as the amazing view!!!

overpriced in comparison to the itinerary and distance covered during the entire trip. Guide was funny and helpful. if they reduce the cost, I’m sure they get more customers. Food was tasteless and cold..

It was a great experience. Our tour guide Araham was informative, funny and has a lot of knowledge about the James Bond Phang Nga Bay / Islands. The captain who drove the boat was fantastic- a skilled driver. However, since it was a speedboat and smaller than the one we went to Phi Phi islands- the ride was extremely jumpy at the start which hurt my back. That was the only down side.

Very friendly and hard-working crew, they look after every guest. The boat is great. Thanks to the speedboat, you are three times faster than the big boats and can therefore visit more places. You can't go wrong with this tour. Picking up from the hotel was also no problem. The only thing you can't really do is snorkel.

Good trip, we recommend for couples, for young people it is better to take a speedboat. We liked Hong Island the most. Be sure to take water-proof cases for your phone. The lunch was good.

Our guide, Bobby, was very friendly and the explanations were very easy to understand, so we had a fun day. In the morning, we were told that we would be picked up at the hotel around 7:00, but there was no update, so we had to call to confirm, and we ended up having to wait until 7:50. It's a shame because we could have taken it a little longer in the morning if we had been given the correct information.

The pickup time and place were confirmed again the day before via WhatsApp, and we arrived on time. The schedule, which started with a simple breakfast, was very satisfying with the detailed explanations and humorous guidance of the energetic guide.
