Phang Nga Bay is honestly one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen. The limestone karsts rising out of the emerald water look surreal. Our paddle guide was fantastic – he navigated us through small caves and hidden lagoons that felt completely untouched. Lunch was good Thai food with some options suitable for kids. Drinks were available all day. We would absolutely recommend this tour.

Everything was seamless: hotel pickup, professional tour guide, and a very smooth schedule. James Bond Island many tourists but still nice to see famous place.

James Bond Island was extremely crowded, which took away from the experience. We also felt the schedule was a bit tight at certain stops.

The tour itself was professionally run, and the included lunch and drinks were convenient. Overall, good but not perfect.

This was the highlight of our trip! The scenery in Phang Nga Bay is out of a dream. Loved the canoe ride through the caves. The paddle guide took us into small caves and hidden lagoons. Lunch was good too. Overall 10/10 experience.
