Great staff, great food, excellent tour! I've never experienced anything like this! - From the moment I got on the boat it felt like paradise! We were taken to a beautiful cove where our expert guide assisted us onto a raft like kayak. From there he paddled us inside multiple caves and all around the massive limestone cliffs. We saw monkeys, bats, lizards, and many different bird species. We were served the most amazing lunch and then taken to James Bond Island for iconic photos all expertly taken on our cell phone by our guide. We left with full bellies and amazing images of an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!!

Do not miss this experience - An extraordinary experience but a long day.our kayak guide was fantastic. The caves, the bats, the scenery. What an experience. The floral offerings lit with candles in the caves at night were amazing. Excellent food. A really caring crew. A must do but a bit physically demanding

Highlight of trip to Thailand - This full day excursion was the highlight of my Thailand trip. First, the staff members on the boat were professional, courteous, and playful. They were engaged with the group from dancing to our playlists to creating whimsical flowers & hearts from pieces of nature. Most of all, they were experienced guides, steering us through the tight spaces of the caves. To think much about this excursion would definitely instill fear, but they made travelers feel safe because they confidently maneuvered through the waters, taking time to point out rock formations & animals, and even getting out of the canoe to take pictures. The other part that made this trip enjoyable was the hospitality on board the boat. In a small galley kitchen two cooked prepared the most amazing meal - a huge spread! Highly recommend this tour!

So Friendly, Incredible tour - I saw the glowing reviews and it really was a once in a lifetime trip! I can’t believe how incredible the food was, they also know the waters so well and navigate it all. They paddle the long rubber kayaks for you but some asked to paddle too if you prefer!
They made each experience pretty special and we LOVED Toy, our guide, who really went the extra mile to make it special for our first trip to Phuket.
I felt like we were all friends by the end!

Do not miss this boat trip adventure! - This was SUCH a fun tour and experience! The crew is fantastic and they take great care of you, we had a blast playing in the water, exploring the island and caves, so many fun things to do. And we LOVED Armeen!! The whole crew is wonderful, Armeen was especially a trooper and we had a blast with him :) Classic Armeen! The lunch they made was incredibly delicious and way nicer than we expected on board a boat. This was a highlight of the entire Thailand trip for all of us, I highly recommend this tour.

A wonderful day from start to finish - A must do tour! - The full day tour was very enjoyable, well catered with delicious food and flowed seamlessly the entire day. The crew made us laugh all day and were very knowledgeable. The big boat was very comfortable and there were 2 toilets on board. We loved canoeing with Louis through the caves which opened up into beautiful lagoons. Jumping off the boat for a swim was exciting, then we made flower-decorated baskets (krathongs) with the crew before lighting the candles, making a wish and floating them in the dark caves where plankton sparkled in the water. We will definitely recommend to family and friends when we arrive back in Australia.

Kayaking in Phuket - Great job! I initially picked this company by the reviews. They exceeded my expectations. Communication was excellent from the time the trip was booked until we were dropped off at the hotel. It was organized from start to finish. I was a little disappointed that we couldn't kayak ourselves, but now there is no way we could have navigated through the caves with only inches to spare! It was simply amazing! We had "Crazy Charlie" as our guide and he kept things interesting and was full of information. The food was good on board and if you left hungry that would be your fault. The scenery and experience was breathtaking and highly recommend this excursion with this company to anyone without hesitation

Best trip we have done in Phuket - We absolutely loved this and it exceeded all our expectations.
We booked onto a canoe thing not really knowing what we were doing and wow, we were so glad we did.
The staff were so friendly and kind - we were picked up from our hotel before 11 am and taken to the main reception area then bused to the end of the pier to meet the boat. We were given a safety talk and got under way.
Lunch was served so we didn't notice the 1hr transit to our first location - the food was delicious. Again, I'd brought my own snacks as thought it would be underwhelming but everything was delicious from the pad Thai, salads, fresh pineapple, Asian salad, satays etc
Our first of the three times in the canoe took us into amazing caves into hidden lagoons - we had Den as our guide, he was very knowledgeable about the area and we felt 100% safe at all times. it was time for tea, coffee and cake - all delicious.
We then went to see James Bond Island and got information from Sun about this island. We then went into other caves and had the opportunity to try the canoes ourselves or time to swim.
We had the opportunity to make Kratongs to release later in a cave once the sun had set. We then had a delicious dinner as the sun went down and we headed out for our final time in the canoes in darkness and saw the luminescent plankton. A fantastic thing to see.
We were so well looked after - so many different nationalities on board, all catered for with someone speaking various languages.
We were back at our hotel by 9 pm. Please try this trip - you will not be disappointed. For adults and children alike.
