Really big nice boat made...

Really big nice boat made for smooth riding. Lunch was not the best food even for a tour but they did give you plenty. Loved the kayaking part, sweetest tour guide pointed out all the little things we would’ve missed.

Pearl factory stop followed by boat trip and caves. Could improve food and drink on return journey. A good day out.

First stop to a Pearl factory - interesting. Brilliant boat trip, although it was extremely busy in the water with other boats. I counted 27 without really looking. Food on board had a good selection for lunch. Had a trip on the boats to see the caves and also walked up into the amazing caves to see stalactites etc. Promised a party on way back with a free drink. Drink was half a glass of orange with some vodka in and party was a woman playing an instrument: in fairness a few people got up and danced. A good day out but some improvements could be made

Operator response

James Bond Island is not...

James Bond Island is not worth visiting. It's a long journey; very very busy. Very limited space. Nothing to do there. Greatly overrated.

Operator response

We always strive to ensure our guests don’t just have a simple visit, but a full day filled with wonderful memories — from canoeing through stunning landscapes to enjoying peaceful moments on the water. This is one of the most unique spots in the world, and naturally, it can be busy at times, but we always control our boat capacity to maintain comfort and enjoyment for everyone. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts, and we truly hope to welcome you back so we can create an even better experience for you next time.
