パンガ湾とジェームズ・ボンド島：カヌーと生物発光

The best ever excursion we have been on. From start to end it was very well organised and it was made even more personal because each family/couple were paired with thier own canoest who stayed with us throughout the tour when on the canoes. The food and drinks were excellent and were plentyful.

Great service from pick up to return, amazing energy and nothing is too much trouble. Views were awesome but the crew are what makes this experience. Collected from our hotel, in an Aircon spacious vehicle, which was some way from the meeting point. On arrival we were offered refreshments and biscuits. Then we had a quick briefing from our main guide awesome Donnie (sorry I am not sure of spelling). We were then taken with the rest of the travellers on this excursion to the transport trucks and delivered to our boat. We were given life jackets and off we set to our first stop, on route we selected a paper from a pot which had the name of our personal canoer. We got the fabulous Naeem and my partner got the lovely Jaay. These were our guys for the rest of the trip, two people to each canoe plus the guide. We were taken through cave so tight we had to lay down, this opened to something out of a Jurassic park movie, no spoilers here. We had a few stops, were able to jump in the water, swim or canoe ourselves at one stop, jelly fish and birds of prey were sighted. Be advised this is not a snorkel coral trip and they don't advertise themselves as such. We went to James Bond island for a short while, I didn't feel we needed longer here. Then back to the caves for a canoes in the dark and try to spot the bioluminescent plankton, now the caves had the wrong tide so we went around them, Jaay and Naeem did there utmost to give us the bioluminescent experience and they did not disappoint, thank you guys! In-between destinations we were offered drinks as we liked, had the tastiest dinner, the ladies out did themselves and with two vegetarians in our group they went out of their way to accommodate us. Return journey watching the stars from the bow or the roof completed this excursion. I would recommend this afternoon/evening trip to all.

The whole day was very well managed, the staff are very friendly and will help with any concerns. The catering team were really good as they were able to cater to our preference and the flavours were amazing. Really recommend as the sites you visit are undisturbed and you can really enjoy nature.
