Highlight of our trip!
Truly the highlight of our trip to Phuket! Absolutely amazing way to spend the day. The boat is large, clean and comfortable. Staff was friendly, accommodating, safety conscious and did an awesome job canoeing around the islands. Our guide Hobbitt shared many interesting facts about the area and habitat. He went the extra mile to make sure we got great photos and views. They served us lunch, snack and dinner - the food was excellent and beautifully plated. Really can’t say enough good things about the experience.

Must see experience! Don't hesitate to book!
This was an incredible experience - one that I'll never forget!! The crew really made the trip - they were funny but always had the safety of the visitors' in mind; they really did take good care of us! Special shoutout to our canoe guide, Fa - he had great knowledge of the various locations we were taken to and was very funny (which helped settle our nerves when entering the cave). Aufa and the guy with the blonde hair (sorry we forgot the name) were also great! The locations were beautiful and the boat ride was calm. Food was incredible!
I highly recommend this tour - it's one of the best I've been on!

Very complete full day trip, amazing food on board and Musa was the best guide
The whole experience was a 10/10, we were only 12 people on board instead of the regular 40, so it was basically a private tour on a nice clean and well maintained cruise boat.
The freshly cooked meals throughout the day were very tasty with multiple options for those who don’t like spicy or want vegetarian option, all included in the trip (non alcoholic drinks as well).
Each one of the canoe rides were very relaxing with beautiful sceneries, nice weather and we got very lucky seeing monitor lizards, monkeys, multiple types of jellyfish, horseshoe crab, bats and pacific reef herons very up close.
All this was complimented with our guide MUSA, the most joyful, professional and caring person, making sure we were enjoying safely our trip and taking plenty of time to take pictures without rush (he’s a very good photographer too).
PRO TIPS:
-the guides provide a dry bag to keep our belongings safe and dry whenever we were hoping on the canoe.
-bring cash if you want to purchase any souvenirs at James bond island or for tips for the guide and cooks (they definitely deserve it).
-Hat, swimsuit, sunglasses and sunscreen is a must.
-If you want alcoholic beverages, you must buy them before boarding the boat, they are not included in the trip and they do not sell them on board.
Definitely it’s a wonderful trip to book, very complete and with wonderful staff.

A must do.
What a fabulous day!!! The experience was the best trip so far due the fact that their was only 20 people on board AND it appears all the operators time the entry into the various lagoons so only your group is present. This makes the experience quite wonderful as often you are the only kayak in the space. I thought we would be kayacking, but turns out you get a guide ! Ours, Boycoco was just amazing - he pointed out the birds, different trees, geology and great view points. Couldnt have asked for more. The lagoons you go to are beautiful - that word doesnt really cut it to be honest. The crew headed by Morgan Freeman, aka Nick, was so helpful, attentive and the food was stunning. They cater to food allergies and ensure you are aware if there is anything you can't eat. The last stop was into a dark cave to see the bioluminescent plankton, and a surprise- Bats!!! Highly recommend this experience was an absolute stunner. Nga mini Nick and crew . Khop khun khap!!!
Operator response
Thank you for such an incredible review. We’re delighted to hear that this was one of your best trips so far.
It’s great to know the small group size and well-managed timing created a more exclusive and peaceful experience in the lagoons. We’re especially pleased that Boycoco made your journey even more memorable with his knowledge and guidance.
Your kind words about Nick and the crew, along with the food and overall service, are truly appreciated. We’ll be sure to pass your compliments on to the entire team.
The bioluminescent plankton and cave experience is always a highlight, and we’re glad you enjoyed that special moment as well.
Thank you again for your strong recommendation. We look forward to welcoming you back for another unforgettable experience.

Fantastic Experience
This was a great experience, from start to finish. Paddling through caves into astounding outdoor openings, and into a cave at night to see the glowing plankton. Got to have free time in a lovely cove swimming and kayaking. Lunch and dinner was delicious, all cooked on board.
The guides that paddled us were skilled and knowledgeable.
Everything was extremely well run, and would encourage anyone who likes an outdoor adventure in a magnificent setting to do this tour.

Best tour in Phuket!
This was our favorite tour in Phuket! This was a well oiled machine! They fed us all day long! We were not expecting that! When you arrive you may get nervous and think this is just another speed boat trip. Think again! They have several boats and split all the people among them. The boat was big, and spacious and everyone had plenty of room to spread out and enjoy the ride. We had a snack at the meeting place, on board when you arrive, waters sodas, lunch and dinner and i think about fruit snack! There were 4 spots we visited. Our guides are all from the area so they know all the spots! So incredibly beautiful. Getting on and off the kayaks was so well organized. You have one guide that is yours the whole trip, but the entire crew was looking out for us and took great care with all ages and sizes! We got to swim if we wanted and were able to take a kayak out ourselves at one of the spots, but your guides are the ones who paddle so you can take lots of photos! One huge benefit of an afternoon tour is all the spots were less crowded. The bioluminescent was so special and very cool! I highly recommend this tour especially if you just want a little more room to spread out to enjoy the beautiful scenery and nature around you.
