Ran, our guide, explained the trip well and checked everyone understood at all points in different languages. The trip was well paced with enough time for each activity. I was impressed with their focus on safety and impressed with their safety jackets (other tours went in sea canoes without them). We felt well looked after throughout and would thoroughly recommend- ask for Ran!

This is an amazing trip. It is very beautiful and spectacular nature. Very well taken care of by our guide (Run). It looked like he cared about every single person in the group. He is knowledgeable and comes with great answers to our questions far behind the standard tour-questions. He even knew where we could fly our drone and showed us the specific places. He also was very gentle the way he took care of us. The description of the tour really tells how it is. Mangroves, canoeing. James Bond Island, sea-Gypsy-town. Excellent. Transportation is good, but a bit tight for our legs. They by the way serves free water during the entire day. We highly recommend this tour.

Full description

Explore some of Thailand's most iconic and stunning islands on a longtail boat cruise from Khao Lak. Cruise over turquoise waters, past lush mangroves, and see the famous James Bond Island up close. Feel the salty breeze in your hair and relax under the warm tropical sun en route. After a pickup from your hotel in Khao Lak, board a traditional longtail boat and experience the mangrove forests and karst formations from a different perspective. Get up close to the limestone rocks on a short canoe trip before heading to Khao Phing Kan. Marvel at rock formations such as Tapu Island and James Bond Island, used as a film location in the movie "The Man With the Golden Gun." Continue to the floating Muslim village of Koh Panyi, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch. Next, go to Suwan Khuha Cave Temple to see the statue of the reclining Golden Buddha. Get some time to feed the resident monkeys before the return trip to Khao Lak.
