This was a highlight of our time in Phuket. Perfectly organised day from our taxi pickup exactly on time from our Airbnb to the gathering of all participants with coffee and bics before boarding 2 boats. Each boat carried about 12 inflatable canoes. The journey to and around the islands was beautiful with a sun screen over the boat. Two fantastic meals on board. Everything was clearly explained by one guide and we were each given a personal guide for every 2 people or each canoe. He was the paddler, photographer and mischief maker. We had Alex who was fantastic to spend the day with. We were paddles through low caves into lagoons, onto the island adjacent to James Bond island for photo ops and we could paddle and swim ourselves at another spot. Our fellow troopers were such fun and we became an international family of Brit, Aussie, Dutch, Uzbek, Turk, Italian, Indian, Dubai for the day. Very lovely day from start to finish, well done all the guides - who loved playing on their canoe.

Didi our guide was wonderful! the trip was organised in a good pace, and every activity exceeded beyond our expectations at every turn!! The elephants were a once in a lifetime experience (we would honestly do it again), nd they looked so happy and kept so well! the trip wasn't commercialised at any aspect, and the people leading and interacting with were very genuine. it must be thailand as a whole!? The pick up service was a bonus along with drinks, and the lunch isn't a quickly whipped up standard meal! it was a few dishes that everyone enjoyed. We loved our day, and would highly reccomended it - 7 hrs seems long, but you really don't want to be rushed, and by the end of the day, you don't want it to end!! Thank you Didi and team for being such great souls for our little family of 3, you really have made an impression on our hearts for our first rime to Thailand. thank you!!

Literally insane , being on those islands was breath taking. The water was unimaginably clear , snorkeling with all the fish will always be a key memory. The guides were really fun and accommodating. Made some cool friends as well!

This trip was AMAZING! We loved every second of it! Honestly this is a must if you visit Phuket, trust me you’ll love this tour. Sandy and the crew of boat 99 were absolutely amazing. This tour was perfect in every way.

Very good despite the large number of boats in the bays. Very pleasant walks, good and plentiful meals. We saw white plankton.
