Fantastic 5.0
it was so overwhelming, this tour is a must do when in Phuket. the tour guide was very professional and the whole crew was amazing. The beat part, they puck you up and drop you off at your hotel. I really enjoy this tour. The views of the islands was just speechless and the cave was very beautiful, but also very low just be mindful of the cave if your claustrophobic.

Our local operator, BJ CANOEING TOUR, arranged the entire trip wonderfully, and it was well worth the price. From the pickup arrangements to our guide Bobby's (保庇) explanations on the main boat, every detail was clearly communicated! The main boat was very clean and comfortable. The freshly cooked lunch was decent. The itinerary first took us to James Bond Island (which isn't very big) for some photos and to enjoy ice cream or coconut water (at tourist prices). Next, we went to Hong Nang Bay for a kayaking experience. I recommend tipping the boatman; paddling around the entire bay is quite strenuous, and they also help with explanations and photos. After that, we visited Phang Nga Bay, which was just okay, possibly because the tide was very low, making some areas impassable. Finally, we arrived at an area very close to the shore, where life rings were placed around the boat for everyone to swim in the sea. However, it was quite hot, so you might want to consider whether or not to get in the water 🤣 Overall, the entire trip was very comfortable and worry-free!

Brilliant day out. Well organised. Emma tour guide was fab. Bus trip to boat was a trek but nothing can be done about that coming from Karon beach. Looking forward to Maya bay in two days time also booked with Klook

Enjoyable family trip Mar 2026 • Family The trip was super enjoyable and fun. Itinerary was well planned. While the weather was hot, the guide Weiwei (Gigi) provided plenty of refreshment to cool us down. The cave visit both while canoeing and on land was very intriguing. Our canoer - Win- was very nice and friendly. He helped us took many pretty photos and showed us the interesting parts of the tour while canoe-ing around. Lunch provided was buffet style and it's quite decent as compared to most tour provided lunch I have been with. The last bit on swimming at Panya beach was abit of a disappointment though as there's not much there unless you are there for jet ski and para-gliding. Overall trip is still enjoyable!

Klook's transportation arrangements were very punctual, and the tour guide was very friendly and enthusiastic during the trip. The lunch on the arranged boat was also delicious and everyone went back for seconds. I would choose Klook again next time I come to Thailand!

What to know before visiting Takua Thung

Discover Takua Thung’s relaxed outdoor appeal

Takua Thung is a chill coastal district known for outdoor experiences, tours and water activities, with parks and wellness options also drawing bookings. Demand on Klook follows a clear seasonal rhythm, with spikes in late-year months and much quieter summers.

Best times to visit and what to expect on prices

Klook booking data shows the busiest month is November, while August is the quietest. Prices on Klook peak in July and gradually fall through the end of the year, reaching their lowest typical level in January. If you want smaller crowds and generally lower prices, visit around January when demand and prices are relatively low; for peak-season atmosphere and the busiest local energy, aim for November. Note that price and demand diverge a little here: July is the priciest month even though the largest demand spike happens in November.

Tips for travellers from Australia

Most experiences in Takua Thung can be booked at short notice — Klook’s typical booking lead time is around 2 days, with some travellers booking as late as a day before and others booking earlier on average. If your trip falls in November (the peak month), consider securing popular tours and water activities a bit earlier; otherwise, you’ll usually find flexibility to plan last-minute. Use Klook to check availability and lock in the experiences you want as your plans firm up.
