Our guide Bobby was fantastic. The team was extremely organized, and ran the experience very smoothly. They took constant care to keep the boat tidy, clean, and comfortable. The music selection was enjoyable, the food was great, and the excursion itself was fantastic. Don't visit Phuket without taking this tour! It was the highlight of my time in Phuket.

This tour made my Phuket trip the best ever!! I highly recommend it! It's the best~!! The hotel pick-up/drop-off service was so convenient and made the trip safe and wonderful. Thank you! The driver and guide were all friendly, spoke English well, and were very considerate. If you go to Phuket and want to see James Bond Island, be sure to book this tour. I had such a happy time traveling by boat on the beautifully shining emerald sea. The cave exploration was a bit dark and scary, but the kayak driver drove so well that it was fun. And the cave was amazing. The meal on the boat was delicious, and all the staff were friendly. Thank you so much, BJ Canoeing, for creating happy memories with my friend!

This was a spectacular tour! Sam, our leader was excellent. We had just the right amount of time at each stop. The scenery was spectacular! We had two kayak rides into cave like structures and we had time for a lovely swim at the end. The boat ride was enjoyable and so scenic.They gave us snacks throughout the day, cookies, fruit, cold drinks, tea and coffee and an excellent buffet lunch! The price was very reasonable! It was a large boat so no one got sea sick. There were a couple of times when you had to climb from the large boat to a long tail boat. It wasn’t difficult, but you do need reasonable mobility to get into kayaks and move between boats. The staff was there to assist, but I wouldn’t recommend the tour for the elderly or tiny children. I am a senior and it was wonderful for me!
