We had an amazing experience visiting James Bond Island and the surrounding islands! The whole trip was very well organized and felt completely safe from beginning to end. Our main guides, Sam and Bao, were fantastic,super friendly, funny, and always making sure everyone was having a great time. The rest of the crew was also excellent. A special thanks to the guy who took us on the kayak, he was so kind and made the ride even more enjoyable. The food on board was delicious and there were plenty of options for everyone. What I really loved is that the tour is very family and kids-friendly, which made it even more special for us. Beautiful scenery, excellent service, and unforgettable memories. Highly recommend!
