Thrilling and exhilarating experience. Must try at least once in your life. If you are claustrophobic better not go.

An absolutely awesome day. Woody, our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. I have been to Halong Bay in Vietnam before this but this trip was better.

We enjoyed this tour. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also the boat was not to crowded. Went to a small beach in which we were the only group there which topped of the day (we were there about 1hr which was nice). The food was good as well. We would recommend

An amazing day - even better than we expected. Stunning scenery and very friendly and knowledgeable staff, who were really keen to make sure you enjoyed the day. I've watched some of the videos of this and they don't do it justice - you really have to be there to appreciate it in full. Aside from the natural beauty of the places visited, the boat was decent (even had clean toilets, a novelty for this kind of trip), food was really good and a plentiful supply of soft drinks (and even a beer, if you wanted it). There were enough staff too, so you never had to 'wait your turn'. I really can't recommend this enough, thank you to all who made it so good.

The place is really nice, taking the kayaks into the caves is a really great experience and you can see the bay and the lagoon inside the mountains in a very spectacular way. Food on board is quite good.
Unfortunately the guide kept bothering everybody with his stupid sexual double meaning humor, teasing people beyond acceptable, the paddler on the kayak did not want to enter the first cave and kept showing us that he cut his hands to enter, therefore asking for more tip, and we found this pathetic.
Regarding the tour we did not stop even for a minute at James Bond rock, other tours go on the beach and we just passed by with the boat.
They served the food and at the end the ice creams, we took one, and later we were said that the ice cream should be paid extra. I do not mind the 80 Baht, but I mind the way it has been done.
There are many companies that offer kayak tour, and you can book cheaper there. GO with them, for sure.

This trip was mind blowing! It was beautiful and absolutely worth the money. Hitting the waves were tough on my back but there was no way around it. We loved this tour.

Pretty amazing. Again the views are incredible and you'll be told a fair few times this is the James Bond island. On the canoeing you get your own person to canoe you around which is really nice and takes away the stress of worrying about where to go and pains in your shoulders! The caves are amazing and we even got to see a walking fish at one point. Our canoe person was excellent but irritatingly I can't remember his name (he was number 12). You get the opportunity to go for a swim and also buy a DVD. The DVD is expensive at 1500 Baht (£30) and if you think you might want this at the end to tell the guy up front to ensure you make regular enough appearances. The photos on the disc do not include any shots of the people of the day which I would have liked to have known before I bought the DVD, but there you go. Overall definitely recommend this

Just a great experience you won't forget. The guides are both fun and knowledgable, food was great, and kayaking through the caves and into the Hongs is a unique experience.

The boat trip was amazing, perfect amount of ppl on board and saw amazing scenery. However Woody was the reason why the tour was what it was, he's the best tour guide we have ever had. Friendly and full of information, and not just the good, real information about the good and bad, the people, the land and life in Thailand. He made us all feel welcome, relaxed and without him it would have just been another tour. Also it was great that the tour was always about an hour to two ahead of the other tour groups, there were never any crowds and made for an amazing trip. If you get to read this Woody, thank-you so much!! amazing experience

We really enjoyed our day trip. The staff all worked together very well. Our personal canoe guide was great at pointing out sights and animals on the canoe trip. The lunch was the best that we had in our two weeks in Thailand. I wish we would have started a bit earlier and made one more stop to canoe. Everyone was so friendly.

Amazing! Tour was very well organised - from being picked up to dropped off.
The crew were really friendly, Jay was really informative. The trip was incredibly interesting, and being canoed round was fantastic. They all made you feel like they really wanted you to enjoy yourselves - although that seems to be a general feature of the Thai people that we met!
We felt we had a better deal than those on the speed boat because we got to see the islands better.
The lunch on board was really tasty and fresh - there was loads of food and plenty to drink.
The swimming on the picture perfect beach was also just brilliant, and it was nice to have some time to ourselves without feeling rushed like some of the other tours.
I would definitely recommend this tour to others, and it was quite nice having arranged this before we went - prices were pretty comparable to booking it whilst there.
