An excellent tour to enjoy a combo of monkey sightings, cave temple visit, longboat and canoe experience, local food, and loads of sun! Note: this trip does not include swimming or snorkeling stops. Group size is limited to 9 people, and if you're lucky, yours might end up being as small as 2-3 ppl. The day starts with a 1.5hr drive in a comfy, air-conditioned mini van from your accommodation. All stops have toilet facilities and water/snack purchase options. Our tour guide, August, and our driver, John were exceptional and schedule was respected throughout. Wear comfortable clothing, consider a bathing suit for some longboat tanning, and be prepared for getting slightly wet during the canoe ride (2ppl max, operated by staff). Bring sunscreen and purchase a phone waterproof case from the James Bond island souvenir stands to make the most of picture taking safely. Lunch provided at the Muslim floating village was rich and truly local. Overall a great experience; great value for money!

This was a very enjoyable tour. The floating village and canoe ride were unique experiences. There were very few people when we arrived at the James Bond island, we were lucky I guess. The small group size (limited to 9 people) makes it feel more personal. Our guide, Pai, was very friendly and provided lots of information about the places we visited and made us feel very safe. Also the driver, Cha, was very friendly and professional. I totally recommend this tour!

Maria was an amazing guide! She was funny, engaging, informative, and friendly. The tour was incredible! The boat ride was absolutely breathtaking, our canoe captain was hilarious, the floating village was very interesting with a delicious and filling lunch, and the monkey temple was okay. We got to do so much, but never felt rushed! One of my favorite day tours ever. If you book this, I hope you get Maria as your guide!

Brilliant trip from start to finish. Easy to book and communication was excellent letting me know what time pick up was. Mr Run who was our guide was absolutely impeccable and a fun knowledgeable guy. Lunch was amazing, probably the best lunch we've had in Thailand so far.

Kim was amazing, I hope to see her again on my next visit to Phuket
