This was an excellent tour and great value for money. We were picked up from our hotel, and taken to the pier straight onto our cruise boat. We had a one hour travel time which went quickly with the funny guides giving us information about the kayaks, the trip highlights as well as some entertainment on the way. The actual kayaking through the caves and the lagoons was amazing. We were treated to the natural envirionment as we relaxed in the canoe with our guide. We then went back to the boat for an amazing Thai buffet lunch, while we had unlimited access to drinking water, soft drinks and snacks. After lunch we visited Phang Nga Bay, James Bond Island and swam on a private beach where we got to try out our sea kayaking skills under the watchful eyes of our guides. (They are very safety conscious) All up the tour was just right and perfect for us! It was an excellent and affordable experience. Would definitely recommend to it anyone.
