Beautiful half day trip

Great excursion, well organized and perfectly sufficient for half a day. Only recommended

Great sightseeing tour with impressive James Bond Island panorama.

Since 3 hours Drive in addition, it is more of a full-day trip (07:00 a.m. to about 15:00 p.m.) if you want to use all three spots including return transfer to the hotel. Tour guides were super friendly and helpful. Worth seeing spots and interesting background information.

I was alone, but I enjoyed it, the stay on Jasebond Island...

I was on my own, but I enjoyed it, the time I spent on Jasebond was just right, I could see life in the village of Panyi, the long-tail boat ride was interesting, they showed me a lot along the way, it was perfect for a half-day tour

Beautiful scenery

We really enjoyed the long tail boat trip to see The James Bond Island! The island was not crowded and there was plenty of opportunity to take pictures. Out guide Boom was friendly, entertaining and knowledgeable! The floating Muslim village on stilts was interesting and great at looking at how they live in the middle of the sea.
