Great day we'll worth it

Enjoyable day seeing a lot.

We really enjoyed this experience. The boat was fast but comfortable & the guides were friendly helpful & experienced. The opportunity to explore both James Bond Island & coconut island were great & lunch on the floating village was also excellent. We were provided with water & soft drinks & fresh fruit during the day which was lovely. On returning to the marina it became slightly chaotic with everyone trying to find which van to get on to go back to their hotel but eventually it all became clear, although I do think this could have been better communicated to us before we got off the boat. I would recommend this though as a really good way to see a lot all in one day.

James Bond Island was nice and the canoeing was very good but not cocunut beach, could have done without

The activities were good, especially the Canoe but got food poisoning from a coconut smoothie at the bar at coconut beach.

Don’t hesitate, excellent value and an amazing experience

Great experience from start to finish. We were picked up in a lovely taxi and driven to the speed boat. The days itinerary was explained in detail. Good journey on the speed boat. We were kept well hydrated. I’ll not spoil the actual island visits but well worth the money and plenty of time is allocated for each visit (including a toilet trip at the main locations) lunch was lovely with plenty of choice. Everything is explained clearly before departing at each location. This trip is great value for money and I’d highly recommend it.

James Bond island

This is a long day 7am to 18:30pm when we arrived back to hotel (Kata last drop off in taxi coming back) but it was worth it we really enjoyed this tour and all the stop offs it was amazing. Our tour guide Emma was fantastic as was all the other staff on board our speedboat. Plenty food options for lunch something for all. Snacks water and pop throughout. Would recommend this trip to all.
