Wonderful Sea day

This company is outstanding! They were very professional and kind. The service was great onboarding the speedboat, offering fresh fruit and drinks. The guide was polite and helpful, we visited James Bond Island and did canoeing in caves which was amazing. The lunch provided was tasty and plentiful. This was a chartered trip for a group in a cruise stop. The pickup and return were on time and stress free. Highly recommend 🥰

Like a scene from Jurassic Park - stunningly great!

Despite not great weather it was a fabulous day from start to finish. Take a carrier bag for wet clothes and some dry clothes to change into and one of those plastic rain macs. It was wet in the caves so those beach shoes are great to wear.

Good service and good sense of humour

Really nice tour through Phi Phi islands! Lovely and funny guides and the speedboat makes the difference as only takes one hour to get there from Phuket. We got the package with photos on board and now we have some nice memories to take home. Thanks!

Good trip, worth a visit

Everyone enjoyed the trip, would have been nicer to have had a tour guide to explain a bit more about what we were seeing. Food was very good, staff were lovely couldn’t do more for you.
