★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,666 reviews · from $99Our pick

Review of Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay canoeing tour, with James Bond Island, caves, lunch, swimming, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“This is an excellent tour. The scenery is amazing and the way the staff attends to everyone is very professional. This tour is also inclusive for larger passengers. The only thing I would like to mention is that if you have mobility issues, getting on to James Bond island itself may be challenging. Other than that, we were satisfied and would recommend this tour.”

Paddle Mendenhall Lake to glacier views near Juneau with guides, gear, wildlife chances, hot drinks, and round-trip cruise dock transport.

“This glacier canoe tour was everything Alaska should be: wild, stunning, and absolutely unforgettable. Luke led our group with the perfect balance of humor, knowledge, and calm confidence. Every stroke brought a new perspective: glassy water, towering ice, and that surreal feeling of being somewhere few ever truly experience. Luke made the miles feel easy with his stories, love of his work environment, expertise, and his insider insight made the glacier come alive. Huge shoutout to his mom, Tess - clearly where he gets his warmth and storytelling charm. The gear was top-notch, Luke was well organized and upbeat, and the experience beyond anything we expected. If you’re debating it…”
