“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.”

10.Kayaking and Cave Exploration Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 40 reviews · from $72

Explore Phang Nga Bay by guided kayak, sea cave, secret lagoon and boat, with Thai lunch, hotel transfers and optional James Bond Island.

“This is an extremely touristy destination, with hundreds of people taking the same tour, either on the same boat or on other boats that are doing the same tour, which makes the experience massive and disconnected from nature. The visit to a cave where bats live was particularly disturbing in the sense that the wildlife there is not being well preserved and protected as it should be. The visit to the famous James Bond Island follows the same logic of mass tourism. The worst part was that when you are in the kayak there is always a guide paddling for you, so there is no freedom or autonomy whatsoever. It…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 38 reviews · 6 hours · from $49

Kayak Koh Lanta’s mangroves, pirate caves, and limestone islands with lunch, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide.

“We booked as family a full day mangroves and sea cave kayaking tour - and it was really worth the money. Transfer from hotel, Kajak through a part of the mangroves (could be a little bit more), transfer with longtail to some nice islands and again a kayak tour around an island with some nice Stopps in caves or at small beaches. Service with water, warm lunch and some melons was nice, had some fun with monkeys - and Sing, our guide, did explain a lot and did everything to make his group happy. Well appreciated! A advise everybody to book this tour (and try to get Sing as guide).”
