Real experiences from real travelers
The sea canoeing was absolutely magical. Our guide paddled us into hidden lagoons we never would have found on our own. The lunch on the big boat was delicious too.
We booked the luxury speedboat option. It was fast and comfortable, meaning we beat the crowds to James Bond Island. The staff were attentive and the scenery is just unreal.
Phang Nga Bay is beautiful. The tour was well organized. James Bond island gets very crowded, but the canoe part was peaceful. Good value for money.
We did the afternoon sunset tour to avoid the heat. The bioluminescent plankton at night was a unique experience. Highly recommend John Gray's tour.
Took the kids (8 and 10) and they loved the canoeing. The guides were great with children. Koh Panyee floating village was a fascinating cultural stop.
Pickup was on time. The boat was clean. Food was surprisingly good for a tour buffet. A bit of a long day but worth it for the views.
I was worried about food but they had excellent vegetarian options on the buffet. The limestone cliffs are breathtaking. A must-do in Phuket.
Felt very safe the whole time. The crew knew exactly what they were doing. The transfer from hotel was smooth. 10/10 experience.
