Secret Agent Odyssey To James Bond & Hong Island From Krabi

It was a great tour. But I like Hong island a lot. Our tour guide, Dean or Din is so attentive and friendly. The whole group had a nice bonding.

A fantastic tour. We met at 8:30 a.m. and participated in Program C. The tour was well organized, and the guide was very friendly and enthusiastic. He took photos of us and told us lots of interesting stories. It's particularly noteworthy that you arrive at James Bond Island before the main tourist crowds. On Hong Island, however, you arrive when most of the tourists have already left. Program C (Hong Island) is absolutely worth it. The view and the beach are fantastic. It's a shame we could only stay there for an hour, while the participants of Programs A and B were driven back to Ao Nang. It's best to negotiate the price on site at the company's office.

Well organised tour with no waiting around. Hong Island was very busy and they didn't explain where to snorkel. Definitely opt IN to kayaking as that was fun. James Bond Island is very commercial and there is not much to actually see.

We have seen many nice places and had a friendly guide. This trip is recommandable. The pickup time was early in the morning, but so it was good, that were not many Tourists.

I would book this tour again and again! The only reason that I took a star off is because we wish we had more time at Koh Panyee! We were picked up from our hotel and got to the pier early, met our group for the day and got on the speedboat. Our driver was fun and took the time to share information along the way. They even stopped to pick up a jellyfish and tell us all about jellyfishing. We loved that James Bond island was a quick stop because there is not much to do there and it gets busy. Kayaking with the caves was gorgeous and we loved it! We didn't realize it would be a line of kayaks and that we would be paddled by someone but it was nice to just be able to take it all in. Our kayak guy was nice and offered to take photos of us. Koh Panyee for lunch was awesome but we would have loved another 30 minutes to explore. The buffet lunch was good, not many healthy options but the flavors were good! The little village is fun to explore but we had to rush. Forewarning, there are small shops along the walkways and the locals (including the school children) are asking you the buy the whole time. But it was pretty amazing to see how they live. We especially enjoyed seeing the school center. Hong Island was just STUNNING! We got to swim in the lagoon before stopping on the island and enjoying two hours at the beach. The snorkeling wasn't too great because the fish weren't within reach but once the crowds started leaving we had a whole hour of absolute beauty and peace. The water is amazing. We loved this trip and would take it again in a heartbeat!

I like to travel solo often, yet tourist attractions don’t always call my name! But this tour is definitely necessary when in Krabi! Easy, great way to explore all the islands and I highly recommend the kyacking in the Hongs! Along with plenty of water, fresh fruit, and food for all dietary needs!

James Bond Island is an amazing place. It's phenomenal beauty. We visited the Bay of along in Vietnam... Well, James Bond Island is even more beautiful. Too bad the price of the excursion doubled in two years

Picked us up 1/2 hour late. We had ID and not the mobile tickets so a huge hassle. The driver spoke no English. The hotel reception vouched for us and still he was reluctant to take us. My bad as I should have had my phone. Other Viator tours never asked for them before. Viator sent out a reminder about the tour, however, received it later after the tour. We got in the van and driver drove like a madman. I believe he was trying to make up time. Many Discovery Tours were converging at one meeting point. It was mayhem! Got in a small run-down speedboat. No life preservers, no safety briefing. Driver spoke no English and guide spoke some English. No personalized service. There were10 of us and no introductions. There was water provided but no soft drinks as advertised. Felt very processed throughout the tour. James Bond Island site was packed with tourists and commercialized. After a couple of photos, it was time to kayak. Another joke of a tourist trap. Floating barges are the home base for these tour companies. This part was optional and had to be reserved ahead of time. If you didn't take the kayak option you got to sit on a bench on the barge to watch an army of kayaks merging to go under one natural rock arch, one at a time, for 45 minutes. Surprise. Each kayak had its own solo paddling guide with 2 passengers (at least they had life preservers). Next was lunch at authentic fishing village built over water. Although an interesting concept, bland food was served buffet-style in a restaurant-type hall dedicated to serving tourist groups. We were given the opportunity to explore the maze of the village only to find that it is actually a mall of vendors. Very disappointing. Next stop, Hong Island. Packed big time. Snorkeling was bad. The coral was all smashed up and its dust had fogged the water. Heartbreaking! At 3pm, other tour boats suddenly disappeared like magic and the place became absolutely beautiful. The best half hour of the day. It was finally time to go back. A short time later we enjoyed some fruit then the speedboat ran out of gas. Is this a nightmare? At first the guide said that were waiting for people from another boat. It would only be a few minutes. Strange. After 40 minutes of drifting, the Park Ranger boat showed up with gasoline. It was siphoned into the gas tank and off again. Unbelievable! Finally got back to the pier and they put out their tip jar. A day lost and money wasted. Refunds should be made.

The staff and guides were lovely and there was plenty of time to see the area. The boat was not the largest however I thought it was better to have a smaller team and I really enjoyed it.

Fantastic, everything they said it would be. Beautiful, only issue we had were the stall owners were very aggressive in their sale approach which was a bit off putting. Everything was great. Staff on the boat were awesome.

I visited Phuket second only for this It was so good Natural beauty I have no words to explain Startling from James Bond island then PhangNga bay good lunch and then Hong island it was memorable

<p>Really good day with lots packed in. Our tour guide was good and made sure we got the best from the day.</p>

<p>Great tour! They pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. They take you to some very beautiful places! Guide was very friendly</p>

<p>Good service, once in a lifetime kayaking experience to see rock cave</p>

<p>We loved this tour, primarily because we arrived earlier than the crowds, our boat driver was friendly and keen to make sure we were looked after and we enjoyed our day.<br/> James Bond island was smaller than expected but views amazing. Lunch was good but please explore to the floating market. We didn't and wish we had. <br/> Hong Island is beautiful and you get there just as crowds are departing which is great. <br/> Our tour was from Krabi which was great as the big tours come in from Phuket.<br/> All round a good day, but not great if the weather is wet. Wish we'd had more fun but the tour company can't control that.</p>

<p>The day started right on time, we were taken by a minibus to somewhere near Phang Nga Bay, it was a rainy day on 28th Nov 2017. The whole trip was on a speedboat, it was about 12-14 of us not crowded at all and enough room for everyone, there were 4-5 guys for 14 of us.. the main guide was moosa and he was so much fun, always eager to take our pictures telling us poses, always smiling and very cheerful, others were friendly and caring too. It was my first day trip in Thailand and omg it was so cool, everywhere I looked I felt like taking a picture. We first halted just for a picture at these beautiful looking rocks, then at james bond island, then a spectacular location where we kayaked, then had food and then snorkelled at hong island where we saw some really pretty fishes, we were the last ones there so we had the whole island to ourselves. A Must do activity when in Ao Nang.</p>

<p>Amazing service and a relaxing tour of the Bay and the James Bond island..</p> <p>Its a must do tour in Krabi.</p> <p>The lunch at Muslim village is pathetic and also there are no alternatives available. Carry light munchies for hunger pangs.</p>

<p>This was a very fun tour! We were often the first to arrive at places so it was nice to be there before the huge crowd. I don't know if it's always like that or if we were lucky though. The crew was very sweet too! When we stopped in a bay, one of the guys took the time to take a photo of each and every person who wanted one at the front of the boat with the background, on your own cell! I ended up with 5-6 pictures, angled a little differently and it allowed me to choose the best! The food at lunch was good buffet style and so was the fruit given on board in the afternoon! For the cave part, we took the option with the kayak, which was more like an inflatable canoe. If you expect to paddle and explore, think again! Each boat has someone there paddling for you though my friend got to paddle on the way back so if you want to tip, don't forget to bring it with you before leaving the speed boat!</p>

<p>Gave it a four stars, because it made me give a rating. We didn't get to do this tour because of the weather. Instead we did the four island tour and had a great time. Wear a sun shirt even if it is cloudy or torrential downpours like we had because if the sun comes out even for a minute, you will get burned. My advice is sign up for this one, but realize it may get cancelled because James Bond island is a long way from Krabi. They were really good about refunding our money and it was easy to book a shorter closer trip the night before.</p>

<p>A fantastic tour from Krabi! We had a large group (11 people) and as a result we had our own private speed boat from Krabi Discovery Tours. Khun Sky was our Captain and gave us an amazing day. They allowed us to move from place to place on our own schedule and truly made the day special. Amazing!</p>

<p>We were just a group of 3 and it was amazing!!! The waters were warm and they got us to each island before the crowds came so it felt like we got to experience each island privately. This was our favorite tour by far and we did a lot of the excursions around thailand. The food was an actual thai buffet on a floating city! If you do shopping in the floating city haggle because they all want to over charge you. There will be a stand that will give it to you for a reasonable price.</p>

<p>This tour was great. I'm glad I booked through Viator because I did not any extra fees. Some passengers in my tour group, were asked to pay entrance fees @ several locations and ruining their "bargain basement" tour.</p>

<p>We enjoyed this tour very much! It had everything we had expected, very nicely paced, covered very beautiful sights and was real fun! We went with the speed boat, it was quite good for the distances to be covered. The canoeing was actually done by the local guys there and we only had to sit, but that too was quite enjoyable through the cave with a reasonably high tide! The lunch at the island was very well organized and good. The guide and the crew were very helpful and nice. We also got ample time for snorkelling and swimming. Overall, a great experience and highly recommend.</p>

<p>Great tour! To see the amazing limestone cliff formations of Phang Nga Bay was one of our top priorities on a recent tour of Thailand, and this tour gave us exactly that. Floating around the lagoons of Hong Island a visit to James Bond Island a kayak tour lunch, then back to a beautiful sandy bay in Hong Island to swim in the sun for a couple of hours, and watch the patrolling komodo dragon.<br/> It's a long day - c. 10 hours - but the guys were great fun, and whilst the approach to the bay takes a while 1 hour? the speed of the boat was exhilarating, and amply aided by the breathtaking scenery. Highly recommended!!!!</p>

<p>This was by far the best tour we did in Thailand. It was a small group of 13 people, the crew was extremely courteous. They served us water throughout the trip and great lunch. Hong ISland is gorgeous as is James Bond Island. This was a day well spent. Also, Phang Nga bay is out of this world. The crew members were very enthusiastic to help and would take pictures for everyone. Also, in order to access the islands, you will have to 600 Baht in total as National park entrance fee which is mandatory.</p>

<p>Look no further! I am so glad I booked this tour. This was the highlight of our trip. This tour operator (Krabi Discovery tour) is very well organized. The tour guides were professional, courteous, and has a great sense of humor. They took us too each scenic site at the best time. 5 stars!!</p>

<p>This tour was a complete safety hazard. It started with the van driver being angry that he picked up the wrong passengers at a hotel and had to double back. The error was 100 the van drivers fault for not matching up tickets. To make up for lost time, he drove at breakneck speeds on winding roads all while yelling at the office on his cell phone. He nearly hit a little girl walking on the road and a bicyclist. That was only part of the adventure. We were then placed on a tiny, very old one engine speed boat, not the big nice ones I have experienced on prior trips to the region. Most frightening of all? No lifejackets at all. On prior trips they were provided and everyone had to wear them when the boat was moving. This one had none. I will never again risk myself and my family on something such as this. I am happy to pay more for safety. Unfortunately, it is a blind booking with Viator meaning you have no way to research operator. We will see if Viator actually posts this review and follows up appropriately with the tour provider.</p>

<p>The experience was fantastic. I would recommend Viator for your future travel guide.</p>

Super nice and beautiful trip. Luckily we were only 6 on the boat Not so good a guide, but ok Could have had more drinks with us.

Très bonne organisation même si tout est un peu rapide Guide très sympathique qui a très bien gérer la surpopulation au point de vue.

My husband passed away on December 25, 2015 it will be 9 years and it was a long time ago that I wanted to get a tattoo but I was afraid after several searches on my city of Agen ( I live there since April 2016 ) I found a tattoo artist the name of her shop is SOFT NEEDLE and the tattoo artist Delphine Longuet at 32 rue MOLINIER in AGEN if you want to get a first tattoo I recommend it

magnificent excursion Everything is organized club champagne Beautiful breathtaking landscapes to recommend

Disfrutamos de un día perfecto. Lancha rápida y paradas con tiempo suficiente para disfrutar da cada detalle. James Bond sorprende porque es más que un simple islote. El paseo en canoas con guía, un lujo. No tienes ni que remar. La comida en el pueblo flotante muy buena. Bonito sitio. La playa de Ko Hong un descanso en un lugar paradisiaco. Gracias al equipo. Todo fue perfecto ... menos el conductor de la furgoneta que nos recogía en Ao Nan Mad. Se equivocó y nos tuvo hora y media esperando. Bueno al final pudimos incorporarnos a la excursión....pero a la vuelta, nos dejó solos en la furgoneta y se fue 15 m. sin decir nada. Alli solos, en Ao Nam sin entender nada... hasta que volvió a aparecer. Una chica se fue andando hasta su hotel por no esperar más. Increíble. Casi perdemos enlace a Railey y tenemos que esperar otra hora por su culpa. Poco profesional y antipático. Pero vamos el resto del equipo de 10 y el interés de Viator comunicándose por email con nosotros intentando arreglarlo todo fue perfecto. Gracias. Recomendamos esta excursión 100x100.
