This was worth every penny ! The entire trip was organized more than well. Booked online, received email straight with pick up details. Bus was there for pick up early and the staff was super professional and what I like most you can tell they like their job. They looked after my family, everything was safe and we had breathtaking experience.

Punctual pick up from hotel.
Very organised day, lots of information and minimal waiting around.
Our guide (Pairry) was brilliant, very knowledgeable and entertaining!
The sights were amazing - the first island was crowded and was basically mass tourism, but was still beautiful. James Bond island was similarly busy, but you can't fail to be impressed by it. The floating island where we had lunch was very interesting and unique, but kayaking into the caves and rock formations was the highlight, they are magnificent structures, really calm and still inside these limestone cliffs all around you - never done anything like that before, absolutely amazing.
RE seasickness. I get motion sick very easily and worried that it would ruin my day. Previous boat trips have made me physically ill and if you've been seasick before, you know it is probably the most awful feeling you can have. The day we had on the speedboat trip was calm and not stormy, but even bearing that in mind, I did not have even the slightest feeling of seasickness. I took a tablet before setting off, and sat at the back of the boat nearest to the water. I was able to get up and move around, stand up and face different directions to see the sights without feeling nauseated. Anyone who suffers from seasickness and is debating whether to do this tour, please don't let it stop you, I am so glad I took the chance and did it, and I felt fine the whole day.

We booked our tour through Tripadvisor after looking for a while for the best Phang Nga bay day tour to do with our 2 year-old and settled for this one as it seemed the most comprehensive and doable with a toddler and it did not disappoint!
We were picked up at around 8h10 at our hotel lobby after receiving an email saying we’d be picked up between 8h15 and 8h30 but to be there about 10 minutes before. So perfect! No waiting! We were transported in an air conditioned small van with 2 other couples. We arrived at the Marina and were offered some complimentary coffee, water and snacks (muffins etc). We were encouraged to buy some shoes for walking under the water and iphone covers but we didnt buy any and were fine. We waited about 45 minutes and left for the boat.
On the speed boat we were about 20 people but it could have had more passengers, it felt spacious and comfortable. We headed to Khai island where we could swim or snorkle. With our toddler we went swimming and he loved the beach and seeing the little fishes. Then we headed out to the Muslim village Koh Panyee and had some delicious thai buffet lunch and went exploring the village. Afterwards we headed to James Bond island at the best time of the day because there werent too many people and it’s definitely worth visiting. And finally we went to Hong island where we were khayaked around some awesome caves and in the bluest water by a nice local man for about 40 minutes. The highlight of the day. At the end we had some complimentary drinks and fruit and got to jump in the refreshing water for about half an hour.
Overall, awesome relaxing and fun day. Perfect to do with a toddler. Our kid absolutely loved all the activites. And most importantly, the staff was amazing and super friendly and caring for our baby. They made us feel welcomed and safe. They were super helpful during the day, making sure we had everything we needed. We had someone taking pictures of the whole group the whole day and he was really nice he would even offer to take pictures with our phones so no pressure to buy the dvd or pictures they offer at the end (but we bought it anyways because he got some awesome shots with his camera specially during the khazaking time and it was a great experience with our kid). Our guide was multilingual (english, german and french), really nice, knowledgeable and funny!.
If you are looking for a relaxing but fun Phang Nga bay day tour to do with a toddler, this is the one!

The only reason I didn't gave 5 stars to this trip is because they try to sell you stuff you don't need. It started with extra 400B pp that you MUST pay for the national park. Special shoes that they said you need to walk in the water (you don't really need that) and extra 20B for using the bathroom. Ice cream for 200B (and it's not made of gold) and other tourists traps that you want to avoid...
Starting with the transport from the hotel and back - smooth ride, not too long.
The tour guide Mr Boy, and the rest of the team are fun and friendly, the boat was speedy and we had a great ride at the front. The activity with the snorkeling is not amazing as you don't see much of underwater life but it was fun swimming around, the kayaking was awesome! Lunch was very good, Fresh Thai food, and they served cold drink and water all the time - free :) Thanks for a nice special day.

If you want a chill and relax day, this is the right activity.
Speed boat experience was great, the islands were gorgeous. But be ready to share it with other hundreds of tourists. The guides were really fun and caring for our well-being: they provide water and soft drinks the whole day.
Plus, we were lucky because the rain was following us but we never got wet !
Bonus for the kayak experience because the guy was telling me everything about what we see.

Great tour activities, friendly staff and good food. If you’re on a budget, this is a great way to check out a bunch of cool sights all in one day. My favourite part was sea kayaking around Hong island with a guide! The only part I did not enjoy was the floating village which felt like a tourist trap with children guilting you to buy stuff.
Be warned that this is not a luxury experience though. There are lots of people at each attraction and you’re visiting at peak times. The tour itself has quite a few people on one boat and it is cozy and there is waiting around involved. I think this comes with the price point and is a great value. However I also paid double to try a more “high-end” tour and if you have the disposable income, paying more to have the space/more comfortable boat/see attractions at an earlier time with less crowds/no waiting around is worth it. I still loved this tour and if I was on a budget would book again. I would not book if you are not an easy-going person.
