Great experience and beautiful islands

The tour is great and planned well.

The operator of the tour will send you the time for pick-up one day prior to the event and the pick-up is on time.

The tour guide and the staff are very friendly and humorous. They do great introductions to prep you for the 4 stations we went + they will remind you prior to the station again! There were 2 canoeing sessions for my tour and the canoe is rolled by a staff.

Please try to bring waterproof and floatable bag for your belongings (money, phone etc.) Otherwise, they sell floatable bag as well. It is suitable for couples, friends, and family!
ALP could be your preferred choice

Yesterday was a brilliant experience out for the day with ALP.
We were blessed to have a relatively quiet, un crowded boat full of different nationalities.
Our hosts spoke very well and we’re informative regarding the culture and landscape.
Twice we left the boat, and were kayaked into lagoons by local guides. This was truly mind blowing. It is customary to tip your guide.
A delicious Thai food buffet was provided at the village on piles in the middle of the bay.
We visited James Bond Island, which was very “Touristy” but ticked that box.
Next was a swim and a few cocktails on a beautiful velvet sandy beach, which also had water sports activities available.
The whole day was fantastic, but we were very lucky, if the boat was crowded your experience maybe quite different.
ALP maybe your preferred choice.
Beautiful island! Wonderful guide! Bad planning when it comes to paying park fee.

James bond island is stunning and I preferred this tour to the Phi Phi Islands tour i took earlier in the week. My guide was funny and informative. The food on the boat was better than expected too!

What I didn't like was that the park fee isn't included in the price (it is for some and not others) and when I went to pay it that morning, I was waved off. Assumed I didn't need to pay it and spent the money during the trip only to find out 2 mins before getting dropped off that I needed to pay immediately and the driver essentially harassed me until I gave him the 300 baht. He wouldn't leave and come back to pick up the cash later. He brought me to an ATM and waited next to me until I gave him the money. Paying wasn't the issue, it's the way they went around to get the money that was (they had my name, where I was staying and my credit card info). They could have easily come back later once they had dropped everyone off (which I had suggested). This was the tours mistake, not mine and it could have been handled differently.
Great tour, bad pickup

Great boat tour but terrible logistics to get there!

We were picked up at 7am from Old Pucket then drove through heavy traffic to Patong Beach in the opposite direction to the boat, adding an hour or so to the journey. Once we arrived B J Canoeing - who operated the boat tour - was super organised and we had a great day.
The return journey was direct so the Patong clients had the long trip.
Great tour, AWFUL PICKUP/DROP-OFF!!

The actual boat ride and islands was amazing. What was TERRIBLE was the pickup/drop-off process. We were picked up at 7:45 AM, then went to one hotel and waited 30 minutes for someone to come outside. Went to the next hotel, and they took almost 45 mins to come out, while everyone waited i the van!! We finally arrived at the dock at around 9:20 and were rushed off to the boat where everyone was waiting on us. After the trip, the same 3 people who were late in the morning, didn’t even show up to return taxi. But instead of leaving them, everyone sat around in the van for almost 30 mins before they decided to leave.

This company needs a stricter pickup/drop-off policy. If your NOT there in your allotted time(ours was 7:45-8:00) you should be left behind, not force everyone to wait on the slow people! What should have been a 45 minute drive in the morning turned into almost 2 hours there, and almost 2 back. Unacceptable policy, and the company needs to change that ASAP!! We were picked up at 7:45 and didn’t leave the parking lot of pier till almost 6:15!! Not how I want to spend 12 hour in Thailand, 8 hours on the boat, 4 in a cramped van!

If your taking a taxi to the pier, it’s a great tour, but if not, BEWARE!! The pickup/drop-off was TERRIBLE and pretty much was an awful ending to a great day on the water. MAKE YOUR POLICY STRICTER FOR PICKUP TIMES!
