Everything was perfect! - Very friendly and helpful staff. Very good food. Very pleasant and interesting visits. James bond island a little too long maybe. The small waterproof bag loaned for the stay is super convenient. Everything is thought out for you to have a good time. We wanted to tip our guide Arsan/Assan (not sure of the spelling) but in the night we didn’t recognize him. Perhaps the guides could bear a distinctive sign?

Wonderful day :) - Extremely well planned. Lots to see and experience. You do spend a long time on the boat, however, it is worth it. The food is exceptional so you certainly won’t go hungry, and lots to drink too. The staff are really accommodating and friendly; they work tremendously hard. It is a long day but in my opinion it was one of my highlights of the holiday. I would definitely recommend you take a few sets of clothing, as you do get wet 3-4 times. A big towel is handy. I’d suggest bringing a pair of swimming shoes, or sliders too. A torch is quite handy in the bat cave, although your guide will show you anyhow. I got to see lots of wildlife, my particular favourite was seeing all the Eagles as well as the bats; I also got to see a walking fish, a few crabs and large sea birds. Didn’t see the monkeys though. I went on a day where it was quite stormy and lots and lots of rain, however, at no point was I cold and I had a thoroughly good time. If you don’t like bats, you might need to shut your eyes, as there are more when you realise. If you have real difficulty with your back, you may struggle on the kayak as you are on them for long periods. There are a couple of moments where you have to lie quite flat too; this is because of the tide and because the rocks are low. It is advertised as 15 in a group, however there were just over 30 on the boat. I didn’t have a problem with this at all, as the boat is really large and there is lots of space for everyone.

A Magical and Unforgettable Experience ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ - We had an amazing time on the tour! From start to finish, everything was incredibly well organized, safe, and above all—magical. Paddling through the caves was already stunning, but the food was amazing 🤩 and the bioluminescence was so unique. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about sharing their knowledge. They made sure everyone was comfortable and had a great time, and was safe. This was hands-down one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand. If you only do one day trip on your vacation, this is the one to do right here! We’re so glad we went and would do it again in a heartbeat!

An amazing excursion! - We had one of the best excursions we’ve ever experienced! From booking to the trip, the staff were very efficient in confirming our booking and pickup times. They arrived right on time and organized us onto our day trip very quickly. The food that was provided especially the dinner buffet was amazing! The ladies on our boat trip made such delicious Tom Yum Gong, I’m still thinking about it. The main guide Alan was a funny and knowledgeable guide who would go through what we will experience thoroughly before we went on our kayaks to explore. Song was our kayak guide and he was also very knowledgeable about the sea caves and lagoons we visited. He also went out of his way to help us take photos for us. The bioluminescent plankton was a very cool sighting. Overall, we absolutely recommend using Tour East for your trips. We had a great time.

Excellent tour with outstanding tour operator - Excellent tour of caves and bioluminescent caves. Tour was very organized and the people on the boats were very kind. They fed us lunch, a fruit snack, and dinner. They walk you through in advanced so you know what to expect. Make sure you bring a change of clothes since you get wet from kayaking. It’s a very low impact tour since they have people doing the kayaking in the back. This tour may not be good for people who are claustrophobic since you have to lay down to get through the caves during mid tide.

A Great Day of Not-to-be-Missed Adventure in Phang Nga Bay. - This tour exceeded all expectations. The boat, crew, destinations, plankton, activities, food, even the pick up and drop off were top notch. I feel like I won the lottery with my fantastic canoe pilot but I suspect all the paddlers were as professional, helpful, and attentive as he. Truly a pleasure and an adventure which I highly recommend.

Breathtaking and amazing - had the BEST time on this journey! the main guide on the boat would always keep us updated on our journey, sharing history of the places we were visiting as welll! - even the cautions on how not to get scammed by the people selling souvenirs on the island haha! the food was delicious for both light lunch and dinner, they provided free flow coke and mineral water, and snacks between the different stops too! my guide who would paddle with me was Musa - i was solo so i didn’t know anyone else so it was just the both of us ( usually is 2-3pax on a kayak to 1 guide ). Musa was super helpful, taking pictures for me! He shared a lot of knowledge on where we went, through the sea caves and the islands we visited Really a shoutout to the entire crew! i dropped my phone when we first got to Phang Nga Bay ( around 1.40pm ) and the crew did everything to find it for me literally a rescue mission! Tide was high-ish so it was tough, but they assured me when we would be back for dinner tide would be low and they would try again. 5 hours later around 6.40pm after they helped us with dinner - i kid you not 3 boats with about 10 of the guides went out to look for the phone and THEY FOUND IT - all is intact and phone is working fine!!! They honestly didn’t have to, but this really speaks of the service and how the crew really went above and beyond - much much thankful and grateful! And a huge thank you again to Musa who lent me his phone so i could still get pictures throughout the journey! Will definitely come back again!
