    Great Day Out

    The trip was great. The only negatives were that we were told to expect collection from our hotel but when I called to find out where it was, we were told to walk to the registration point (which wasn't a problem but would've been good to know this in advance rather than sitting in the hotel reception). Our guide, New, was fantastic and ran the trip really well. James Bond Island itself is beautiful but there is only one thing to see so having the kayaking on top of this makes the trip worthwhile. Lunch was decent and the floating village was amazing. Overall a good trip and would recomend

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share your detailed feedback with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip overall and that you found the experience worthwhile. We sincerely apologize for the confusion regarding the hotel collection. We understand how inconvenient this must have been, and your comment is very helpful to us. We will work on ensuring that pick-up instructions are communicated more clearly in advance. We are especially pleased to hear your kind words about your guide. We will be sure to pass along your compliments, as feedback like this is very motivating for our team. We greatly appreciate your feedback and hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again in the future. Best Regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

    Bait and switch or ?

    We were picked up at our hotel by a driver, and continued the rounds to pick up others. When we arrived at the tourist providers office, we were directed to a specific person at a specific table. After waiting ten minutes in line, it was our turn. He said it was the wrong line and made us go to another person at a different table. After checking in, we waited for our transport. Once on the boat, our guide stated that we needed to go to James Bond Island first, to avoid the crowds (so the itinerary was altered immediately). We went with it and the island was very interesting. We then went to the canoeing spot, where we excitedly got a tour of the caves, which were stunning. Except that the canoe driver had us ‘lay down’ so as not to hit our heads, and apparently he expected me to put my head right in his lap? No, thank you. I kept mine to the side. Then, the driver kept touching me, squeezing my arms, calling me ‘Mama,’ and telling me I was a VIP and repeatedly saying I should tip him 100-200 Baht. I do not like being touched without consent, nor do I think it appropriate to put my head on a stranger’s lap. It got weirder from there. We went to the ‘floating village’ for lunch. We had let the company know we were vegetarians, and were told that we would have lunch options. Upon arrival, our guide told us to go through the buffet line. There was rice and noodles, followed by a strange soup. When I asked if it was vegetarian and asked about ingredients, I was told first it was lentils, then chickpeas, then that it was vegetarian and then that it was not. I went to the guide, and he took me to the restaurant manager. He explained that we would appreciate something with protein, not just rice and noodles. The manager asked if eggs and tofu would work, and I said yes. I said a bowl of peanuts would work. Ten minutes later, we received a bowl of hot water with lettuce, glass noodles, and carrots in it. We then got french fries and tempura baby corn. No tofu, no nuts, no eggs, zero protein. So again, everyone else on the tour had a buffet of options and we had noodles and rice. We all paid the same price, I am not sure why vegetarians are not offered anything. We then had 15 minutes to ‘explore,’ then back on the boat to drive by a rock formation. No explanation, nothing. Just, ‘take a photo of the rock,’ and then we were off again. Finally we arrived at the snorkeling spot. We had 15-20 minutes in the water and were called back in for the drive to Hong Island. I was excited to finally get to go. And then…we were told we were dropping someone off and the rest of us had to stay on the boat to go back to the pier–no Hong Island for us. That makes no sense. We booked this tour specifically for the fact it hit the islands we wanted to see. But only two people on the tour got to go to the Hong Islands. No explanation was ever given. After we arrived at a different dock than the one we departed from (we were told it was due to choppiness), we were loaded onto a pickup tuktuk. But there were 12 of us and 10 seats in the back. One person had to ride up front and the other had to stand up and hold on for the trip back. I asked the guide about the trip discrepancies, and said I thought maybe we had been checked into the wrong tour. He called the office, who apparently told him that their tours don’t necessarily match the listings on Viator. If that is the case, why am I using Viator at all? If the tours do not include the listed venues, it seems like Viator and the tour operators can drop things with no consequence. I requested a partial refund from Viator and was told they would not consider it. I do want to specify that our tour guide and boat team were so sweet and caring (but had zero options to fix anything). They were the one good thing about this trip.

    Response from the operator: Dear Valued Customer, Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We sincerely apologize for the disappointing aspects of your experience and any inconvenience caused during the tour. We regret to hear about the confusion during check-in, the changes to the itinerary, and the discomfort you experienced during the canoeing activity. Your concerns about the vegetarian meal options are completely understandable, and we are sorry that your dietary needs were not properly accommodated. We will ensure this issue is addressed with our partners to improve meal provisions for future guests. Additionally, we acknowledge your frustration regarding the unexpected itinerary changes, including missing Hong Island and the lack of clear explanations. We understand how important it is for tours to align with their advertised descriptions, and we will review this matter with our team to prevent similar situations in the future. We appreciate your kind words about our guide and boat crew. It is important to us that our guests feel well taken care of, even in situations where adjustments are needed. Your feedback is invaluable, and we will use it to improve our services. If you would like to discuss this further, please feel free to reach out to us directly. We truly appreciate your patience and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with a much better experience in the future. Best regards Oh-Hoo Travel

    Really enjoyed this day out. Great boat, crew and beautiful spots to visit.

    We thoroughly enjoyed this experience. It was New Year’s Day and the great speed boat had a comfortable number of people on it. The Thai guide spoke great English, was fun and explained timings and where we were going several times so everyone got it. We had done a similar experience at Phi Phi Don and this experience was far superior and better priced.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that you thoroughly enjoyed the experience and that the speed boat was comfortable, even on New Year’s Day. It’s great to know that your guide’s clear English, friendly attitude, and thorough explanations helped make the day enjoyable for everyone. We’re especially pleased that you felt this experience was superior and better value compared to a similar tour you had elsewhere. Thank you again for your kind feedback, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.

    How much does James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi cost?

    +

    Prices start at $2760 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krabi is not rushed.

    Is James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 42 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.7/5 across 3 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi?

    +

    Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krabi and add a light layer if any part of the 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does James Bond Island Sightseeing or Canoeing by Speedboat from Krabi start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Krabi?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Krabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Full-Day Phi Phi Islands Tour with Lunch from Krabi, Phi Phi Early Bird & 4 Islands - Day Tour by Speedboat From Krabi, Railay and 4-Island Sunset Speedboat Cruise with Night Snorkel. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Krabi?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Krabi?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
