Explore James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay caves, sea kayaking, Panyee village, lunch, and a beach stop on Phuket’s lively speedboat tour.
“It was a lovely experience. Jimmy is really great and kind person,like most of the Thai people we have met. He even tried to teach the group most used words "hello" and "thank you" in Thai. We were not a big group which I liked and we had more time to spend on some stops,unlike the Phi Phi Island trip,where everything was in a hurry. This is my personal opinion. I prefer to enjoy the Islands. We finished our trip with an hour stop on Coconut Island - perfect time to enjoy this small,private beach. I highly recomment Jimmy and this adventure club for everyone who prefer small groups.”

“Everything was great from the beggining to the end. The pick up was on time,the check in went smoothly but the boat ride was bumpy.. today the sea was kinda windy so we had huge waves and a rough ride. Our tour guide was Mr. Sexy Goodies who made the trip perfect and extra sexy but the whole crew was super friendly,funny any helpful. The islands are breathtaking with crystal clear water,white sandy beaches,lush greenery and lively wildlife. We saw huge crabs,baby sharks,colorful fish and playful monkies. I’d defo reccommend this sexy tour with sexy jumps,sexy snorkeling and sexy people ! ☺️”
