About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Voyager517002187510 contributionsFantastic day, so interesting and beautiful.5 out of 5. Our guide was really friendly. I loved the big budda. I recommend that anyone travelling to phuket does this tour.Written 17 August 2024
- Michael P0 contributionsSunset is beautiful, the rest was mediocreDon’t get me wrong the trip is nice. You spend time on the Catamaran, you get to snorkel snd you see the sunset. All good But for this amount of money I expect way more!! First we had to way almost an hour at the harbor for all the other passengers Way can’t they coordinate a proper time? Second the catamaran was meant to sail but they drove the whole way mit the motor Even dough we had good wind Third the main spot for snorkeling was closed to to jellyfish and the didn’t provide an alternative or price reduction Forth the food included in the trip was very bad and not worth the money Our highlight was our guide! She was amazing And the sunset is beautiful but to be honest it would have been so also from land 😂Written 16 August 2024
- cameronc7380 contributionsTerribly frustrating experienceWe went to Andaman water park today with our teenage daughters. It looked like it had all the potential to be a great day and with some hope, something close to Bali water bomb park- unfortunately not even close. They have some great rides and a very well set out park and great facilities but unfortunately that’s where it ends. The ride line ups are absolutely horrendous, one hour plus for most of the good rides with around 20-30 seconds of fun to get back to the bottom. Unlike Bali Water bomb park (which I will add are more than adequate with safety) they take safety to a ridiculous level, the wait times in-between each person/persons embarking on each ride is ridiculous, the frustration flows right through the entire of the patrons, people trying to jump ques and pushing through lines, with no authority or organisation whatsoever. The amount of dithering around the park attendants do in between each ride is ridiculous and there seems to be a lack of staff at every ride and eatery as well. Even to get a drink or some lunch is a very frustrating process. I’d recommend to management to take a trip to Bali and see how a water park should operate and I’d recommend to any tourist travelling to Phuket to give Adaman water park a very wide berth. Not my idea of a relaxing and enjoyable holiday experience.Written 12 July 2024
- 429suzannep0 contributions50 / 50This was in many ways a great choice. Some of the island stops and the chance to snorkel was out of this world stunning 🤩 On the flip side we were not expecting the level of people also visiting and the commercialization. To visit a remote small island in the sea to find rows of deck chairs and umbrellas for hire and people selling souvenirs and clothes was not the picture we were expecting. It was nice to see a little bar with cold drinks and beers etc but to not be able to sit out of the sun unless you paid for a chair and umbrella was again not the experience we were expecting on a remote island stop. Maya island was great to experience but the stop was packed with people, and not a romantic remote memory like the film. Our guide was great and funny and we ran to time all day. Constant water and local Pepsi available all day. NOTE: getting on and off the boats and also at the dock is not ideal for people that are not mobile. Even though the guys are great at helping you the steps are deep. TAKE LOTS OF CASH - ALMOST ALL PLACES DON’T TAKE CREDIT CARD AND THOSE THAT DO CHARGE BETWEEN 3 and 7% 😱Written 28 June 2024
- Souradip S0 contributionsPerfect ExperiencePerfect experience. The hosts tried their best to keep us entertained and gave us enough time at every stop. Food was decent at the muslim village. Overall, a really perfect experience. This was one of the highlights for our Thailand trip.Written 25 June 2024
- Eiffel050 contributionsZipeedee....woah!Zipline experience was great. Highly professional and safety measures well managed. Great for young and the younger seniors. Slight uphill walk to warm up the muscles. A half way resting point may be necessary for some but manageable.Written 20 June 2024
- adriannak6420 contributionsFabulous!!!Wonderful experience! Best zipline experience I've had. Amazing views from the treetops, and I felt totally safe. The workers were AMAZING and so funny. Highly recommend this activity!Written 13 May 2024
- Nicole F0 contributionsLong day. The views were amazing. Too busy and too rushed at times.Spicy our guide and the crew was amazing. Great scenery but so many people. It felt rushed at Phi Phi island for the ones who snorkelled. Lunch was very ordinary, mostly spicy food. Lots of talk and hard sell before even leaving the jetty.Written 1 May 2024

- Nwlgraham0 contributionsNot for people who care about animal welfare and employees being treated with gratitudeSadly for us we found this a disappointing experience but the theatre and props and dancers are excellent. We rated it low because the employees in the restaurant and venue seemed over worked and unhappy and sad . We could be wrong but the ambiance was strange . This review is not a reflection of the employees but of who is running the place. The dinner was like school dinners in a vast hall and it felt like “ getting bums on seats” the food tasted good but again a real sense of us being on a conveyor belt . The worst aspect was we did not realise that at the start of the show there would be an elephant outside having photos taken . The poor beast looked drugged up to the eyeballs and was in our opinion in distress . The more we pay for and support this the less chance animals welfare will be considered and these beautiful beasts will be incarcerated and destined for a life caged and unsupported. Please explain to your kids that they shouldn’t have a ride or photo because it supports cruelty to these gentle giants . This could be amazing if they treated the employees animals and actually guests with more respect . Left me feeling sadWritten 26 March 2024
- OnAir336110611950 contributionsExpected much much more especially from all the advertising that they doNot worth the money and a waste of time The buffet had many options but only the fries were edible. The show is 50 minutes of colorful statues driving by on the stage. They take away all phones and cameras so that no-one can film this garbage and post it here and other reviews so that you will not see whats there. My 3 year old had fun but adults felt like it was a big wasteWritten 25 February 2024

- Hodgkiss1590 contributionsWas alrightWater park was okay. It wasn’t that busy yet the waiting times on slides that required a dingy was just silly. The system is just strange, waiting at the bottom of a slide for a ring which on a couple slides took close to an hour. It’s fair to say that the park clearly lacks in the amount of dingys required to accommodate the amount of people going to the water park, when as previously stated wasn’t even that busy.Written 12 February 2024

I truly wish I could give this trip more than 5 stars because it is well worth the cost! Took a big boat from Phuket, trip included the famed James Bond island and also the caves of Hong and Phanak islands in canoes! Crew went above and beyond making the trip wonderful. Tour guide Mana was so impressive that I declare him a Thai national treasure! He was that good. Thank you to him and the entire staff at BJ Canoeing for this incredible adventure!!!!

Not a very luxury experience. The boat was fine, but there were a ton of people on it. I ended up sharing a table with another family. The bathrooms were clean, which was nice. Lots of announcements and lots of rude guests who pushed for food. The itinerary wasn’t very nice- just some kayaking and looking at island. Drinks were price with little alcohol. something in the food made me sick for the next few days. Overall, I can’t say I recommend.

Day well spent. Definitely recommend. Drinks are 200-300 baht, so not too expensive. Buffet lunch was delicious and dinner was also good. Perfect to just relax and enjoy this beautiful nature. Day ended with amazing sunset and dancing on the boat.

Amazing!! We had the best time on this tour. The boat is beautiful, the food is good and the canoeing in and around the cave was absolutely breathtaking. It was one of our highlights while visiting Phuket. The staff was amazing and got the party started once the sun went down.
Shout Out to Coco who made my trip/ 60th birthday extra special!! He went above and beyond and his dance moves were everything.

Excellent customer care, reachable at all the time. Loved our comfortable trip . We had tight schedule to reach phuket from bangkok due to sudden plan/unplanned. So decided to come from to airport to the pier directly. The admin coordinated with cruise and us to catch our cruise

Actually a really good day out. Everything was exactly as advertised except the crew was far more professional than I expected and loads of fun. I can’t recommend this highly enough. I was a little worried when setting out as I’m in my 6Os and there were lots of younger people on board, but it made no difference as there is lots of space for everyone to have their own fun. Lunch was a buffet with quality food and lots of it. The boat was really clean and comfy. Overall a really great day out. I’d do it again in a heartbeat.

It was one of the most exciting trip for us. Pick up and drop off from any hotel in phuket is included. Getting to the hidden caves at the James bond island by luxury Catamaran was the greatest. Food was okay I’ll give it 8/10. Could be better if there was little more selection. Definitely would recommend to anybody.

What a fun day! Everything about this plan worked out well. From the comfortable boat, food, Crew, and the locations visited. We spent a good amount of time in each place. Plus the added perk of fun music! I can't imagine a better way to visit this area.
