The boat ride was stable although there was rain on and off. Luckily, we brought raincoats. They do sell raincoats at the wharf. The view was nice. We were lucky that the weather was good when we reached James Bond Island. About the canoe ride in Talu Island, we eventually took the canoe ride as they have someone to row for us. Views are nice too.

Big fan of James Bond so felt I had to see the famous island! Before the trip we thought we wouldn’t be bothered about any of the extra activities…but the floating village was great too. We didn’t canoe…but on speaking to other guests who did - they said it was a highlight. The guides were superb - and we felt really looked after.

We booked the tour with the speedboat but the boat was not working so went by long tailboat instead and it worked out great. The pier is a long way from Ao Nang, about 1.5 hours by mini bus but you see some great scenery on the way and on the way back stop at the monkey temple with its reclining Buddha and then some waterfalls, the waterfalls weren't as spectacular as you would hope and are really a filler to break the journey. The trip out to "James Bond" island is very scenic and it you have booked the optional kayaking you stop along the way to be paddled around an island looking into caves and you can see quite a lot of wildlife. The local who took us was very informative. "James Bond island is small but scenic but has lots of souvenir stalls which detract from it a bit. On the way back you stop at the stilted village for lunch which was quite good, you have time to have a walk through the village. The locals were saying that it was very quiet as there were no Chinese visitors but it all seemed very busy to us so one can only imagine that when the Chinese are mobile then it is really crowded.

Prompt pick up , big day out . I really enjoyed the long tail boat trip out to the first island . The canoeing option is a must, although the canoe guide was constantly on about giving him a tip. Spectacular scenery through the cave in the middle of the island . James Bond island is a must see , sometimes hard to get a picture without lots of tourists in it . Great setting for lunch but don’t expect much from the smorgasbord... monkeys at the temple provided entertainment. Had a swim in the waterfall pools to finish off the day before the 1 1/2 hour shuttle back to Krabi town . The staff were friendly and overall had a memorable experience.

Great trip, good guide, good weather, amazing island. Especially canoeing on the lake, transportation is 15 minutes late. Long tail boats are good.
