        Superb Travel Experience
        We had our airport transfers and 2 private tours organised with this Company before arrival in Thailand. Our pick up journey from Airport went smoothly. As it was late in the evening, Jo dropped us near a convenient store to pick up shopping . How thoughtful 😊 We did Khao Sok tour, trekking in the jungle, visited Monkey temple, followed by delicious lunch and then bamboo rafting in the afternoon. Well organised, only rained for 10 minutes in a very hot day. The second tour was James Bond island, travelled in a long tail boat to another ship with 007 logo, then transferred to a canoe with the local guide to view the little islands nearby. We only spent an hour on James Bond island as it got busy around noon. At this point,we escaped the crowds to our scrumptious lunch on the floating village and visited the temple in the cave afterwards. This has been a rewarding day with lots of photo opportunities. On our final day in Khao Lak, Joe was at our hotel 5 o' clock in the morning to take us back to Phuket airport, again reliable as ever! We want to thank our guides (probably spelt incorrectly, sorry) Opus, Bal and most importantly Jo for providing the comprehensive travel experience. 👍

        Surin Islands snorkeling was pretty amazing!
        Excellent snorkeling sight with lots of beautifully colored coral and fish. We loved that over the course of the day we got three 40 minutes stops to snorkel. Since this was our only snorkeling on our Thailand trip, it was great to feel like we could pack a lot in on one one-day trip. We also really enjoyed the two other stops--one to a local, traditional community, and the second for lunch on an island with a beautiful beach.

        Fabulous
        A fabulous day with a walk through the jungle, bamboo rafting and lots of monkeys (of course that was luck!). Our guide Tom was great - his knowledge of the wildlife and area was brilliant. I would highly recommend.

        Best day out ever!!!
        Amazing day out with a very knowledgeable guide, Tom. We started in a local market before travelling to the national park. As there was only the myself and my husband on the trip we were able to select a slightly shorter trek. We took it really easily through the jungle with lots of time for photos, spotting spiders, monkeys and tarantula nests! We drank water from the bamboo and scaled a small steep incline using a rope to assist. We then went for an amazing lunch, before bamboo rafting down the river. One of our best days ever, made all the more enjoyable by Tom who was really helpful and friendly.

        Day trip to Khao Sok National Park with bamboo rafting (from Khao Lak)
        We really enjoyed our day trip to the National park. So beautiful and our guide was fun & knowledgable. We hiked for a couple of hours, seeing the natural beauty of the park, and swam in the river at the end of the walk. The bamboo rafting was amazing too, so relaxing & beautiful. Thanks for a great day!

        Outstanding experiences in small groups! Highly recommended.
        Wonderful little company! We went on three trips with Maren, Nueng and Alina. Their service is great and all three of them were absolutely charming, knowledgeable and fun. We were provided with free water and Coca Cola. The schedule was flexible and they were always able to adapt it to our needs. My friend had a leg injury and they found wonderful ways to work around any obstacles for her. We saw the beauty of Thailand far from the masses and some of the most incredible sunsets and sun rises of our lives. I highly recommend the Khao Sok elephant tour we took as well as the Hidden Gem tour which is well worth the early get up time. No big groups. No rush. No crowds. Outstanding guides and safe driving. 100% recommended.

        Sunrise tour Phang Nga
        We booked a small-group Phang Nga bay sunrise tour, it turned out that it was just the two of us. We were picked up at our hotel in Khao Lak at 04:00 am but watching the sunrise over Phang Nga bay was worth getting up early! From the viewpoint, we drove to a small village where we boarded a longtail boat and explored caves, islands and stopped at a beach for a swim. Our guide Nong (hope I did get this right) was fantastic, very knowledgeable about the local fauna and flora and his English was great. We were always a step ahead of the tours coming from Phuket by speedboat and had the islands and caves for ourselves. After the boat trip, we had a delicious lunch at the village we started out and, on our way back to the hotel we stopped at a coffee bar which served fantastic coffee in the tree tops. We absolutely enjoyed the tour and can only recommend it!

        Really nice jungle experience !!
        Thanks so much to the organizer for this great experience! I booked a private tour through the jungle and it definitely met my expectations. I had a very good guide who showed me various things in the jungle during a 3h trekking experience. We also visited two food markets where I could make new culinary experiences, stopped at a restaurant near the jungle to enjoy some lovely food, had a river trip with a bamboo float and fed some monkeys - which was really funny 😂. In total, it was a diversified, entertaining experience that nobody should miss !!

        Maren is an amazing tour guide!
        I was on the James Bond/Phang Nga Bay tour. I was travelling alone so I was worried about meeting others, but Maren the tour guide was so wonderful. She instantly made me feel more comfortable and soon the whole group was speaking together like old friends. After being picked up from the hotel and being driven to Phang Nga town, we arrived at a temple built into a cave with a large reclining buddha, as well as some exciting and hungry monkeys near the cave. The locals there sell cheap food (fruit) for feeding the monkeys! Then we went on a long-tail boat ride through estuaries leading out to the ocean and Phang Nga Bay. This was beautiful. There are really large mountains that come up sharply out of nowhere and the sides of the rivers were surrounded by Mangroves. Then we kayaked (there are kayak guides that will paddle the boat for you and they have amazing eyesight for seeing monkeys and birds in the forests surrounding the water, or you can request to paddle on your own) through a really cool cave and saw more monkeys in the trees! This was followed by exploring James Bond Island - a must see for any James Bond fan! Finally, we ate dinner at a really cool restaurant on an island built on stilts: 3 Malaysian families moved to this island 150+ years ago and now 100 families live there, expanding the island with floating or elevated platforms as the population grows. They even have a floating football (soccer) pitch! Food was really. Then we caught the sunset in the long-tail boat on the way back. Really, a beautiful day trip!

        Amazing day in Khao Sok!
        We had such a great day with Johanna, starting with a visit to a local market to sample lots of amazing foods and great iced coffee. Then 2.5 hour trek in the jungle where we saw more monkeys going about their day in their natural habitat than we usually see in a zoo! After that we had a refreshing swim in the waterfall then a great lunch followed by a super relaxing trip down the Sok river on a bamboo raft. We stopped by the monkey temple on the way back then got dropped of our hotel right in time for Happy Hour, well deserved after such a great and very full day! Thanks again Johanna for being such a fantastic guide :)

        James Bond tour is great
        We have done the James Bond tour. We started with a 1,5 hour drive in a van to the boot. We stopped at a nice coffee bar nearby the boot. The boot brought us to the canoes, we had a very friendly boy who showed us the nicest places. Beautiful rocks as big as mountains raising up from the sea. We also went in a cave. After this we went to James Bond island. Even it was low season it was very crowded by tourists. We did the lunch at the floating village and after that we float back by boot to the van and visit a temple. Overall it was a nice and good organist tour.
