Book without hesitation. - We booked this private Longtail Boat tour and as soon as we booked, we felt taken care of. The team created a whatsapp group with their whole team and me, asked me questions about our preferences for the trip to customize it as best to our liking as possible. I talked to multiple people from the team and all of them were really accomodating and welcoming and made me feel like I made the right choice booking with them from the get go. The best part was our tour guide, Bessica. He is an absolute angel. We requested for our day to start at 7 am and Bessica was in our hotel lobby with the driver and transport before time early morning. In the car ride, in the boat, at every location we went to, Bess kept providing us much welcome information about the places, their history, the context behind things we saw. Bess took the initiative everywhere to make sure to take photos of us that now serve as really warm memories, which we would have not had otherwise as we were too invested in sightseeing etc. From pick up till drop off back to the hotel we felt taken care of, and Bess kept us engaged as well. There was chilled water throughout the trip, I'd requested for ice for the whole duration of the trip to keep our drinks cool that was also arranged. All in all, absolutely fun day, and a memorable trip visiting multiple islands, caves, riding a canoe. We wanted a private spot away from the crowd to get in the water for a bit and Bess took us to a secluded spot as well. Thank you to the team and best of luck!

Perfect day! - We had an absolutely brilliant day on our longboat trip around the islands, and I would 100% recommend this experience to anyone visiting the area. From start to finish, everything was fantastic. We visited some truly stunning places, including the famous James Bond Island, explored beautiful caves, enjoyed swimming, and had an amazing time kayaking. A big thank you to our wonderful tour guide, Anny, who was incredibly informative throughout the whole trip. She shared lots of interesting facts and local knowledge about the islands and caves. She was also so friendly, helpful, and made sure we were having a great time. Also thank you to our longboat driver, who was excellent all day. Both Anny and the driver were amazing at taking photos. They really went above and beyond to make sure we got pictures in all the best spots. Overall, it was a truly memorable day. Brilliant from beginning to end — 100% recommend.

An unforgettable island tour - I'm so glad we decided to book a private tour instead of one of the group tours. We could go at our own pace and spend more time in the areas we wanted to without competing with many other travelers. We were able to take better photos, enjoy each destination more, and were treated to a veritable feast. Natty was our fantastic guide who picked us up in a comfortable van, gave us interesting information, helped us to avoid the crowds, took photos, and more. We couldn't have asked for a better leader. I'd definitely recommend ForeverVacation and Natty to anyone looking to get the most out of their island tours. Truly and unforgettable experience.

Don’t hesitate, definitely book this tour! You won’t regret it. - Nick was our tour guide and he went above and beyond to make our boat tour memorable!! He took amazing photos for us (which my husband hates doing so this was awesome).. He also gave us a little history of Phuket and how to say hello and thank you in Thai. So informative and helpful, we didn’t have to worry about a thing…. The price was well worth everything we saw and the experience. This was by far our favorite thing of our whole vacation. We don’t really care for Thai food but we gave it a try and were very happy with the flavors and freshness. The canoe ride through caves was so sweet and romantic, the guy rowing our canoe was really funny and he was happy to take a photo with us, We were also very lucky to see monkeys at the ice cream caves which I was hoping for. If e come back to Phuket again, we definitely will book again!!! Thank you for a very memorable 15yr Anniversary experience! You guys are awesome!!!

Excellent experience and one of the best days we had whilst in Thailand. - Natty and the all team at Forever Vacation made this tour a fantastic experience. From the time we made the booking to the time we arrived back at our hotel, their level of professionalism, excellent communication and a fantastic caring and kind attitude. Natty is a fantastic tour guide, excellent communication, always very attentive to all our needs and requirements. We really enjoyed the day, all the stops were fantastic and the food was also great. Natty always had time to explain every little detail. Overall, excellent and highly recommended.

James Bond Island Longtail Boat Tour left us "Booming" with joy - We capped off our week in Phuket with a long tail boat ride to James Bond Island and surrounding islands. We decided on Forever Vacation Phuket because we wanted a private experience without the speedboat price tag. Hands down the best decision. Our day started with lux, private transport to the charming Phang Nga Pier where we met our captain and boarded our upgraded long tail boat. Go for the cushions. The wood boat is gorgeous, but a full day on the water begs for comfort and you won't regret it. Oo's and oh's aside, our guide, Boom, was the epitome of cool, professionalism we were hoping for. Boom made us feel like kings and our captain was agreeable to our "off the menu" requests. Boom was prepared for everything and gladly photographed moments of the trip we will cherish forever. As a gay couple, we were welcomed, encouraged and safe to be ourselves. We are eternally grateful to Boom, our captain and the Forever Vacation team for ensuring a magical experience. If you're on the fence like we were, look no further. Book Forever Vacation and ask for Boom!

Excellent tour of the cliffs with a great guide - Bessica was our guide and did a perfect job. The entire time he had little bits of info to share, even just in the car ride to the boat. We learned a lot! The first stop was boarding the long tail boat. We were taken to multiple caves in Phong Nga Bay where each felt like our own secret little spot to visit. The caves each have their own personality and some have wildlife like birds, bats, and even the occasional monkey. After visiting caves, we did the canoe portion around one of the cliffs which was relaxing and let you get real up close to the rock face to see the details in the formations. Following canoeing was the nearby village where we had lunch and toured the village. It’s a nice bonus among the cliffs. The last stop was the James Bond Island, Khao Phing Kan. The spot is a little busy but it photographs so nicely and there’s a little portion of beach marked for swimming if you so desire. Overall the trip was flawless and it wouldn’t have been possible without Bessica’s presence.

One of the most beautiful places in Thailand. - And away from puket. But we stopped in a temple inside a cave. The nga is beautiful and has no equivalent. Had some problem with the water level and time there we arrived late at James Bond, almost no sun on the beach. The boat that was taking us to the island of Muslims broke and we had to ask another ship for help. There is no Accessibility if you are very old or with locomotion problems.

BE CAREFUL- Middleman Tour, Not a Premium Experience -Misleading - this experience was very disappointing. Very Basic essentials were missing (no bathrooms for 5hours, no towels or refreshments), and the overall organization felt poor. The experience did not match what they made it sound like. Definitely not worth the price. You can find for 1/10 the price tours that will offer the same thing. The experience felt like a middleman setup — we were picked up, then handed off to different local operators (boat, canoeing) who seemed underpaid, with no real added value from the company. No cultural information was given. Not at all worth the moneyyy big scam. Be careful.
