My son and I went on this trip yesterday, what a great experience we had with hnoo and the boatman.we were collected as arranged on time ,nice vehicle,and brought to the pier.hnoo was very friendly all day, great chat about his country, phuket, the national park,plantations etc,very interesting all day. The activities were great,caves ,canoeing, James bond Island and we had a most memorable day. The private boat really made the day,no waiting on others,just stopped where we wanted and moved on at our own pace. The lunch was very tasty, lovely Thai food,nice setting looking at the sea.hnoo made sure we had a great day out and is a top class guide and person.we were delighted with our experience and would highly recommend the private boat hire. It's the way to go!
