Choose a Phang Nga Bay day that’s crafted—not copied. We time our route to tides and crowds, so your canoe slips into Panak/Hong sea caves when they’re calm and open, not rushed. Canoeing is included and done by licensed paddlers, leaving you hands-free for photos and comfort. Pick your style: the Big Boat for roomy decks, shade, and a relaxing sail, or the Speedboat for extra time on the islands and fewer transits. Both include Ao Por Pier departure (the least congested side of the bay), lunch at Ko Panyi, and signature stops at Khao Phing Kan & James Bond Island plus a swim at Naka/Kaya Island. On board you’ll have soft drinks, snacks, restrooms, and English-speaking guides who brief you on geology, reef-safe etiquette, and local life. Round-trip hotel transfers are organized by zone with clear pickup windows. Small groups, tide-smart cave access, guaranteed canoe time, and thoughtful touches throughout—this is Phang Nga done right, with comfort and discovery in balance.

Phuket: Elephant Nature Walk - Guided Tour with Transport

Tolly_C, May 2026

Brilliant trip

One of the best elephant tours I've had the pleasure of. You get to walk amongst these magnificent creatures in their natural habitat. Our guide was very knowledgeable and the elephants appeared happy and well cared for. Feeding time wasn't rushed with plenty of time to feed them and wow do they like to eat. Would definitely recommend.

Phuket Elephant Sanctuary Canopy Walkway Tour

Danny_W, Apr 2026

Great to see the elephants in good care

Love they take good care of the elephants at the sanctuary. We visited the elephant hospital with 2 elephants in it. They were fed and medically treated there. We also saw them walking freely in the sanctuary. They were very calm and friendly. One of them even walked next to us when we were taking a photo. The guide was also friendly and knowledgeable. Keep up the good work and best of luck on expanding the sanctuary!

Phuket Elephant Nature Reserve Ethical Sanctuary

Courtney_T, Apr 2026

Great ethical elephant...

Great ethical elephant experience! Would highly recommend if ethics are your priority. Plenty of great interaction and picture opportunities because you get to prepare their lunch and are very close to the elephants but you are not allowed to touch the elephants at all. Wonderful experience!

Phuket: Phang Nga Bay Bioluminescent Plankton and Sea Canoes tour

Tina_M, Apr 2026

Bioluminescent tour

Fabulous late afternoon/evening trip. Well looked after, not strenuous, the site were wonderful and the floating village a highlight with the food provide by them being exceptional and excellent. Staff were happy and informative also noted how clean the boat was, staff were cleaning and keeping tidy throughout. Recommend to anyone in the area. Son was our guide. 🙏🏻

Phi Phi with Maya and Bamboo Island Day Trip by Speedboat

Swara_M, Mar 2026

Would Go Again, 100%

Me and a friend (25 y/o women, from USA) LOVED the experience. From other reviews, we were worried about feeling rushed or too crowded, but did not experience either! Our boat was full, but we never felt the boat or beaches were overcrowded. Both snorkeling spots were filled with great fish. Our tour guides and boat crew were helpful, funny, and outstanding overall; they even gave us water, juice, lots of fresh fruit, and even ice cream throughout the day - go Linda and Mr. Saxchsy!

James Bond, Phang Nga Bay and Hong Island Tour from Phuket

Alycia_W, Mar 2026

Fun day!

Mac was our guide and he was very attentive. We got to be paddled around in a canoe, walk through a cave, and walk around James bond island. We swam in the ocean. Wonderful day- we did two different boat tours, different experiences and we enjoyed them both. Thai food is always a good choice for lunch

Half day with Elephants at Patong Elephant Hug （No ride No trick）

Douglas_L, Mar 2026

I am understanding now why they are called gentle Giants.

Bring a change of clothes as you will get dirty and wet. Morning with the elephant learning about them, having the opportunity to feed them share in a mud bath, and then wash them down is one of the most awesome experiences you can ever hope for! This day absolutely exceeded my expectations. If I am back in Phuket again, I will most certainly enjoy this activity the next time.

Phuket : James Bond Island and Phang Nga Bay by Premium Yacht

Lisa, Mar 2026

Great day on the water

Had an absolute blast on this trip. There were only 35 of us on the yacht & we had the best experience ever. Pick up arrived early for us & only 4 of us on our mini bus. Driver was excellent . Had our safety briefing & headed to the pier where we got local buses to where the yacht was waiting, Crew were most pleasant & helpful which made our experience all the better . We headed to James Bond island first which was just beautiful (tip - the ladies loos were the worst I’ve ever been in in my life!) headed back to the boat & headed to Hong Island where kayaks were waiting for us , we had a great laugh with the guy rowing ours! Back to the boat for heading back to the pier. Water, drinks and snacks were plentiful all day, with the option to buy crisps/beers etc. I’m a very fussy eater and felt a bit nervous about dinner, however I thoroughly enjoyed the dishes. We had chicken & cashew nuts, sweet and sour chicken, salad etc followed by mango sticky rice. We then left the boat, and headed back to our mini bus. Was a long, very enjoyable day! Thank you to all the crew who were so happy to help with anything 😎

Phuket ATV Adventure Tour

Clare_M, Feb 2026

Fantastic ATV Adventure in Phuket

Had an amazing ATV experience in Phuket, especially riding up to the Big Buddha viewpoint. The tour was well organized, and the guides were friendly, professional, and made sure everyone felt safe before starting. The jungle trails were fun and adventurous with a great mix of dirt tracks and hills. Reaching the Big Buddha and enjoying the stunning views from the top was definitely the highlight! Highly recommend this activity if you want a bit of adrenaline and incredible scenery in Phuket. Would definitely do it again!

Phuket Paradise ATV and Zipline Experience

Jordan_S, Feb 2026

ATV and Zipline

We had the BEST time doing the ATV ride and ziplining! The entire experience was so much fun from start to finish. The ATV track was awesome — such a great mix of terrain that made it exciting but still felt safe and well-organized. You can tell a lot of thought went into the course layout. The staff truly made the experience even better. Everyone was incredibly friendly, helpful, and professional. They made sure we felt comfortable, explained everything clearly, and kept the energy high the whole time. You can tell they really care about making sure guests have a great time. We had an absolute blast and would 100% recommend this to anyone looking for an adventure. Such a fun and memorable experience!

Maya Beach, Bamboo Island & Phi Phi Islands Tour From Phuket

Jomade, Jan 2026

Mayo Beach, Bamboo Island Φ Phi Islands tour from Phuket.

It was a fantastic day visiting the National Park islands. The day was very well organised and everything clearly explained. Felt totally safe and well looked after. Couldn’t believe we were offered breakfast when we arrived at the Marina. Our boat crew and guide were brilliant. Couldn’t have asked for a better boat and crew. It was an exhilarating day and saw lots of beautiful and awe inspiring scenery. The swimming and snorkelling opportunities were perfect. The restaurant we visited for lunch was in a perfect location, sitting by the sea. Food was delicious and lots to choose from. Something for every taste. The day was perfect, right from the morning pick up at our hotel to being dropped back off. A wonderful experience and would certainly recommend it. Well worth the money.

James Bond Island with Canoeing and Lunch by Speedboat

Scott_H, Dec 2025

Amazing Canoeing,Amazing Tour Guides

We chose Amazing Canoeing for our James Bond island tour because of the 5 star ratings and the ratings are a true reflection on this excellent tour company. Since booking we received regular updates with exact time pick up would be on the day.The minibus driver that drove us to the Royal Phucket Marina was very friendly and a safe driver.On arrival at the marina the tour was very well organised by firstly grouping us in different colour wristbands for our guide.We then had drinks and refreshments before a very informative safety briefing. We then headed to the speedboat with our guide Tune (probably the wrong spelling 😃).The boat was immaculate and the crew were friendly and helpful.Drinks and a toilet were provided on the boat if required. We then set off on our tour to the 5 different islands with the James Bond island the highlight of the day.All in all it was a fantastic tour from start to finish and I would highly recommend it and the team at amazing canoeing if James Bond island is on your to visit list.
