Amazing day out on the water! The James Bond Island tour was so much fun — stunning scenery, smooth speedboat ride, and the canoeing through caves and lagoons was unforgettable. The crew were friendly, funny, and made sure everyone had a great time. Lunch on the island was delicious too. Definitely one of the best experiences in Phuket — highly recommend!

Absolutely great trip. Very well organised. Don’t forget to take water shoes, towel and mask and snorkel if so inclined.
Boat was lovely with a constant supply of ice cold drinks and under shade unless you got one of the 4 seats at the very front on deck. Lovely fresh fruit in ample supply later in the afternoon too, lovely fresh pineapple and watermelon.
First stop James Bond Island - absolutely awesome. For someone who has wanted to go here since seeing In the James Bond film which can I add was over 30 years ago! It was definitely bucket list stuff for me and not only did the island not disappoint but stunning views on the way there were just magnificent. You see these islands on TV and films, et cetera, but really it’s not until you see them in person that you get the true splendour of the area.
Next stop kayaking, we had a lovely guide, who really did try best with English and his English but certainly better than my Thai ! Again sending scenery whilst paddling around the island and very peaceful considering that there were lots of people doing it at the same time.
Next was lunch at the stilted village. Very nice food and gorgeous scenery while you ate it. You were then invited to walk around the stilted village before rejoining the boat. Obviously all the stall holders wanted you to buy from them as the tourists are their main source of income, but the stalls were all very similar. Be prepared to be approached by every stall holder and they were all so lovely you want to buy from them all! The biggest surprise at the stilted Village what’s the very large temple built mainly out of marble that was in the middle of it. Very ornate and it did get you wondering how on earth something so heavy was able to stand on tilt in the middle of the sea.
Back on the boat and off to another island where you get to go in some pretty spectacular cave. If you’re tall, just watch your head!
We ended the day at another lovely island with a gorgeous sandy beach and a bar with beach service at your deck chairs 😀 We had a lovely hour sat relaxing and swimming in the lovely sea there and I got to experience my first floating walkway, which was very weird 🤣
Back on the boat and it was just 15 minutes back to base. I would add that base was Phuket Marina and some of the boats there were really spectacular 🤑🤑
All in all it was a fabulous day truly enjoyed by myself and my husband, but probably more so me as I got to tick another thing off my bucket list ✅ 🤣
Would highly recommend.

Thank you so much for your amazing and detailed review! 😍😍
We’re absolutely delighted to hear that the trip was such a special experience for you — especially finally visiting James Bond Island after dreaming about it for so many years! Moments like that truly make these tours unforgettable.
It’s wonderful to know you enjoyed every part of the day, from the stunning scenery and canoeing experience to the lunch at the floating village and relaxing beach stop at the end. We’re also happy you appreciated the fresh fruit, cold drinks, and comfort on board throughout the trip.
Your description of the scenery perfectly captures the beauty of Phang Nga Bay — photos and films really can’t compare to seeing it in person.
Thank you as well for sharing such helpful tips for future travelers regarding water shoes, towels, and snorkeling gear.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and are so happy we could be part of another bucket list memory for you! We hope to welcome you and your husband again for another unforgettable adventure in Phuket!

I traveled solo on the big boat to James Bond Island and everything was perfectly organized. The crew was friendly, the views were stunning, and the canoeing through the caves was a highlight. Felt safe and enjoyed every moment. Truly worth it!

I had the most incredible adventure on the James Bond Islands tour! From start to finish, everything was perfect. The speedboat ride was exhilarating, and the canoeing through the sea caves was a once-in-a-lifetime experience—so stunning and unique! Koh Hong and Panak Island were just as breathtaking as they are on screen, and exploring the village of Payne was such a highlight. The crew was friendly, professional, and ensured everyone had a fantastic time. Thai buffet lunch was delicious, and the round-trip hotel transfers made everything so easy. Highly recommend this tour—an absolute must-do in Phuket!

Pick up was not good
Too costly for experience
Don't pay more than $40
Expansive to for things you do
Average experience and no good food 😕
Good part
Kayak in cave
Response from Host, Sep 2024
Dear Naman_R,
Thank you for your feedback. Regarding your pickup, it was scheduled on time, but we understand that upon meeting the driver, you needed to use the washroom, which caused a slight delay. To manage time efficiently, the driver proceeded to another hotel and then returned to pick you up.
We take pride in offering the best value for our tours on TripAdvisor, and we recommend experiencing it before the High Season 2023. Our buffet lunch is diverse, with options including vegetarian and halal dishes, catering to all preferences.
We’re thrilled that you enjoyed the kayaking experience, and we wish you many more happy adventures in the future.
Best regards,
PTT

Good trip but seemed very quick and not enough time in each island. Boat was a bit crowded but still worth a visit.

Merci beaucoup pour votre commentaire !
Nous sommes ravis de lire que vous avez vécu une très belle expérience et que vous avez apprécié le bateau, le repas et l’ambiance générale de la journée. C’est un plaisir de savoir que le guide a contribué à rendre l’excursion encore plus agréable et que vous avez pu profiter d’un petit cocktail sur la dernière plage — une belle façon de terminer la journée 😊
Merci également pour le conseil concernant le rameur du canoë, c’est une attention toujours appréciée.
Nous espérons avoir le plaisir de vous accueillir à nouveau pour une prochaine aventure dans la baie de Phang Nga ! 🌴✨

Le manque de professionnalisme du prestataire. Le jour de la prestation il pleuvait à torrent, après contact avec Viator, malgré l envoi de vidéo prouvant la grosse intempérie, rien à faire, pas d annulation possible. Les finances avant la sécurité et la qualité de prestation. Nous avons donc décidé d annulée par nous même. Et même pas un geste commercial. Alors oui la prestation aurait sûrement dû être bonne en temps normal. Mais le manque de professionnalisme à tout gâché.
Response from Host, Sep 2023
En cas de pluie, nos excursions ont généralement lieu comme prévu, sauf en cas de vagues importantes ou de restrictions imposées par la police maritime. Le jour de votre excursion prévue, il n'y avait pas de telles restrictions, et la visite se déroulait normalement. Cependant, vous avez choisi de ne pas y participer, ce qui a entraîné une situation de non-présentation. Dans de tels cas, malheureusement, nous ne proposons pas de remboursement car l'excursion était disponible et prête à partir comme prévu.
Nous apprécions votre compréhension de notre politique et espérons que vous envisagerez de nous rejoindre pour une autre aventure à l'avenir.

No reservar con Viator, desde España al contratar las excursiones la chica me confirmó que los traslados estaban incluidos, incluso era uno de los hoteles que aparecía en el desplegable. Al llegar a Tailandia en cada excursión el tour operador nos pidió un extra por transfer y al justificarle con los voucher que estaban incluidos nos daban la opción de cancelar a un día de la excursión. Es una farsa y nadie te da explicaciones. Hemos tenido que pagar más de 80€ en unos traslados que estaban incluidos. No aconsejo xo contratar con Viator

Querido Viajero,
Esperamos que este mensaje te encuentre bien. Queremos abordar una preocupación reciente con respecto a tu experiencia en el tour de Phi Phi Khai. Valoramos profundamente tu elección de embarcarte en esta aventura con nosotros.
En aras de la transparencia, nos gustaría aclarar nuestra política de traslados para áreas remotas.

Esta política se detalla claramente en el sitio web de Viator durante el proceso de selección del tour, así como en el voucher del tour y los detalles de la reserva que compartimos contigo a través de WhatsApp.
