Phang Nga Bay And James Bond Island Boat Tour From Phuket

I would like to say that Nancy was a great host. Had a nice time seeing all the places. Would recommend this to anyone.

I would not recommend to take this trip by car as we spent almost 5-6 hours in the van. Unfortunately we were not told that there will be an extra payment at the temple where there were monkeys and we ended up paying extra. Due to spending more time in the car we had limited time to spend on the island and felt like we just touched all the places and had no time to spend.

A cracking day out with such a wonderful experience all round. From the long boat to the James Bond Island, to lunch and the floating village back to the Buddha temple with monkeys the whole day was fun and beautiful. Happy was so happy as a guide and help us all enjoy the day. The canoes through the caves and being taken around was a special moment in amongst so many others. Would go again today it was that good. Will book our next trip out with Happy and the team again

Well worth the money. Absolutely stunning views. A varied day. Lovely lunch and canoe ride: fab staff

It was a wonderful day and our guide was exceptional. Very good value for money

Very good experience, the guides were excellent and friendly, very attentive, food was good and plentiful, very enjoyable day, highly recommend this trip

Must do trip for all ages. Great day and top guide. Highly recommended

Emma was more than amazing and the whole trip was beyond expectations!!the food was delicious, everything was perfect!!!

It was an amazing tour. The guide was so nice and helpful. We totally recomman.

The kayaking experience in low caves was exceptional. The water near James Bond island was not as clear as in Phi Phi Islands. The visit to the Floating Muslim Village was very good. The Mosque and the school play grounds in the floating village were unusual and impressive. We also enjoyed the halal food in this all Muslim village.

Awesome day and experience,from getting on to the long boat and getting off Cant express how good this trip was. Our guide Emma Was brilliant.

I recently took a trip to James Bond Island, and overall it was a wonderful experience. The driver arrived on time, the bus was comfortable and well‑maintained, and our tour guide Emma was excellent. She was friendly, supportive throughout the journey, and spoke clear, easy‑to‑understand English. The wooden boat was in good condition, and the team on board was helpful and organized. We also enjoyed kayaking, which was included as part of the tour. In general, the entire trip was smooth, enjoyable, and well‑planned. The only downside was the lack of clarity regarding additional costs. We were asked to pay an extra 1,200 THB for two people, which was not clearly mentioned in the original description. It would have been much better if all expenses were included from the beginning. Aside from that, the experience was memorable and enjoyable.

A worthwhile tour. A lot longer in the bus as the tour commences well into the mainland. James Bond island very touristy but worth a look. The kayaking through caves the highlight. Good value

Perfekt Trip with many sights, very nice and friendly Guide, perfect Organisation! Thank you very much!

Amazing from start to finish! Happy was an outstanding guide—professional, passionate, and unforgettable.

Very fun day visiting the 3 sites. My favourite was seeing the floating village. Emma was a lovely guide

This was a well organised trip and value for money. There was helpful info provided by Emma at the start of the adventure. Do take up the opportunity to go on the canoe, it is not scary just interesting and enjoyable. There are 4 stops to experience and all enjoyable. I particularly liked the visit to the Monkey Temple.

The tour was a bit disappointing. We were staying in Kamala and the drive to the boat departure area was 90 minutes each way. The tour description said water, fruit, and lunch would be provided. We each received a small bottle of water (only one for a 7 hour tour) - there was no fruit provided - and the lunch itself was provided at the floating Muslim village and it was very good. Our long tail boat was packed with approximately 27 people, all crammed together on bench seating. James Bond Island was incredibly congested, people everywhere. It was nothing more than a touristy stop with vendor stands selling trinkets and such. The “opportunity” to have photos taken whit holding James Bond style golden guns was pretty cheesy. The scenery while on the boat was lovely, however there was no effort on the part of our tour leader to offer dialogue on what we were seeing. It would have been better if the tour leader explained our surrounding beauty a bit. I cannot recommend this tour. There are 6 in our party, we have traveled many places worldwide and all 6 of us rated this particular tour the lowest of all the tours we have experienced together.

The best experience... excellent ... Emma our guide was the best ever...her English language is perfect and she is very happy to explain to us everything... She is top...10/10... Thank you Emma

Incredible, best tour ever, Thank you Emma !!!

Happy was an excellent guide for us. We enjoyed the day with a lot of variety from the James Bond island to the fishing village to the monkey cave temple

It was an amazing experience. Emma was incredible. There was heavy rainfall on our sightseeing day but she handled it so well

The boat tour was incredible. Our tour guide was so sweet and professional. She took amazing photos of our family on James Bond Island. The canoe guides were informative and took their time to show us different rock formations. Such an out of this world experience. The only downside was the posting and description did not tell us it would be an hour and 1/2 drive from our hotel in Pataong. The description was misleading regarding the amount of water and fruit snacks that would be available. Water was only provided at the canoe stop and lunch. Other than those small description mishaps, the trip was one of our highlights of our vacation to Phuket. Highly recommend this tour.

Thank you so much Happy and Team for a fantastic experience. We enjoyed every moment. Happy your name serves you well!

After a long drive from our hotel we finally arrived at our long tail boat. We all got life jackets on and started to go. The boat then stopped. After a while the driver got it going again and we arrived at the first stop . Didn't go kayaking so just waited for the rest of the group on a hot floating covered deck. Had a nice mint chocolate coffee. Our driver worked on the boat and got it going again. Great job. We then went to James Bond island. The island is small, very crowded but still nice views of the limestone casts. We then went to a floating muslim village for lunch which was amazing before heading back to the mainland to see the reclining Buddha and monkeys at the temple. Our boat driver and tour guide were great. The trip was good except issues with the boat and choosing to not go canoeing because of our young granddaughter.

It was an excellent experience Fully guided, good transportation and peace of mind. Highly recommended

James Bond Island excursion with kayaking into the cave and floating village (slightly post-apocalyptic vibe, but interesting). Stop at the Temple with a reclining Buddha in the cave. The cave was beautiful with many monkeys running around. The ride was long (about 2 hours to the destination on the minivan), but once you're on the boat, it's very beautiful and dynamic. You will pay additionally for park (250) and kayaking (300)

Excellent trip. Excellent guide (Happy) and at a much cheaper price than others were offering. Bonus stops too such as the temple inside the cave and the fishing village.

Operator did not disclose extra fees until the cancelation window had closed. Then they did not pick us up and are refusing a refund. Not honest operator refuse and cancel at all costs.

A special trip through the places visited. Koh Tapu (James Bond island) with unreal landscapes, Ta-Lu where we took a canoe ride through idyllic places, lunch in the floating Muslim village as well as the Monkey Temple where we saw both the Buddha standing on one side and the platful monkeys made an unforgettable trip with the all-knowing guide Nancy. 100% revommended.

Happy was a great tour guide!! Well explained directions, everything went very smooth. Sights were not super crowded except James bond island was a bit. But no biggie. Lunch was delicious and was plentiful. Catered to many dietary restrictions. Had a very disruptive guest demanding that the tour be cut short cause he wanted to make it back for another tour, as well as many other distrupitve/rude behaviors. Happy handled him very professionally.

A memorable experience on this fun and enjoyable boat cruise to James Bond Island. A pleasant experience with our Guide who was full of fun and jokes 👌Well worth the cost especially since it included sumptuous meals which we didn't expect 😀A must for anyone visiting Phuket 🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟Thank you.

We had a private transfer provided by the tour company who picked us up promptly and on time. Once we had arrived at the long boat terminal we waited for the rest of the group to arrive, on the day we had a group of 27 people. Emma the tour guide tried her best to keep us all together and on time throughout the day. We had to pay park entrance fee and transfer fee at this time. First stop the cave's for a short kayak around before heading onto James Bond island the main attraction. It was busy, as to be expected, but you could at least get a few photos. A few tacky shops selling knick knacks don't help. Then onto the floating island and lunch (it was cold) probably left without covers before we arrived. After lunch a short time to look around and do a shop, before heading back to the boat terminal, back into your transfer to set off to the temple and monkeys. Could have done with a bit more time on the floating island. Overall time was around 6 hours for the trip taking everything in that was included, a busy day. Well worth it if you have the time.

Great day of beautiful landscape sites! Super value given how much is on the itinerary ! Highly recommend this tour if you’re in Phuket

Pick up and transfer from the hotel to the boat. Then a 45 minute trip to the kayak stop and trip around the cave's. Quick hop over to 'James Bond' island for a photo shoot and paddle or swim your choice. Then onto the floating Muslin village for lunch and a quick look around the shops. Before the longboat back to the pier and transfer to the Budda temple and monkeys.... Overall a good day was had and 'Emma' are guide did well to control the group... Only comment, we could maybe have had a bit longer at the floating village for looking around.

A packed day, first a long boat then a small canoe with an excellent boatman. Taking us under huge rocks into small lagoons, calming and fun, especially when you have to lie right back so you don’t bang your head. Then onto James Bond Island, the floating village, lunch and then the huge monkey cave with the reclining Buddha and lots of monkeys. Great value for money and Emma our guide was excellent as was Mr Kim our driver.

Very nice trip but far away from our hotel Andaman Cannacia Phuket . All the people very kind ! Nice job !

We would highly recommend this trip. Purchased through TripAdvisor, got a great price for the amount of activities, sites, and transportation that was involved. To help others who are considering this trip, we were picked up in the Karon beach area, made a few stops to pick up other couples at other hotels in the area. Then it was a nearly 2 hour trip to our first stop (we did have a restroom stop in that period before reaching the final stop.). At the monkey cave that contains the lying golden Buddha, shoulders must be covered and shorts to the knees are accepted. If you are sleeveless or your shorts are high, we were given a material poncho to wear while in the temple. There are lots of steps and uneven ground so wear shoes that can handle that terrain. We felt the lunch that was offered at Pay-nee at the city on stilts was good. Buffet, all you can eat, any type of soda was extra. James Bond Island was interesting, there are some small shopping booths, again depending on how adventuresome you are, you can climb up into the rock. Final stop was at a kayak canoe operation, which was optional. If you chose to do the kayak, there is someone who does the paddling -maximum of a couple in a boat with the paddler, the cost was ฿100 per couple and you we’re paddled to caves. That lasted about 30 minutes and was enjoyed. Our driver was very good and we had Happy as our guide who was also excellent. Long day, but recommend!

It was an excellent trip, our guide, Happy, was professional, very polite, and patient, all places described were beyond beautiful, love the trip, I will go back in the future.

Brilliant full day trip with visit to limestone temple, longboat trip to Koh Panyee, amazing varied lunch, visit to Tu-Pu (James Bond Island, kayak trip into caves. Excellent value for money. Made even more special by our tour guide "Happy's' knowledge & enthusiasm. Highly recommend.

The experience as a whole was great. The usual Thailand organised chaos tourists cattle experience but was kept to a minimum. Make sure you check the pickup location. I spend an extra 400baht to share a taxi with another couple to travel 35 minutes in the wrong direction, just to spend another two hours on a bus. Total of 800 Baht for a 200 baht journey. Was going to be a similar journey home but abandoned and took a taxi home as really had not prepared for a 12 hour day. Ovér 2 hours in a delapafated bus where the seats would only stay in the fully reclined position was too much. The 250ml of water offererd help a bit. Thank god somebody needed a comfort breat so we could buy more liquid. Trip was not as advertised. No mention of swimming or kayaking so was completely un prepared. To be fair the kayaking was great fun and missing 20 mins in the sea was no great loss. If the organisers were honest about the travel arrangements I would not have booked but we old give it 4 stars if I had known what to expect.

Amazing trip a few added bonuses we wasn’t expecting, The canoeing was lovely each canoe you get on gives you a different experience was is a really nice little touch. The food at the Panyi (panee) was really nice vegetarian option too. Emma our guide was great she was always ok hand to give advice and point you in the right direction for the best spots and food

Tour package was very comprehensive, covering a lot of sites. Lunch quality at the floating village could have been better, but this is understandable due to the discount price that we paid for the tour.

Knowing this places were just amazing, the guide, Happy explained with brief information the most important issues of every spot we stop, even the food we eat. It was wonderful, exited and adventurous to canoing and ride the boat with the group and receiving the warmest welcome from villagers from jungest to grandmothers. I love it!

We had a very pleasant trip with our extended family of 8 people. The longtail boat ride and particularly the canoeing experience was great. Tour guide Emma helped to take some really nice photos of our family during our trip.

Shouldn’t have to pay more money for something that was not specified clearly on the itinerary. The transport was late and it was a 2 hour transfer which was awfu

The trip was very well organized. Like all spots the islands were quite crowded. The organizers were very good and provided a really memorable experience. Our guide Happy was really wonderful.

Very helpful and nice guide , i highly recommend , happy was always careful with everyone . It was such a great experience and a long day with a lot of fun !

We had a great day although the weather was awful,Happy our tour guide was brilliant very informative about all the places we visited
