Fantastic afternoon sailing aboard a beautiful yacht and seeing James Bond Island. We had a canoe ride through the caves, and a beautiful sunset dinner on board the yacht. Friendly staff made us feel right at home.

Itinerary
Fans of the James Bond series will enjoy the historical connection to the iconic spy film. The island became famous after its appearance in "The Man with the Golden Gun," starring Roger Moore as James Bond. The dramatic cliffs of Koh Tapu, combined with the surrounding natural beauty, made it the perfect backdrop for the movie’s action scenes
The centerpiece of Hong Island is its hidden lagoon (also called Hong Lagoon), which is only accessible by boat through a narrow opening between towering limestone cliffs. Once inside, you’ll be surrounded by lush greenery and calm, turquoise waters. The serene atmosphere and dramatic surroundings make it one of the most peaceful and visually striking spots in the region.

A nice relaxed and comfortable trip The staff were excellent at every point, the taxi ride, the staff on board, the lovely canoe guide, everyone and everything was too notch and well worth paying that little bit extra for.
This tour was fantastic!!! The Captain & Crew was very friendly and attentive. The itinerary was perfect. We were very pleased with the entire trip. I would recommend you bring your own flip flops when you’re walking James Bond island.
Boat was clean and spacious. The boat was well stocked with cold drink (could use a little more variety in terms of alcoholic drinks for the ladies). The food was also very tasty. The boat ride is very relaxing and the return leg with the sunset was sublime. It is quite a long trip but we enjoyed every moment on the yacht. Thank you to the great crew.
The day started off a bit in auspicious. We were told it was a five minute walk from the ship, it was more like a 12 to 15 minute walk on a very, very happy in the day. Then when we got picked up by the driver, he was in a van. I ended up in the front seat and the whole floor was littered with about 8 to 10 inches of miscellaneous trash and items. Partway through the trip. I moved my foot and felt something sliced under my foot between my foot and my sandal. I looked down to see a square piece of metal. Has it with very sharp edges. Luckily I only have a scrape on the bottom of my foot but I could’ve had my foot slid wide open, which would’ve ruined my whole expensive trip. Then the driver was on his phone talking, and then watching either movies or YouTube videos. When he saw me looking at him doing so he finally got off the phone. He was actually doing this while passing other vehicles. Didn’t make me feel too safe to say at least. Then, for some reason, he dropped us at a random store that had no air-conditioning and had some cushions and told us we needed to wait there for 40 minutes. None of us were quite sure why we were waiting 40 minutes of our tour to do nothing. It seemed very random and odd. Once we were on the boat, it was very nice. The staff on the boat was lovely. The boat seemed to go extremely slow, however, and usually when you’re on that type of boat, you get a little speed so you can have a little bit of the thrill in a little bit of cool this. But we seem to go at the slowest speed possible. We really love the part where you get off the boat and climb into the kayak/canoe and they take you through some tunnels in the cliffs. It was very beautiful. We were lucky we got done with that exactly when we did because we had a huge downpour. The food that they gave us was very delicious and the views were gorgeous. They just need to find tune. The people that are driving their clients around because the one that drove us had no business doing so. I actually texted the people to complain about our ride there and they assured me that he had spoken to him about the rules for driving it. However, when he picked us up, I think the same mess was still in the front seat area.
Tour booked under the understanding it was 5 hours in duration. It was 8.5 hours. Travelling with my elderly mother - we missed a prepaid meal as a result and would never have booked the trip had we known. People who had booked with get your guide were clear of the full tour information. Raised concerns and told by the company no refund so we were forced to join the trip. Several days later trip changed in booking app saying 7 hours in duration. Unscrupulous company ! Staff on board helpful with my elderly mother but they tried to introduce an insurance disclaimer AFTER booking! Email sent to Viator no response I am writing to raise a formal complaint regarding the tour I booked through Viator in Thailand. The tour was advertised at the time of booking as 5 hours, but in reality it lasted 8.5 hours, which is a significant and material difference. Because of the extended duration, we missed a prepaid meal at our hotel, resulting in financial loss and disruption to our plans. I have screenshots of the original listing clearly showing the 5‑hour duration. I have also noticed that the listing in my app has since been changed to 7 hours, which confirms that the original information was inaccurate at the time of booking. Under UK consumer protection law, services must be as described at the point of purchase. The tour I received was not as described, and the subsequent alteration of the listing further supports this. I am therefore requesting a partial refund to reflect: • The tour being significantly longer than advertised • The financial loss incurred from missing our prepaid hotel meal • The misrepresentation of the service at the time of booking I would appreciate this being reviewed again, taking into account the evidence I have provided and the fact that the service delivered did not match the description I relied upon when making the booking. I look forward to your prompt resolution.
Sensationell organisierte Tour mit very friendly Peoples
Quite a long day but worth it for the experience we had - Coco and his team looked after us all very well and we had a brilliant day - the Yacht was fabulous we felt like film stars - lovely food provided
Great fun. Very few tourists. Food was only average. The meeting spot is far from Patong. There are onboard bathrooms but the toilets are not great. The operators were really cool. Overall, very good. We would do it again. It was very photogenic.
Enjoyable, comfortable boat ride to see truly stunning geological formations. The stop at "James Bond Island" was interrupted by a significant thunderstorm, but we had fun sheltering in the caves. Kayaking experience was also unique and worthwhile, though it was cut a bit short due to the delay caused by the rain. Getting on and off the boat for JBI and the kayaking requires some dexterity, so you need to be in reasonable shape and not intimidated by a bit of tightrope walking! Also note that Phuket is a large island, so transfer times to the dock can be long. We were more than 1 hour each way from the Hyatt Regency.
super good guide coco we have on board. super nice and nice trip, the staff were super nice and the kayak part was also a really good experience. if you had to put your finger on something you should probably be prepared that it is not a swimming trip but more of an adventure trip we did not get out in some places to swim in the sea (maybe due to safety reasons?) I don't know but we think it might have been a bit hot a whole day on a boat without a dip
We booked this last minute and we're super impressed with the entire experience. We were picked up from our hotel, taken to the meeting point and treated so well for the entire day. The staff all were so welcoming and truly enjoy their jobs. Coco was the main guide and was excellent 👌 they truly all work so hard for very little. The food was also very fresh and delicious. We had fruit and small sandwiches, lots of bottled water (brews for 100 Bhat) upon hopping on the boat. We later had sushi, fruit and more snacks in the later afternoon then dinner was served on the trip home after visiting Hong Island and JB island. The dinner was so yummy - chicken and veg skewers, veggies, fresh shrimp, desert. We were stuffed. The sunset and chill vibes made the last day of our trip. The luxury yacht was very nice with lots of seating inside and out. Be mindful this ends up being closer to a 10 hour day with pick up/drop off. All in all a great experience and would highly recommend.
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 😎
Excellent! Taxi pick up to and from hotel . Stunning boat ride from AO Po pier to 007 island for a brief swim . Then on to Kong island for canoe trip into the caves and lagoon. Food and drink available throughout the trip with dinner served just after sunset. Return to pier and taxis waiting to take us back to the hotel . Advertised as half day trip ( afternoon) but we were picked up at noon and arrived back at hotel around 8.15 pm . A little more expensive than some other similar trips but included the National Park etc . Overall a great day and excellent value 👍😊
This was an amazing tour!! Spectacular scenery. Very comfortable boat. Coco was a wonderful tour guide - engaging and informative!! The rest of the staff (including the captain who took picture with any who washed!) were warm and helpful If you have doubts about the canoeing - do it!! The canoe guides were wonderful and the cafes not to be missed!! Make sure you bring your camera on the canoe! Snacks were plentiful (including sushi in the afternoon) and the dinner at sunset was really beautiful.
This was a really well organised trip. The boat was very comfortable, with a choice of sitting in an air conditioned section or sitting on deck in the sunshine or in the shade. I’m nearly 70 and was worried about transferring from the large boat into the small boats which took us to James Bond Island, but managed ok with the help of the crew. Dinner was very tasty and there was plenty of it. A highlight of our time in Thailand.
Was an awesome tours and the tour guide coco was very experienced made everyone happy No shortage of food Spent 1 hr on each island with canoeing around Would do again
Absolutely LOVE this tour and the crew! They fed us well and kept us hydrated with endless water and sodas. The most enjoyable was the serene canoe ride past and through caves! Asma was a great yacht master and so sweet! I whole heartedly recommend this crew and tour!
The yacht is clean, staff incredible, the views absolutely breathtaking. My only complaint is we had a group onboard that broke every rule and the staff said nothing. They refused life jackets, they vaped around children, they put toilet paper in the toilet and took the entire front of the top deck by refusing to move all of their bags. It looked like they were camping.. All of these things were clearly forbidden. I wish the staff had said something because word spreads quickly about lax rules and that’s what ruins formerly great tours. Don’t get me wrong, as disappointing as that was it did not diminish the fabulous time we all had, it just proved that rules mean nothing unless enforced.
It was excellent. Nice welcome at their meeting place. We enjoyed it. Good food, good service. The yacht was comfortable and clean. They offered delicious food all day long.
Awesome experience! Staff was great and took care of everything! Canoe experience in Hong Island was the highlight for us!
Very good experience , good organisation i recommend it to all. I would like to thank Mr COCO and all members
Well organized, plenty of food, not crowded. The staff was very nice to me and my family. We felt VIP.
Great experience from the pickup to dropoff at our hotel. Shuttle was clean and on time. Then we waited at their gift shop/lounge that had free coffee/tea/water, and small snacks. The tshirts were very good quality for price, but make sure you buy before the boat as we did not go back there after the boat and I wish I could have purchased one of their tshirts after. The boat and activities were well coordinated and extremely fun+relaxing. Having free soft drinks in the boat was an added plus, and the food was better than expected. Finally, the staff was so welcoming and went above and beyond to make sure people were enjoying themselves. They even sang us a song at the end ❤️
This trip is more about the journey than the destination. James Bond Island is a bit boring, I'm not a James Bond fan. You get off see the beach he was filmed at and take a picture. That's it. The Hong Island cave tour in a canoe was fun although very busy. The yacht was comfortable, it was enjoyable just lying back and enjoying the view. The snacks and dinner were very nice. We were well looked after.
Lively crew and good English speaking crew. Lots of space for move around on the boat pre ordered vegetarian food was delicious and in good quantity.
Such an amazing trip, well organised and the staff were fantastic, the boat is also very clean and modern
We went on this cruise with high expectations being sold as a luxury cruise. However the experience was disappointing and underwhelming. The yatch was crowded with too many people. There was no space on the upper deck for our group of 4 to sit, and the lower deck smelled of diesel fumes with no view. The toilet flush were not working and upon pointing this out the crew just shrugged helplessly. There were only fruits for vegetarians despite 7 people on board being vegetarians. I understand that they do not keep any veg options unless ordered in advance. However there was no form asking us our food preference in advance so it's a bit too much to expect us to order veg food in advance. Given the number of indians who travel to thailand by now these operators must be aware of the issue but choose to turn a blind eye since it is more convenient to just not ask, and it doesn't matter if the customers have to survive on only fruits for the 5 hour cruise. The Bond island is very normal and can be skipped, certainly not worth the 8 hours of total time (including transit). The water caves were beautiful and were the highlight of the tour. Highly disappointed and would want my money refunded given that they charged upwards of USD 100 per pax for the trip. For a group of 4, that is USD400 plus a whole day spent hungry!!
Absolute awesome experience, even with a bit of rain the vibes were great. The whole crew was so wonderful, attentive, and helpful
Amazing day, omg! Grand Lucury yacht MUST I ADD! Food was so good I ate twice!!! Amazing team!! Amazing people! My third cruise here but this tops all of them !!
It was a really fun experience - the two islands we went to were so nice and everyone was extremely kind too! The yacht itself was very clean and very spacious and beautiful! The food provided was also amazing and so delicious 🥰🥰
Such a great experience, very lovely staff and good food aswell! I would 100% recommend for anyone who wants a more private tour
What an amazing experience! Everything was thoughtfully planned out and convenient! From hotel pickup to great service on board, it is overall a wonderful thing to do.
Excellent day. Great boat. Amazing scenery and islands that look from another planet. Staff really helpful on the boat and decent pick up and drop off from our hotel. Food and drink on board also good and all you need. A must do trip when in Phuket
Fantastic experience lovely people great food gorgeous boat. We had beautiful weather and boat wasn’t too packed
Amazing trip Thank you for this amazing experience and special thank you for ariel 🙏❤️ The whole team took really good care of everyone Definitely will come back!
It was an amazing cozy trip. We enjoyed our time,seeing wonderful mountains with greenish different trees. It's a lifetime memory we'll remember.
Everything was amazing from the luxury yacht until personal. Personal was very friendly, professional and helpful. The program was awesome. We are so thankful for good emotions. We highly recommend to others.
The driver arrived 45 minutes late to pickup me in the hotel. So I arrived late to the boat and the tour started later. ……….
Everything was an amazing, I'm here for my honeymoon and I definitely made the right choice! The food was great too. The staff are amazing
Amazing experience . Lots of photos and memories . A must do for any visitor to Phuket. The crew were very friendly and helpful
Just wow! What an unforgettable yacht experience in the stunning waters of Phuket. From the crystal-clear sea to the breathtaking island views, every moment felt like a dream. The crew was exceptional—attentive, friendly, and made sure everything was perfect. The food, the music, the sunset… pure bliss. Thank you for making this one of the most memorable days of our trip. Can’t wait to sail these waters again! ⛵💙
Good trip with good staff thank you Yacht Master for everything , i feel enjoyed and happy with the activities also its good price for yacht to enjoy.
Something different rather than just island hopping. The food is good. But if youve already dine the island hopping, no need to do this one already. Almost the same.
Beautiful boat with plenty of space. Food was amazing and friendly staff. Thank you! Would recommend for couples, families or solo travelers.
The views were amazing the food was tasty and the whole team was so accommodating. Excellent service and a perfect day trip! Thank you for such an amazing experience!
Great trip. The staff was so friendly. Highly recommend!. The canoe trip from the boat was beautiful. I went with my family and they loved it!
Had a nice trip the crew was great. Only downfall are the smokers and having to breath in their smoke even though they went to the back of the boat. The food was ok warm at best but it was good.
Best trip on my whole Thailand adventure! The crew was great. The amenities were good. The sights were breathtaking and the yacht was awesome.
the tour guides are very helpful and friendly. the food onboard was nice and good selection. the tour itself was a lovely day out- even in the rain! thanks
