Phuket Sunset Big Boat Trip To Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island

The second time we have been with this company 10 years apart and just as good as last time Plenty of cool drinks and food the whole time Guides were all lovely and helpful The places where we went were great without all the hundreds of tourists at the same place

The best trip and best value. Amazing staff, amazing food. Full day of fun. I’ve done this tour three times and it’s worth it every time

Absolutely amazing tour. Even though the weather wasn't the best, we still had a wonderful day with Phuket Sail Tours. The crew did an amazing job making sure everyone had a great experience despite the conditions. One of the highlights was the food. Freshly cooked on board, it was a delicious smorgasbord of Thai dishes with plenty of variety and flavour. It was far beyond what we expected from a day tour. This wasn't my first tour with Phuket Sail Tours, but this time we brought family along with us. It was wonderful to see them enjoy the experience as much as we did. The relaxed atmosphere, beautiful scenery, and outstanding hospitality made for a memorable day for all of us. A big thank you to Captain Mark and the entire crew for another fantastic day on the water. We highly recommend Phuket Sail Tours and look forward to sailing with you again in the future.

So happy we booked this cruise thru Phuket Sail Tours! Unlike the other companies' boats that were packed with people, Captain Mark and his awesome crew keep their guest numbers smaller for a better experience. Typically 12-15 per cruis but we lucked out and got the whole boat to ourselves! The crew was amazing (our tour guide Anna, cook Cyndi, and paddleman Mei Mei among others) were great. The customer service was tremendous.. they kept the boat clean, put up shelter when it briefly rained, and you could just tell they wanted us to have the best experience. And the food.. wow, they just kept it coming.. lunchtime snacks (local fruit, fries, wings, eggrolls) and a freshly cooked dinner (grilled snapper, coconut curry, rice, salad, fried veggies). Highyl recommend!! Price was amazing for a small semi-private experience. Look at the rest but get this one if you can!

This tour was the highlight of our trip. Booking was done quickly and without hassle. Very personalised service, we got to see places the other big boats didn't go. The boat isn't overbooked like some of the other tours on offer. We enjoyed every minute and will book again when we return to phuket.

If you can do this tour, do not miss out on it. As a person in my 70s I was skeptical about the canoe and rowing, but just like it’s advertise I had my own guide who was phenomenal. The landscape, the caves, the lagoons, oh my gosh can’t say enough don’t miss this tour!!!

It was so much fun. The caves were awesome. Our paddle men were great. Joe was a great host. The food was delicious

We did the sunset boat tour of Phang Nga bay. The boat is very comfortable with only 12 people on board that day - so plenty of space . The crew was very helpful and did their best to make sure everyone had a great time. They provided vegetarian food which was much appreciated given that we had lunch and dinner on board. This is a great tour to do when in Phuket

You will love this tour! One of the best boat tours we have been on. The staff, make this tour exceptional! Our tour guide Tom was very knowledgeable about the areas we stopped at. Our canoe rower Alex made sure we had an excellent experience going through the caves and he was always pointing out wildlife we would have missed without his keen eye. He took time to help us get some amazing photos. Thanks Alex! The scenery you will see is absolutely stunning. The food was plentiful and good. We enjoyed a beautiful sunset and after it got dark we went back to Panak Island and looked at the bioluminescent plankton. Every part of this tour was a treat and a wonderful memory we will treasure forever.

Pregnant friendly arrangement, as long as you can manage a full day activity. Very beautiful trip.

Great people, something you don’t find everyday. From the first contact by email everything was smooth, captain Mark, the boss, gave us any explanation on activities without being pushy. We booked two tours, the phi phi island sunset tour and Phang Nga bay sunset tour, the second coming with a discount. From pick up at the hotel to the tours everything was outstanding, they provide anything you need, gear , food, beverages, and most important their knowledge of the places. And then the fantastic thailand set makes the difference. TO BE HIGHLIGHTED: they tend to not have many guests on the boats so you don’t feel pressed, allowing to relax on board and creating a nice feeling prone to chat among guests. Being a local business, Mark is an australian living in Thailand from a long time and all the other people working are Thai , all the money goes to locals and they deserve it. Overall great value for money, the two tours were the highlights of our 10-days-holiday in Phuket.

Amazing tour , to the most beautiful places , run by simply the best people, Our tour had 7 people total , Alex our paddle man was hilarious, thoughtful and informative, the boat boss Anna , funny caring and fantastic at his job. THE FOOD, the best we had all week in Thailand . Captain mark , thank you for doing all the hard work and putting this tour together, your people , are an absolute pleasure and credit to you mate.

We had so much fun! The staff was super accommodating and well organized. My paddler fella, Alex, was the best. The bioluminescent plankton is so cool. We also saw eagles, jellyfish, bats, sparkly rocks... The food was good and those lagoons are magical. Highly recommend this tour!

Family outing to celebrate a family members 80th birthday. It was a fantastic experience from start to finish. The crew were excellent and we went to several different areas as well as James Bond island. The staff did the kayaking in the different areas although you could kayak yourself if you chose to. Nothing was too much trouble. Highlights were kayaking into some of the inner islands and the sunset and scenery as well as the delicious food. They were able to cater for a vegetarian, preparing the most delicious massaman tofu I have ever tasted. Would highly recommend

This is the way - great crew & food. They don’t overcrowd the boat - maybe about 20 people total. Captain does a great job keeping us safe and getting us to these heavily touristed locations at times when they’re pretty quiets

Our 3rd trip with Phuket Sail Tours. They are simply the best. We had a fantastic afternoon /evening on this trip. Everything is so well organised. Never overcrowded. You're treated to wonderful snacks, fruit, fried chicken & drinks, just help yourself, all included. We had a delicious meal onboard also, all cooked fresh, plenty of choice, & good portions. Kayaking into the caves was amazing, we also had a stop off for a lovely swim, & after dinner back in the kayaks to find the bioluminescent plankton which was amazing. Can't wait to come again.

Mark and his crew really know how to put on a hospitable and memorable travel experience. Mark and the entire crew were patient, accommodating and really made us feel comfortable as we experienced the caves, James Bond Island, the sunset dinner and the bio plankton. A special mention goes out to our paddle-man. I wish I knew his name but he was excellent. He even went the extra mile and picked up my daughter and carried her through the deepest part of the cave. Thank you! The other person I wish I knew his name was the one who called the bio plankton: “bling “bling”. He was funny and very informative. The snacks and the sunset meal were all excellent. The food really exceeded our expectations and Cindy is an excellent chef! The boat was spacious and really felt comfortable for the 20 plus 1 child tourists on this cruise. Everything was excellent. If I had to pick one thing to criticize it would probably be this one small thing: their email emphasized we HAD to be at our pickup point by 12-12:10 as that’s the time our ride will arrive and we could understandably be left behind as that’s not fair to other guests. Our ride ended up arriving at 12:20 pm therefore they were late. Again, this is a small detail overall as we had an amazing experience and we would highly recommend this excursion and company to everyone! It was worth every penny spent! We would definitely travel with them again!

Went on the James Bond sunset tour last night and it was amazing. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. They were so good with our children (aged 7 & 10). One of the staff called the eagles down from the cliffs using a whistle and it was incredible to witness. The food was absolutely incredible and plenty of it. Homemade lemongrass soup and chicken curry were beautiful. There was unlimited soda, water, iced coffee and chocolate bars. It was my son’s birthday today and the staff surprised him with a birthday cake which was such a special added addition. Would recommend a million times. Thank you 🙏

Phuket Sail Tours was absolutely brilliant for my mum’s 70th birthday. The sunset cruise was unanimously rated as the best day of the year by our entire family group of 30 — which says it all. The crew were outstanding: friendly, professional, and genuinely attentive throughout the trip. The food was delicious, the service seamless, and the locations we visited were truly mind-blowing. Watching the sunset in such a beautiful setting made the experience unforgettable. I honestly can’t recommend Phuket Sail Tours highly enough — a perfect way to celebrate a special occasion and create lifelong memories.

It was a great experience, everyone was so welcoming and really went out of their way to make it a really memorable experience! I would definitely recommend. They made food especially for our dietary requirements!

100 out of 10 experience! Absolutely a must if you are visiting Phuket! Small group of people (10 people) was awesome compared to the multiple big tour companies that had 40-50 people on it that we passed by. MiMi was our expert paddle man who made the trip for us (he should be a professional photographer). We visited sooo many cool islands, secret lagoons, James Bond Island, and saw bioluminescent planktons. I cannot express in words how much fun we had. Oh, and the food was top rated! Captain Mark and his staff know what they are doing

Had the absolute best day on the James Bond Sunset tour! Phuket Sail Tours provided excellent service - the boat was our of Phuket but we were staying in Phang Nga and so they helped arrange transportation for us at a reasonable fee. Our tour guide, Anna, was fantastic! He was extremely knowledgeable about all of our locations and timed things perfectly so we were never in an area that was extremely crowded. They provided us with plenty of food and drink as well. the Tom Kha Gai was the best we've ever had! The boat was clean and the bathrooms were good. My husband got ill at the end of the evening while on the boat trip back and the staff were all so kind and helped take care of him. We were both very grateful for the attention that they provided him. This trip is a must if you are going to be in the Phuket or Phang Nga.

A big thank you to Anada and all staff and crew for a fantastic day on this tour. Everything was excellent from the pickup at our hotel to the delicious meals (prepared on the boat), and the canoeing and sightseeing. We had 13 family members with a range of ages from 1 to 70, and this trip is suitable for all ages.

10 STARS - Simply amaxing trip. With a max of 20 pax this trip does not get crowded and you do not spend time in queues. It is not only about James Bond Island. We did several stops and were canoed around and saw amazing hidden lagoons. The stops are flexible to aviod the crowds. The food was nothing but excellent. Captain Mark and his crew were very friendly, helpful and informative. This trip is a bit more expensive but is worth the money. We are just sad we did not book the Phi Phi trip here as well. Ordering the trip online was very easy to do. Cheers from the crazy-photoshoot-women from Denmark :-)

From start to finish this was the best holiday experience ever. Mark and Joky were super responsive to email queries. Transport was on time and we set sail on the big boat with only another four passengers a lovely family from Sydney. After a light lunch we canoed, swam, saw the ‘bling bling’ caves and lagoons, walked James Bond island and canoed in bioluminescent plankton. Ana our guide and Mi Mi (sorry if names are not spelt correctly) were fabulous. I’m new to sea canoes and never once felt unsafe. The chef surpassed herself. Dinner on board was spectacular! We could not recommend Phuket Sail Tours more highly.

This was one of the best one day boat trips we have taken anywhere in the world. It is really MUCH more than a "sunset cruise" as we departed around 1:30PM, traveled to Phang Nga Bay, saw beautiful scenary, took 3 different "chauffeurred" canoe trips into and through caves (one after the sunset) that led to isolated lagoons, stopped to have a swim break, visited, James Bond Island, etc. We returned 7 hours later but the time really flew by for my entire family. The crew was awesome. Our canoe chauffuers were very attentive and a lot of fun. The food was oustanding. Highly recommend Phuket Sail Tours.

This is my second time with Phuket Sail Tours, we decided to try canoes and explore caves and lagoons. It is so different from what we saw during Phi Phi island tour, we really loved it. The crew was friendly and helpful and we were taken to places without tourists so we could take beautiful pictures. Thank you, one more time, for unforgettable day.

Captain Jack is very knowledgeable and experienced! My husband and I had an amazing day! The archipelago islands are incredible! The water is a beautiful green! The lunch and dinner provided on the boat are fabulous! Water shoes would be best because you have to climb in and out of a canoe several times to enter the caves. What an experience!

Book in advance as the tour gets booked up. We couldn't go on the day we wanted and had to settle to go the day before we flew home. It's a little pricey but I felt we didn't experience crowds of people like I saw on other boats. It was a nice feeling when we sailed past a crowded speed boat that was jumping along the water. I'm so glad we didn't get that! We were picked up from our hotel in Karon, we made another 2 stops for other guests, then was in the car about an hour before we got to the meet point. We were offered fruit, water and other snacks while we waited to begin. The boat is spacious with sheltered options. The tour felt like it flew by with equal amounts of sailing time and activity time. Many photo opportunities. Getting in and out of the canoes is a practice and not really suitable for anyone with mobility needs. You don't always have to get in a canoe and I opted out of one the stops and stayed on the boat. The food on the boat was lovely and we couldn't get enough of the red thai chicken currie! Sea shoes are 100% recommended (or you can buy them there, unsure of the cost) as well as swimming wear under clothes, even if you don't plan on swimming. We had choppy waves while canoeing to the James bond island and I got soaked and wasn't wearing swimming wear. Meant the next part of the trip I was uncomfortable but I brought a towel which is another must. We weren't allowed to swim either due to the choppy waves. Only down side to our tour was the amount of children on the boat. Would be great to have an adults only option. If we come back to Phuket, will 100% book another tour. Many thanks

Travel to and from the boat trip was longer than expected - an hour and a half each way from Kata Beach with one pick up in Patong. Made it a very long day indeed! Boat trip itself was amazing. Thoroughly recommend it. Guide was very knowledgeable and all staff friendly and eager to help. Canoe adventures were great and good that each canoe was paddled by staff. We had just the 2 of us in our canoe and only 8 of us on the trip in total. Food on boat for lunch and dinner was really good with most tastes catered for. Soft drinks and water available any time for free and beer at a price. Whole day was well planned, organised and slick.

We loved our adventure with Phuket Sail Tours. We were traveling with our two year old and we were worried about a long day on the boat but the boat was spacious, safe and calm, plenty of beautiful stops along the way and plenty of food, snacks and drinks. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable. Our paddle man yoyo was amazing and was so took extra care of us all. Definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Thailand.

Great trip from start to finish! The team really look after you and are 100% committed to giving you the best experience. The boat had plenty of space, not overcrowded at all like some we saw. Opportunities to see some fabulous scenery in the canoes and on the boat. Food was excellent and I was able to bring a bottle of wine to enjoy! James Bond Island was the highlight for me as a fan of the old Roger Moore films and I loved that they had guns on the ship for you to pose with. We were also fortunate to see the bioluminescent plankton. Transfers were on time and smooth. If you book this trip you will have an amazing time!

Well Organised Tour...... Good service and friendly staff....... beautiful locations.. highly recommended..

We loved this trip! The entire team was so lovely and they were great with our kids. Everything was taken care of, food was delicious and the activities were well organised. Boat wasn’t too full either which felt more relaxing. The scenery was so beautiful and going through the caves felt a little magical. One highlight wS definitely when they called the sea eagles, at one point we counted over 20 flying around the boat!!! Highly recommend

Went on the trip with family (8 of us - 5 adults & 3 kids - aged 2, 4 & 8). Luckily we had the boat all to ourselves. We informed 'Captain Jack' (who owned the boat) that our 8 year old had a nut allergy and he couldn't be accommodating enough. All the staff on the boat were so friendly. Enjoyed the trip immensely and all the caves we went to visit. Would definitely recommend.

I cannot recommend this cruise more highly. I booked this before I left Australia and the communication and service could not be faulted. The day was amazing. Only a small group tour so each guest is treated like a king or queen. The canoeing guides are amazing and our guide Mi Mi was informative and entertaining, he really made our day. I was nervous going into caves, however he made us feel safe and maximised the experience by stopping to take photos of us and pointing out interesting features of the caves along the way. Captain Jack and the crew were fun, informative and could not do more for everyone on the boat. The food is AMAZING! Cooked fresh on the boat and delicious. This particular cruise is great if you want to experience James Bond Island and the cave canoeing once the crowds have disappeared. You have the place all to yourselves with only a few boats left in the evening. Thank you so much Captain Jack and your gang for giveing us a great holiday experience. Jackie and Terry.

Excellent trip. Great fun being canoed through caves into mangrove bays and over to James Bond Island. Lovely scenery and great crew with lots of soft drinks and great meal cooked on the boat. Didn’t get back until it was dark. Really felt we’d had a fantastic day. Definitely would recommend. 😀

We booked this trip for our family of 4. My son fell ill and so we were unable to make the original scheduled date. However, Mark very kindly rescheduled our trip. He was so kind and approachable. We were extremely grateful for the professional and quality of service we experienced. When we got on the trip the kayak staff were amazing! They took shots of our family in the kayaks and were helpful in aiding us on and off the kayaks at each destination. Mark and Lisa were amazing hosts. Nothing was too much trouble for them. Captain Mark allowed our sons to drive the boat - an unforgettable experience for both of them. The sea eagles were magical. It was my birthday during our visit and Lisa very kindly brought out a surprise cake during our trip! They were such a kind couple and made the trip a memorable one for all on board. The food was delicious and fresh. All the staff were incredible! Do not hesitate to book with this fantastic company! Thank you once again Mark and Lisa for an unforgettable and relaxing trip!

This was a great day, max 20 on board, it is a long day, about 10 hours door to door with Phuket traffic over 2 hours return and then couple hours to and from sights on the boat, all the staff were great, Jack our host for the day made a real effort with everyone, including some bad jokes😂, the buffet dinner was so good and the ladies in the kitchen such good fun, I am not sure of their other tours but this was worth doing, remember you are noit the only people visiting these spots so can overlap with other tours, they seemed to cater for the changing tides and different caves access.

Excellent trip if you want calm, serene, and beauty all at the same time. Wonderful company. Excellent food is served throughout the day.

Wear water shoes not flip flops. You will be in and out of canoes all the time. No snorkeling for this one. But crew is good and food on the boat was great. Alcohol is not free. We had great time exploring hidden coves

Full day adventure for sure, the initial boat ride is about an hour but lots of incredible sights to see during the ride, crew was great and on top of everything. Entire day was well organized. James Bond Island was great but the bat cave and luminescent plankton cave wasn't far behind for amazing. Dinner was good and they make sure you have lots of drinks all day so you stay hydrated.

Loved the sight seeing on this tour, the James Bond island is beautiful and you get your own personal boat rider to enter the caves! Very fulfilling experience.

We had an awesome day! So unique and quieter places so we avoided most of the tourists. Lots of kayaking (but you don’t paddle) & swimming if you want. Our guide/captain was informative, helpful and fun. The food was great and they catered for different catering needs. Highly recommend!

The staff on the boat are really friendly and helpful especially Jack. Very funny guy. You have plenty of drinks and the food was amazing. I didn't like the kayak bit so I only saw one island. James Bond Island was so small compared to the ones around it. You get the chance to swim to cool off and watch the sunset.

The tour was one of the highlights of my trip to Thailand. The tour was beautiful, on a special day, with perfect weather and a full moon. The crew on the boat could not have been more attentive, and the food offered was also very good. It was worth every penny.

Going later we avoided the crowds and the boat was small and not crowded. The highlight was the canoes and going through all the caves and lagoons which were virtually empty. We also had a great dinner and the crew were fantastic.

We had a wonderful time with Captain Jack and his very courteous and attentive crew. All the sights they took us to were incredible, once in a life time experiences. They took care of all the details. Group was small and we made some new friends also. Plenty of food and drinks (beers extra) and wonderful dinner. They had vegetarian options as well. Make sure to wear something that you are willing to get wet and wear sandals or water shoes as you may need to walk thru some sticky mud a bit. Totally worth it!!
