- Fuel & Emergency Policy: All bookings are based on national fuel rates as of March 17, 2026 (Diesel: 29.94 THB/litre | Gasohol 95: 31.05 THB/litre). Due to the ongoing Strait of Hormuz blockade and the resulting national energy crisis, a mandatory Emergency Fuel Surcharge will be implemented if domestic fuel prices at the pump exceed these base rates by 10% or more on the date of travel. This surcharge is calculated based on speedboat fuel consumption and is payable in cash prior to check-in at the pier. Because these tours are high-speed operations with fixed fuel requirements, no lower-cost boat alternatives are available. In the event of a fuel price spike, customers will be notified of the surcharge amount as soon as possible via WhatsApp or Email. Customers may choose to pay the additional surcharge to maintain their booking or receive a 100% refund of their deposit. Sudden global supply disruptions and government-mandated fuel hikes are considered Force Majeure events; no liability is accepted for cancellations or itinerary changes resulting from these external economic shocks.

I had a great experience on this trip, the pickup was on time, well organized, and professional. All staffs were helpful and treated me well. I enjoyed canoeing into the cave, seeing the beautiful views, taking pictures on James Bond Island, eating a delicious lunch and snacks, and spending time on swimming and canoeing. I definitely recommend you to visit this island for a great time in Phuket, Thailand.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We are thrilled to hear that you had such a great experience on our James Bond Island Big Boat tour. It is fantastic to know that our team’s professionalism and organization made your day easy and enjoyable, starting right from the timely pickup. We are especially glad you enjoyed the canoeing through the caves and taking in the iconic views of James Bond Island—those photo opportunities are truly one-of-a-kind! Our catering team will be happy to hear you enjoyed the lunch and snacks, and it’s great that you had plenty of time to relax with some swimming and extra canoeing. Thank you for the high recommendation to other travelers visiting Phuket. We hope to welcome you back for another beautiful day on the water!
- Beautiful excursion - Everything perfectly arranged - Nice buffet in the afternoon - Very nice guide - Visit James Bond island short but very nice - The 2 canoe trips were great fun as well as swimming
Wat ontzettend leuk om te horen dat je zo’n geslaagde dag hebt gehad tijdens onze James Bond Island Big Boat excursie. We zijn blij dat alles naar wens was geregeld en dat de gids en het team een positieve indruk hebben achtergelaten. Het is geweldig om te lezen dat de kanotochten en het zwemmen hoogtepunten voor je waren. Hoewel het bezoek aan James Bond eiland zelf vaak kort is vanwege de populariteit, zijn we blij dat je de tijd daar als heel mooi hebt ervaren. Ook geven we je complimenten over het lunchbuffet graag door aan ons cateringteam! Nogmaals bedankt voor je bezoek en we hopen je in de toekomst nogmaals aan boord te mogen verwelkomen voor een nieuw avontuur op het water.
This tour far exceeded expectations! I had a wonderful time!
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your experience with us far exceeded your expectations. Our entire team works hard to ensure every guest has a seamless and memorable adventure, so knowing that you had such a fantastic time is the best reward we could ask for. It was a true pleasure having you on board with us. We hope the memories of the beautiful islands stay with you for a long time, and we would be honored to welcome you back for another journey whenever you return to Thailand!
On time hotel pickup, comfortable van/minibus ride to the pier. Small breakfast at the pier. The boat was not fully occupied, so there was enough space for everyone. Beautiful drive through Phang Nga Bay to James Bond Rock, where you switched to a longtail boat that brought you ashore. The James Bond Rock is the least interesting program item for us, totally crowded, very many tourists and nothing special. Afterwards, the very delicious and fully adequate lunch was served on the Ship offered in buffet form. Then we paddled twice, into a Hongsee and through a cave. Finally, a swim stop where you can jump off the ship into the water. Then the nice drive back to the pier. Very nice and helpful staff. My family and I really enjoyed the trip.
Vielen Dank für dieses detaillierte Feedback! Es freut uns sehr, dass Sie und Ihre Familie den Ausflug insgesamt sehr genossen haben und wir Sie mit unserer Organisation – von der pünktlichen Abholung bis hin zum komfortablen Platzangebot an Bord – überzeugen konnten. Es ist interessant zu hören, dass der James Bond Felsen für Sie persönlich der weniger spannende Teil war. Wir wissen, dass dieser Ort sehr touristisch sein kann, weshalb wir versuchen, den Rest des Tages mit Highlights wie dem leckeren Buffet und den Paddel-Touren durch die Höhlen und den Hong-See so abwechslungsreich wie möglich zu gestalten. Schön, dass Ihnen gerade diese Naturerlebnisse und der Badestopp so gut gefallen haben! Ein großes Dankeschön auch für das Lob an unser Team. Wir geben die netten Worte gerne an die Crew weiter. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wieder einmal bei uns an Bord begrüßen zu dürfen!
Awesome from start to finish❤️❤️❤️ The guys are very professional and nice. We had a wonderful time. Traveled with a 3 year old and a 7 year old and had a blast! The best ending for 2025. THANK YOU WITH ALL MY HEART! ❤️
It truly warms our hearts to read your wonderful review! We are so honored that you chose to spend the end of 2025 with us, and knowing that it was an "awesome start to finish" experience is the best news we could receive. We are especially happy to hear that your 3-year-old and 7-year-old had a blast! We know that traveling with young children requires a little extra care, and our professional team loves making sure our youngest adventurers feel safe and happy throughout the day. It sounds like you created some truly beautiful family memories to carry into the new year. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your kindness and for sharing your energy with us. We wish your family a fantastic start to 2026 and hope to see you all back on the water again soon!
Amazing scenery, well organized, great combination of activities and an island at the end to relax. The stuff was friendly and polite and when a friend of the group got a small injury, they immediately helped her in the best way possible. I highly recommend this tour! Amazing experience and unforgettable memories!
