It was a good experience visiting 5 different islands. Wish phi phi island was also included in the tour.
Thank you so much for the review and for sharing your experience with us! We are very glad to hear that you had a good time exploring the five different islands on this itinerary. Phang Nga Bay and the famous James Bond Island offer a truly unique landscape with stunning limestone cliffs, caves, and emerald waters. Because the Phi Phi Islands are located in a completely different direction and further south from Phuket, it is unfortunately not possible to combine both destinations into a single day trip without rushing through the experience. For your next adventure, we would love to welcome you on board our dedicated speedboat tour to Phi Phi and Maya Bay so you can experience those beautiful islands and snorkeling spots as well! Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to see you back on the water soon.
Absolutely incredible trip, I’d highly recommend this experience. Brilliant staff, excellent lunch and of course incredible scenery
Thank you so much for the fantastic review and for highly recommending your experience with us! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your island-hopping trip was nothing short of incredible. Our staff works incredibly hard to ensure every guest feels well looked after, so hearing your kind words about our brilliant crew is the ultimate reward. We are also delighted that you enjoyed the delicious lunch buffet and, of course, the breathtaking tropical scenery that makes this part of Phuket so special. Thank you for choosing us for your adventure on the water. It was an absolute pleasure having you on board, and we hope to welcome you back for another seamless, unforgettable day in the future!
Ken was really nice and personable. He came up to me and we started chatting about the islands we were seeing and pointed out some cool shaped islands. He also helped take photos of me without me asking. Overall one of the most fun tours I’ve been on.
Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your journey to James Bond Island was one of the most fun tours you’ve ever been on. Our guide Ken will be so incredibly happy to read your kind words. He loves sharing his knowledge about the unique rock formations and islands of Phang Nga Bay, and we are so glad his friendly personality and proactive photo-taking helped make your day special. It’s those personal connections that turn a great tour into an unforgettable one! Thank you for choosing us for your island-hopping adventure. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you back on board for more fun in Phuket soon!
If you like pumping Euro trash music on the boat, being abandoned on a couple of beaches for an hour, and joining queues of other tourists to see James Bond island then this is for you. Best part was canoeing through the caves.
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the canoeing through the caves, as it truly is one of the most unique and beautiful parts of the Phang Nga Bay experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the music and the time spent at the beach stops. We aim to create a lively and fun atmosphere on board, but we understand that musical tastes vary, and we will certainly take your feedback into account. Regarding the stops, we try to balance the active parts of the tour with time to relax, but we hear your point that you would have preferred more time exploring and less time on the beach. Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island are world-famous locations that attract many visitors, and while we do our best to manage our timing to avoid the busiest periods, some crowds are often unavoidable. Thank you again for your input, as it helps us understand how we can better balance the experience for all our guests. We hope that despite these points, the beauty of the caves remains a great memory of your time in Phuket.
This was a great day of island hopping! The highlight for me was kayaking through the caves and seeing the James Bond Island!! Our guides were really great and a lot of fun!! We had lunch at the floating Muslim Island community, which was delicious and the island is very interesting - all of the structures are floating, including their soccer pitch! Just wild!! Our guides got us to the walking cave early, so we were the first boat there and able to walk through the cave without anyone there. Walking back through, the other boats had arrived, so there were other people. But it didn’t detract from the beauty of the caves and actually gave additional light source for some great pictures. Canoeing through the other caves was a real treat! Such beautiful areas! I wish we’d had more time there. James Bond Island really is a beautiful location! There are quite a few people and some shopping stalls, so I highly recommend walking to the other side of the island as many people don’t even go over there so it’s much quieter and a beautiful Vista from the beach. We hit a lot of different places on this day trip. My only suggestion for improvement would be that we didn’t get very much time in each place. It felt a bit rushed. Personally, I could’ve done without the last hang-out stop on the beach, in order to allow us more time for the unique experience of kayaking or exploring the floating island community. All-in-all a great day!!
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We are thrilled that our guides were able to get you to the walking cave ahead of the other boats—having that peaceful, quiet experience inside the cave is exactly what we hope for our guests. It is wonderful to hear that the kayaking, James Bond Island, and the unique floating soccer pitch at the Muslim Village were such big highlights for you. Your tip about walking to the other side of James Bond Island for a quieter view is excellent advice for future travelers! We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pace of the day. Because there are so many beautiful locations to visit in Phang Nga Bay, it can sometimes feel like a lot to fit in. Your suggestion about spending more time at the caves or the village instead of the final beach stop is very helpful as we continue to refine our itineraries. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your experience. We hope to see you back on the water for another adventure soon!

Today’s tour was great ran smoothly from start to finish locations we stopped at were outstanding natural beauty. But the highlight of my day was the crew ! Cin and the team were fantastic and we were looked after very well right to the end! We see monkeys on our way back into Phuket. If your not into speedboats then it’s not for you! But overall we’ve had a fantastic day!
Thank you so much for the glowing review! We are thrilled to hear that your day ran smoothly from start to finish and that you enjoyed the incredible natural beauty of the islands. We will be sure to pass your kind words along to Cin and the rest of the crew. They take great pride in looking after our guests, and hearing that they were the highlight of your day will mean a lot to them! It is also a lucky bonus that you got to see the monkeys on the way back into the marina—nature always has a way of providing those extra special moments. You make a great point about the speedboats; they are definitely for those who enjoy a bit of pace and adventure on the water! We are so glad it was the right fit for you and that you had a fantastic day overall.
This is a very well organised trip with plenty of stop offs. James Bond Island is obviously very touristy but you would expect that. It is worth a visit as the scenery is stunning. The fish that you see in the sea are amazing when you stop. The staff are very helpful making sure that you can get on and off the boat. Plenty of refreshments and you are looked after well. I would recommend anybody who is not adverse to speed boats to go. If not you can take a long boat which takes more time. Fabulous day out.
Thank you so much for the detailed review! We are glad you enjoyed the organization of the trip and found the scenery as stunning as we do. James Bond Island is certainly a busy spot, but it’s a classic for a reason! It is great to hear that you enjoyed the views and the marine life from the boat, and that our team took such good care of you throughout the day. We always try to keep the refreshments flowing and make sure everyone feels comfortable and well-attended to. We really appreciate you recommending the speedboat for those who want to see it all in a day. It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to see you again for another great day out on the water!
