James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay in canoa con Big Boat

A lovely day was had by us all with the guys from BJ Canoeing. Picked up in a mini-bus, which admittedly had little legs room, but was comfortable enough. AC blowed cold anyway. Arriving at the location, we were greeted and our names taken for insurance. We were introduced to the guide and given some basic safety tips. Coffee and a few breakfast snacks were available. Then you walk to the pier, get picked up in a truck and taken to the end of the pier and get on a reasonable sized double decker boat. Apart from a few, most people were directed to go to the top. There was sun shade, so all good, and enough seating for everyone. All along the trip, we were given water, squash and biscuits. James Bond island was good, even the transfer to longtail boat, then on to the other islands. I don't swim, though my family do, so they did the canoe trips, which were great. Food was good, and typically Thai. Additional fruit was then given for the trip back, as well as coffee/tea. When approaching dock, everyone was given an ice lolly. Guides, though difficult to understand at times (could be them or the PA) were friendly and very helpful. Scenery was breathtaking. Glad we did the big boat as the speed boats and long tail boats bounced around in ship wakes. Back to the pier and taken back to the hotel. Great communication too. Please remember to take crocs, flipflops or beach shoes as the beach on James Bond island can be sharp.

We joined this tour with our two children (2 and 4 year old). We had a wonderful time. The program offers variation and the staff members (and other guests) were great with the children. Because the boat is bigger, the children could explore and walk around. Would very much recommend this tour for families.

If you want to see a very famous island (James Bond Island) and knock canoeing in a bat cave off your bucket list I recommend this tour. The pace is very laid back and almost all ages can participate. The food is great (authentic Thai cuisine) and served on board. This is a good tour to do alongside the Phi Phi Island tour which is more hectic and active, and allows you to see different islands as well.

JD and crew onboard took a lot of effort to make this big boat tour from phuket a relaxing day out. Everyone will sit upstairs to get great views and breeze. Coffee tea biscuits and cold water plus fruit juice on tap. Includes kayaking with expert local paddlers who take you around the inlets and coves ans caves with tunnels.

Amazing! Surely a must see!!! I had a lifetime experience and my heart is now full of wonderful memories!

The actual activity itself was amazing. We had James as our tour guide and he was brilliant. Lots of fun. The lunch provided was better than others experienced. If you are expecting to kayak yourself, you won’t be doing this. You are in the kayak with a guide and they paddle you everywhere. James Bond island itself was disappointing. So so busy and lots of sellers of souvenirs. We got to see some monkeys on one of the other islands which was fab.

I had such a great time on this tour. Got to see everything and more than I expected. The canoeing and swimming were some of my greatest highlights. Love the scenery, food, awesome and super fun crew, and got some great memorable pictures. I would definitely recommend this group tour this company takes care of you from the beginning to the end (hotel pick up/drop off included…additional fees may apply due to location) check before booking. One last highlight I enjoyed witnessing one of the crew members hold one of the guest 1yr old baby. The baby was so happy and the parents were happy to have a little break as well. If I could give more stars I would. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

We had a fabulous time! The big boat went at a nice speed to enjoy the beautiful landscapes of the islands. The crew made it fun, safe and relaxing. The canoeing exceeded my expectations...it was a fun day!

Great B.J Canoeing tour company was great, the staff were very friendly, travelled with a 20 months old, the staff was very helpful when getting in and out. Excellent tour, worth for the price you pay.

The very nice guide, they take you from the hotel to the dock and there they give you a coffee, they take you to the boat and to 4 or 5 curious places, including the famous island and the floating village where you eat with water or juice, the rest you pay. At 3 you are left on a beach with reduced space for bathing and at 4 you return to the dock and they take you to the hotel.
