James Bond Island Tour By Longtail Boat

The tour operator and guides were exceptionally helpful. Our hotel was outside the pickup zone, so a car was arranged for pickup and drop off for extra charges. We had a bonus stopover at a cave temple with reclining Buddha which we absolutely loved! The atmosphere felt like being in an Indiana Jones movie! At the atmosphere was so calm. Do remember to take a sarong of scarf which always comes in handy in Thailand. As a single mum travelling with two young children I felt very uncomfortable on our car journey to the island because we were grouped with a bunch of Indian men, who were extremely loud which felt intentional. The guffaws, shouts and sudden singing jolted us and we're deafening. They had no etiquette for group travels and their stares made my younger daughter uncomfortable. We requested for a change of car on on journey back, which was considered without question and was a huge relief! For the experience itself, we loved the canoe ride to the caves. James Bond island was a slight disappointment because there's nothing there to see really. All islands, jetty and restaurants had toilets. Please carry some loo rolls and travel size soaps nevertheless. We didn't find any at the temple. And if it's a peak season, soap can run out quickly. It was raining heavily on our way to the island but we felt completely safe with our guides and boatsmen.

+5

Best part was the canoe ride under the caves and shoreline. The views were amazing. The cave shrine was also great

It's a long day probably not great for small children. However it was well organised and a fabulous experience i enjoyed the day but definitely Nancy made it special great tour guide , great character

The tour was great the experience was phenomenal and I would highly recommend it to anybody traveling to Thailand

I’ve been on several 4 & 5 star viator trips, so still will use them as a booking company. However, this trip is not one that I would recommend unless it’s your only option to see the islands. Pick up: They offered to pick me up from my hotel which was great. Unfortunately pick up was late (not unexpected due to traffic), but as a result we only got 15 minutes at the caves which was okay with me. Noting in case anyone wanted more time here. Boat trip: We got back in the car to go to the boats, although this was not communicated clearly. I left my towel and water in the car as I wasn’t sure what we were doing & had done so at the previous stop, I asked and the tour guide was extremely rude to me asking why I did that. The introduction to the tour was very very hard to understand as a native English speaker. There were several signs showed about fees and fines presented. I completely understand there are rules but could have been presented nicely or as reminders. The next part of the tour was beautiful to the caves and James Bond island (it was crowded). I would highly recommend seeing the islands if you’re in Phuket. Lunch was a buffet with okay food and is not served until 2:30pm. Overall, the tour as disorganized with poor communication about what we were doing vs being enjoyable. I did go to phi phi islands the next day with Sawanu Travel which was an amazing experience that was super organized with fantastic guides. They offer a James Bond tour which may be better to do instead. Also I’m just a tourist, I have no affiliation with either of these companies, only sharing for others to enjoy their experience!

Beautiful view, many people but worth it. Amazing island and floating village makes its beautifully Amazing. Last minutes didn't sure do or not but company person was very active and make it happen.Thank you My Trip Maker.

Amazing trip, we had a very good day and see so much interesting points. Very kind people at every station. Very good organization. Thank you very much! I would book the trip again.

What an exciting tour with spectacular views. The staff were very attentive and made sure we had a great time! I would highly recommend this tour!

This place was so beautiful and I’ve never been there so I really love it so much. So I would tell my people to go here cause it’s so good place and if i have a chance to go there again, I will go there again exactly!!!

This tour was very good, the hosts were nice and communicative. We really enjoyed the James Bond island and the Muslim floating village. The tour guide did a very good job communicating what we were doing.
