Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island with Canoeing By Big Boat

Unforgettable

What a great time we had! Beautiful boat ride and the lunch was delicious. The kayak experience was really interesting and beautiful. Thank you for helping us make forever memories.

Exceeded expectations because of canoe segment

This was a great event (late May). It’s very warm here, but the boat ride was beautiful and the breeze made it wonderful outside. James Bond Island was fine, but crowded. The canoe rides (paddled by the guides) were much more interesting. The trip through the cave to the hidden lake was fascinating. We are very glad we went. Tips - sit on shady side of boat. Try to have your canoe guide be from your boat as they speak English better than the other guides (extra guides are used to paddle).

Sea caves and more

We had a great time on this tour. The sea caves on Hong island were the best part of the tour. Nice lunch and plenty of refreshments to keep us hydrated.

Disappointed

We didn’t get there as your operator didn’t send us a time to be ready in time and therefore they went without us

Great trip

Amazing views throughout the whole trip. James Bond Island was fantastic. Loved the 2 canoeing trips. The staff were very friendly and the lunch onboard was really tasty.

Superrrr.

Verything was too good. Minus James bond island it's just for taking photos.Service of tour staffs was very good well guided trip.Food was ok But if u like Thai food then it's very good.Take another island instead of james bond island.

Perfect boat trip with Tommy

It was great experience for us to be in a boat with Tommy. The foods are really good The staffs are always so helpful and kind 👏👏👏

Amazing trip

Wonderful trip, collected from our hotel and taken to the port. Guide and his staff were very friendly and helpful. The buffet supplied on board was delicious there was also soft drinks and snacks supplied for the duration of the trip.. then we’re taken back to our hotel afterwards. Great day out and worth the money

Good tour but poor organisation

Overall a good tour. However, the organization is poor. There are too many people monitoring different accounts. So if you need to make any changes, don't listen to what they say and message them on every possible phone number. James Bond island is completely overrated and I am sure there are better places to visit.

Canoeing in caves is a very good experience

The big boat was nice as well as food. Tour guides were nice. Canoeing in caves is a very good experience for sea lovers. The water quality around the Phang Nga Bay was bad and no good for swimming in the week. There was many jelly fishes. After canoeing, they brought us to a mini beach and it was super mini.

Good trip

Well organised and a good full day out. Island a little crowded but expected. Canoeing twice was a good experience.

Great trip, staff really were amazing!

The staff team could not be more accommodating from snacks and drinks to generally being present and having jokes on board. I would highly recommend. They go above and beyond to make the trip even better and I think the staff made the trip so thank you!

A good full day's tour, very enjoyable.

This tour was a good full day. James Bond Island was iconic. Loved the strips in canoes, being paddled through the caves at Hong. Loved the caves full of bats at the end of the day, that canoe ride was pretty special. Food on board the boat was pretty decent. You can go outside or inside on the boat. We had a good guide too.

Great Trip

Amazing trip to the island around Phuket. The best part was canoeing through a cave to get inside Phanak Island, and seeing some of the wildlife. The canoeists also were great at finding perfect photo spots.

Awesome Tour A+

Very well executed tour. Great communication at pickup time. The activities completed were not rushed.the meal was excellent. The staff was awesome! I will use TripAsvisor for future tours

Excellent tour, nice...

Excellent tour, nice schedule of islands visited, we especially liked James Bond island. Nice kayak activities in beautiful sites, delicious food provided for lunch, friendly staff, timely pickup from hotel. All went according to plan. Reccoment it!

Do not book

They gave me the wrong meeting location and then tried to blame me when they didn’t pick us up. They then refused to give me a refund. They ruined our day and did not even apologize. Do not recommend booking with this company.

Pretty but boring

Most of your time is spent on the boat which goes very slow. The kayaking is done by one of the employees and lasts 10 minutes for the entire day. James Bond island is a 20 minute experience (that can be skipped) and you barely have enough time to swim. Our tour started an hour late and we had to wait for someone we left on the island for another hour. Would not recommend.

Beautiful cruising through the bay

This was a very well organized tour even with it being on a big boat. It was super efficient and the service was fantastic. The canoeing was the highlight and our guide was awesome. You’ll see the famous island scenery from this tour!

An amazing and organized experience!

Great time! Much more relaxed than Koh Phi Phi. The tour guides we're great and provided great service. The experience itself was also breathtaking!

It was a great experience.

The Phang Nga Bay is beautiful like Ha Long Bay. With the difference that there was beautiful weather and rain in Vietnam.

Be prepared to get onto inflatable boats for every island! I sprained my wrist two arms trying onto the inflatable boat

The guide was very good but they don’t tell you ahead of time you have to get on and off inflatable boats at each island. Very unsteady for me

A great Phuket boat trip

Probably the best tour during our trip around Thailand. Mannie was a great host, all the staff provided top customer service, and the itinerary itself is out of this world. If you are in Phuket book this tour!

Great tour - worth the money

Great tour with a great guide. Everything went ad described (even the timing for pickup was very exact). Nice experiences, beautiful views, cozy boat, good food and all in all perfect! I am definitely recommend this.

Great trip - not to be missed!

The crew BJ Canoeing were great - the whole staff worked extremely hard so we could enjoy the canoeing, the food was lovely and plenty for everyone - everything they did made the whole experience worthwhile -we would highly recommend -there is nothing not to like - its was a great trip the whole family loved it - the canoeing team were great fun too and explained exactly what they were doing or the history

So much fun!

Amazing and kind tour guides, fantastic thai lunch provided by kitchen staff on boat, gorgeous views and really cool caves! Would recommend to anyone who wants a full experience of Phang Nga.

Nice and relaxing cruise

This was the best tour that we took while in Phuket. There was plenty of room on the boat and the lunch was pretty good. The crew on the boat were very helpful and went above and beyond to accommodate any requests from all visiting guests. I would recommend that you contact the tour operator a day in advance because the start time is different from the pick up time at the hotel. That would be my only complaint about this trip.

Amazing well-organised tour

The tour was well organised from hotel pickup to drop off and value for money. It covered all the attractions listed as promised and Canoeing in Hong and Phanak Islands was amazing. The tour guide was very friendly, methodical and clear with his instructions. The lunch onboard the big boat was delicious.

Fun experience because got lucky with good tour guides

Tour guide Baw Anun and his assistant Nutty from BJ Canoeing took very good care of us and made the experience an overall great experience. As others mentioned, canoeing is really the highlight of the whole trip so would definitely recommend people to book tours with the canoeing option.

Amazing experience.

We loved this tour! The kayaking through the caves was definitely the highlight of the tour, we thoroughly enjoyed it and the staff were very lovely.

Excellent day!

The canoeing was the highlight of our day! The staff were super friendly, they even made us rings out of some leaves. Thoroughly enjoyed the experience.

Great day out

We had such a wonderful day on this trip, canoeing, swimming & the guides were amazing. They made sure you were safe at all times. We chose the big boat as we had been on fast boats & they are packed with people. On the big boat you have plenty of room to move around plus you get to see more as they travel slower. Definitely recommend if you have never done it before :-)

Nice sightseeing but overcrowded

The guide and the tour team was very nice. However I feel we overpaid for the pick up point, since the meeting point was bit far away from the airport. There was also long time waiting at the beginning of the tour and too many people on board. Recommended for the location and sightseeing but definitely I would suggest to reduce the amount of participants.

Must do in Phuket!

The tour is well organized. Food is great, tours are as promised. All stops are interesting! Tour guides are polite and helpful. Make you feel safe and comfortable. Must do in Phuket!

Worth every penny

Nice trip. Everything was Well organized. Enough time to spend at James Bond Island. Also kayaking was fun. Great wievs and good food.

A day out not to miss!

Fantastic Day, well organised and thought out. Loved it and would definitely recommend it. Soft drinks and food were available throughout the day and the lunch was great, sights were just amazing. All the crew were brilliant but big shout out to Kim who helped us take some photos we would not have thought to do. I have a mobility issue and all the crew were great in helping when needed. Memories that will stay with me. Thank you.

Islands in the Sun

This trip really is a highlight to any holiday in Phuket. One of my favorite days in our time spent in Thailand. Travelled through the seas on a 2 floor Big Boat. On boarding we were greeted by The Skipper, who kept us regularly informed of the day’s plan. Drinks, bananas and biscuits as we set sail, buffet lunch, fruit, more drinks and even a refreshing cup of tea/coffee served up at the right time. The islands are beautiful and canoeing was so much fun, both with the paddler(s) and giving it a go yourself. Book you’ll have a fab time.

Joyful fun day

Slow tempo island visit (4 sections ... pending on weather, high/low tides, orders may vary). A great way to enjoy the nature arts of stalagmite and stalactite in caves, lagoons, etc. The tour operator did a great job to make the whole trip memorable. The downside is participants may need to pay extra for taxi fee (to and fro hotels). It will be more helpful if this is stated explicitly. So, tourists are at least prepared for it.

Amazing Experience

An amazing experience! The tour exceeded my expectations from start to finish. The caves were so amazing! T

Friendly staff and excellent cleanliness and services on boat

Lots of activities to keep you constantly engaged. Amazing friendly staff. Great cleanliness and well maintained boat

An absolutely great day out!

An absolutely great day out! Thoroughly enjoyed the sights and especially tiding with our guide in the canoe. He was so attentive to making our trip as memorable and informed as he could. The leisurely boat trip, refreshments and lunch and staff were all delightful!

Fun day discovering Phang Nga Bay

We were picked up right on time from our accommodation. The tour was as described at the time of booking, the staff onboard was really great and knowledgeable, a special shoutout to Manak and his team. The James Bond island was crowded but at every other island on the itinerary it was just our group! The lunch served in board was delicious! Definitely recommend booking this tour while visiting Phuket.

love ao phang nga

Mana was great. The itinerary was excellent. Exactly as described and they even had vegetarian options at the buffet. I bought two phone pouch’s when they were selling them on the boat lol

Island hopping including James Bond Island and canoeing experience

Very well organised, super clean boat and fabulous buffet. Tour guide was very clear about the itinerary for the day.

Really worth for the money spend

Hospitality by the boat staff and Canoeing Pick up and drop also good.Jamesbond island is ok nice trip

The new Bond girl

The excursion was great from beginning to end. I arrived at the meeting place and everyone was friendly. We boarded the big boat, the guide was very informative. The staff assisting when arrived to the islands were very patient and friendly. Lunch on the boat was delicious. It was an all day event but fun.

This is a very cool tour.

You will be on a big two story boat. You will climb up and down a ladder a few times. You will enjoy every moment of this tour. The staff was amazing. Our tour guide was so nice and funny. Lunch was really good. Music was lively and fun. We had a gentleman paddle us through caves (that is an experience and so beautiful) and take our pictures for several stops. James Bond island was pretty cool. The water was refreshing. You can climb in the caves as well. If gig aren’t interested in souvenirs on James Bond island, please walk straight and don’t make eye contact with the vendors. They are “strong” salespeople. The views along the way to each stop are awe inspiring and something you must see with your own eyes to believe. No regrets.

Fantastic tour

Fantastic tour , especially the canoeing through the caves and the lagoon The lunch on the boat was excellent Thank you so much , for a memorable day

Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island with Canoeing By Big Boat From Phuket
