No time to snorkel but that’s ok lol.

We booked the trip hoping to snorkel but this was not the trip for that. However, we saw a lot of interesting places and had an enjoyable day just the same. The guide kept the trip on target as there was a lot of places to visit.

Great value

Was picked up promptly as discussed with booking agent. I paid 2200 THB for this trip alongside the half day Phuket City tour and the Phi Phi tour. Good value I think. I forgot that there was a two hour road trip to get us to the Longtail boat- but this time passed and I was able to take a snooze along the way. We had two stopovers before we got to the main event at Janes Bond Island. We stopped at the caves and temple and saw a few monkeys in the bargain too- a nice way to break up the tedium of the car journey to the boat. We then stopped over for some kayaking at Kayu Island- again good value I was a bit apprehensive about the long tail boat but this is a lively way to enjoy the natural beauty of the islets along the way. James Bond island didn’t disappoint- I’ve done this trip on two previous occasions and have always enjoyed it. This fine I took a swim in the waters close to the monument to the man with the golden gun- I didn’t touch the monument but got close enough and the waters were warm and clean. I also checked the leaning walls too. We finally stopped over at Pantene island had some lunch then returned back to the longtail boat dock and made the two hour road trip back to Patong. Good value trip and I recommend it to all.

Response from the operator: We are delighted to read that you had an amazing time . Your kind words on our products and services are highly appreciated and we are sure that our team will be delighted to read your comments.

Great trip

A long roadtrip to start and end which would've been nice to know before hand but a terrific tour. Enjoyed the canoes around the islands where the guide was great and the 007 island scene itself is very picturesque. Lunch in the village was okay, but was included so it you can't fault it. Overall it was a worthwhile trip, well organised and not felt rushed.

Response from the operator: Thanks you for your feedback we value your response and hope that you had a great experience throughout your tour

James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views: questions travelers ask

Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.

How much does James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views cost?

+

Prices start at $2709 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Phuket usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

How long does James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views take?

+

Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Phuket is not rushed.

Is James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 52 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 4 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Phuket, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

Can I cancel or reschedule James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views?

+

Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

Is James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views?

+

Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Phuket can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

What should I bring or wear?

+

Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Phuket and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does James Bond Island by Longtail Boat : Sea Canoeing & Island Views start and how do I get there?

+

The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Phuket within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

What are the best things to do in Phuket?

+

On Outty we rank every Phuket experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Southern Flavors Phuket Food Tour with 15+ Tastings, James Bond Island by Big Boat w/ Sea Cave Canoeing and Lunch, Phang Nga Bay Canoeing & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

When is the best time to visit Phuket?

+

Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

How many days do you need in Phuket?

+

Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

+

Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
