About this experience

The speedboat is fast and exciting. It's a great way to take the James Bond Island tour along with all the must-see spots in Phang Nga Bay. You'll see the iconic island (now called James Bond) featuring the distinct 'needle' limestone tower that you likely saw in motion picture “The Man with the Golden Gun”. You'll also visit a Muslim fishing village and take a memorable canoe ride through dramatic cliff formations and mangrove forests.

Friends trip

Excellent tour. I highly recommend. Our tour guide was very attentive and fun. Lots of variety to do for a day trip. I can't say enough good things about this tour. I'm so glad the weather cooperated and we were able to go.

Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us! We're thrilled to hear that you enjoyed the pickup service and the complimentary breakfast and drinks at the pier. It's great to know that our team made a positive impression, and that you appreciated the bracelets for the tour. We understand that communication regarding the timing of the next steps is crucial, and we apologize for any delays in relaying that information. Your feedback helps us improve our services to ensure a smoother experience for future guests. We’re glad you enjoyed the speedboat ride and the snorkeling on the second island. However, we regret that you found the area overcrowded and the water conditions less than ideal. We strive to balance the number of guests to provide a more enjoyable experience and will take your comments into consideration for future improvements. Thank you once again for your feedback, and we hope to welcome you back for another adventure

Lots of fun but very busy.

Full day of speed boat rides and island hoping. Canoeing through caves and mangroves and Lunch on a Muslim floating island, lots to see and do. It was very busy and we went off peak so if you don’t like crowds it’s not for you. We had 2 boys and they loved the experience.

Response from the operator: It sounds like you had an amazing day filled with thrilling adventures! Exploring caves and mangroves while canoeing must have been quite an exhilarating experience. And having lunch on a Muslim floating island sounds like a unique and memorable opportunity. It's great to hear that your boys loved the experience as well.

A great day exploring a lot of cool stuff!

This is a GREAT tour. There's a bit of waiting around, but you get to see some amazing sites. James Bond Island. A floating village with a floating mosque and a floating football field. Plus a delightful beach for frolicking and beer. All good fun.

Excellent from start to finish.

Excellent Full day trip, picked up as promised, all the places as planned, speed boat was superb. Our guide was full of fun and very knowledgeable and the camera man worked so hard capturing our experiences without being intrusive. Lunch in the floating island was way better than expected. Would highly recommend this trip!

James Bond Island by Speedboat: questions travelers ask

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

How much does James Bond Island by Speedboat cost?

+

Prices start at $3000 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 Speedboat take?

+

Plan for about 24 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 Speedboat worth it?

+

It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 7 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 Speedboat?

+

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 Speedboat suitable for kids and families?

+

Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 24-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

How far in advance should I book James Bond Island by Speedboat?

+

Around 2 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 24-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

Where does James Bond Island by Speedboat 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.
