Sailing through Phang Nga Bay is a total dream! We kayaked into hidden lagoons and explored the famous 007 film location. We wrapped up the day at Koh Panyee, a charming floating village on stilts, for the best seafood lunch with a view

    James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $70 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 & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket take?

    +

    Plan for about 9 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 & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 8 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 & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket?

    +

    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 & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket?

    +

    Around 3 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 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket 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, Phuket Thai Cooking Class with Market Tour Option. 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.

    What is included in James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket?

    +

    Included: Life Insurance; Bottled water; Tea and coffee; Lunch; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Cruise Terminal Deep Sea Port (Private Roundtrip Transfer); Airport Transfer (private round trip); and National Park Fee Adult 300THB (Child 150THB). Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 613 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 60 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to James Bond Island & Koh Yao Yai Day Trip: Speedboat from Phuket if the weather is bad?

    +
