    Excellent

    It is extremely good value for money. Bring a poncho just incase. Our guide Happy was excellent, he was so friendly and knowledgeable. He was funny and just a genuinely lovely man. Please can you pass that on to him. We didn't think our trip included the canoeing which made it even better. I think it would have be nice if we had a bit more time where the monkeys were and add the watt as park of the trip too as it looked beautiful but we didn't have time to explore it. Thankyou for an amazing time.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review. We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the trip and your experience even more special. We also appreciate your feedback, it’s helpful for us to continue improving our tours. We hope to welcome you on another adventure soon. Best regards, Tawan Oh-Hoo Team

    I love Chacha ❤️

    Great trip to James Bond island Ko Phing Kan on a long tail boat. Chacha our guide was extremely helpful and lovely Beautiful scenery. Then went to sea canoes which I didn’t think I could do but the young man who steered it was charming and took some lovely pictures of us and made me a flower. The caves were awesome. Then we went to the fishing village on stilts and had a tasty lunch and looked round the stalls which were full of everything you could imagine. Good prompt pick ups and return

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your experience. We're so glad to hear that Chacha made your trip even more enjoyable, and that the sea canoe adventure exceeded your expectations. We appreciate your kind words and are happy to hear everything went smoothly with the pickups and return. We hope to see you on another adventure soon. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Expectation not met.

    Would take another tour next time. The Führer spoke poorly understood English. We booked the tour especially because of no canoeing. But we didn’t know that you could watch the other tour guests canoeing and get bored. The Muslim island was only visited for lunch - the village itself was not allowed to be visited, one might as well have just driven by. The longtail boat was not a classic longtail boat (small to get close to the rocks) - we were 40 people on the tour and the boat was not fully booked. The monkey temple was great - but time was too short to visit the cave above the temple. The James-Bond rock was very crowded but really a great nature experience - here we had enough time to really look at the little islet,

    James Bond Island Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does James Bond Island Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket cost?

    +

    Prices start at $51 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 Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket take?

    +

    Plan for about 7 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 Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 61 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 6 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 Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat 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 Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book James Bond Island Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat from Phuket?

    +

    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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does James Bond Island Sightseeing(No Canoeing) Tour by Longtail Boat 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.
