    James bond island

    The day was brilliant from start to finish, with us staying in Khao Lak our transfer was about 2 hours each way, the guides were amazing and so knowledgeable about the islands. They were there to help with anything even helped carry my flip flops back to the boat when I got stuck in the mud in the cave. The islands were absolutely beautiful. Myself and my daughter had an amazing day.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your day with us! We’re glad you and your daughter enjoyed the beautiful islands and the guides’ knowledge and helpfulness, even with the longer transfer from Khao Lak. It sounds like a memorable adventure together. Oh-Hoo

    So pleased we went on this trip

    We had a wonderful day on this trip. The guide was excellent with extremely clear information throughout the trip and a wonderful, friendly and welcoming demeanor. The crew were equally good and very helpful. We enjoyed the simple but very tasty buffet lunch. Thank you for a great day

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your kind review! We’re delighted the guide’s clear information and warm welcome, the helpful crew and tasty lunch made your day so enjoyable. Oh-Hoo

    Excellent day….but long, think twice if travelling from Khao Lak

    This experience was great. We could not fault the activities or the tour guides. As with every trip we have taken the scenery is absolutely stunning and all the people you meet are so welcoming. Our only gripe is the transportation. Be aware that if you are travelling from khao lak area you need to add approximately 2.5 - 3 hours in each direction onto the trip. We wish we had understood this as it was an extremely long day especially as so much of it was crammed in a tight minibus with limited legroom. Our driver was doing 110kms in 80kms zone but he probably would not have kept to schedule if he didn’t. Luckily there were no incidents but you are in their hands after all you have no control over what could happen. The transportation centre was also a bit manic, maybe just organised chaos of a normal day for them, we got home in one piece that is the main thing! I would definitely recommend the tour but personally only if I was staying in the Phuket area.

    Response from the operator: Thank you very much for taking the time to share such a detailed and balanced review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the activities, the tour guides, and the stunning scenery, as well as the welcoming people you met along the way. We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the transportation, especially for guests traveling from the Khao Lak area. We understand how the long travel time, limited space, and driving concerns could make for an exhausting day, and we’re sorry for any discomfort or worry this caused. Your comments about safety, scheduling pressure, and the transfer experience are taken very seriously and will be shared with our team to help us improve communication, planning, and driving standards. Thank you again for your recommendation and for highlighting the importance of location when booking this tour. We’re glad you arrived home safely and hope to have the opportunity to provide you with an even better experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Great experience and crew

    Great crew, nice boat, plenty of water. We really enjoyed our trip I would recommend this company with the understanding that there lunch is okay at best If food is important there are better choices if not this was a great experience

    Response from the operator: Thank youfor your honest and helpful review. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the trip, the boat, and the service provided by our crew, and that you had a great overall experience. We also appreciate your feedback regarding the lunch, as this helps us understand where improvements can be made. Thank you for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Sea Star provided golden guns for photos which was a nice touch...

    We were picked up from our hotel & taken by bus to the Sea Star pier in Phuket taking just under 2 hours from KhaoLak. We were checked in & given a light breakfast. Cherry "Darling" was our guide for the day on the rather uncomfortable Sea Star no. 2 speedboat....very little room to get in and out of the seats. Our first stop was a 25 minute snorkelling stop followed by a trip to the "ice cream" cave. James Bond island came next where the staff had two golden guns to take photos with which was a nice touch. We then had a lovely Thai lunch on Panyee Island but unfortunatelu not for long enough to have a wander around the island. The excursion finished with escorted kayaking and a swim. All in all a great day out.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience with us. We’re delighted to hear that you enjoyed the overall excursion and had a great day exploring the highlights. We truly appreciate your honest feedback regarding the comfort and seating space on the speedboat, as well as the limited time to explore Panyee Island. Your comments are very valuable to us and will be shared with our team as we continuously look for ways to improve our guests’ comfort and experience. Thank you again for choosing us. We hope to have the pleasure of welcoming you again on another adventure in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    James Bond & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does James Bond & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak cost?

    +

    Prices start at $81 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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak take?

    +

    Plan for about 10 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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 67 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 20 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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak?

    +

    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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 10-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book James Bond & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak?

    +

    Around 7 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 10-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does James Bond & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak 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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak?

    +

    Included: Travel insurance; Hotel pickup and drop-off; English-speaking tour guide; Small refreshment in Royal Phuket Marina Pier, Small refreshment on-board; and Actual information about your boat tour. Not included: National park fee (300THB per adult and 150THB per child) to be paid at point of entry. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    What languages is James Bond & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak 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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak?

    +

    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 & Khai Islands Speedboat Day Tour From Khao Lak wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Not recommended for pregnant travelers; and Guests who are pregnant or have high blood pressure, heart disease and bone diseases are n. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.
