Not happy felt like I got scammed
The whole experience was terrible it felt like an big scam they take you to the monkey cave at start not at the end and when you get to the boat they ask for 300thb to see the James Bond island witch was meant to be part of the booking price and the food at the floating island is not worth it the food was cold bottom line this whole tour just felt like AN BIG FAT SCAM I will never recommend these people

Worst touring company!
Worst company to work with. When you book with them they give you confirmation that your pickup is your hotel but its not supposed to be hotel pickup if you are outside phuket area. But then the confirnation should not show pickup as Hotel. Then you dont get any response from whatsapp by the tour operator and only get response when you contact viator. Then even when they arrange transportation and you ask for name or taxi nunber to make sure you sit in the right taxi, they dont provide the details after asking multiple times, and stop responding on whatsapp. A person shows up for pickup and you are supposed to just go by their word that they are from where they say they are. Then you go for tour and though the tour sames James Bond island and Monkey cave and the guide says also that we will be taken to both, they only take to James bond island and return. The lady guide was very nice in person but everything else was over promised under delivered. The food place for lunch was also ok. Not so good. I wouldn't take another tour with them again. Very stressful before and after.

Magical places, magnificent views
The views are breathtaking at all the locations, every station of the day trip has its unique atmosphere and each one is magnificent. Bring a backpack in order to be able to take your belongings with you easily at all times.

James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Phuket.
How much does James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket cost?
+
Prices start at ฿2,000 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 38 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.3/5 across 9 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour 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, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket?
+
Included: Boat Fees; Lunch; English-speaking guide; All admission fees as mentioned in the program; and Transfer from/to hotel. Not included: Personal expenses; Gratuities and tips; and National Park Fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket include hotel pickup?
+
Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 5 listed pickup locations in and around Phuket. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.
What languages is James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay and Canoe Tour from Phuket offered in?
+

+
