    A very good experience

    A very good experience to participate in the big longtail boat trip in the morning, the shuttle is also very punctual, the whole process of communication in English, the weather is very good, the place can be reached, there are basically no more due to the weather, the itinerary, the rowing trip is also worthy of the scenery, the boatman is also very good. I am very responsible to help me take pictures and introduce the scenery. Some places have less time to stay. About one hour. Lunch is self-service. It is acceptable to finally go to the beach and return to the hotel on time.

    Response from the operator: Dear Yaphong1 We appreciated your and thank you very much for sharing your positive review on our TripAdvisor page.Its amazing to read that you did very good experience the tour program with us. We look forwards to welcoming you back in the near future. Kind regards Sugar Oh-Hoo team

    I really enjoyed

    I really enjoyed the feeling of sitting on a big boat and blowing the cool breeze and watching the distance! I am very excited and pleasantly surprised to be able to cross the canoe through one natural hole, and the experience of barefoot wading through the cave to another small world to observe the ecology is also memorable. I like all the arrangements of this trip, if there is a chance. I want to review the experience again. The tour guide and the staff are very warm and friendly, thank you

    Response from the operator: Dear Lu14041 The sea below you. The sky above you.It makes you feel the cool breeze and feel free. Thank you for your taking the time to sharing nice feedback to us ! We look forward to welcoming you back in the near future. Best regards Sugar OH-HOO TEAM

    I don’t enjoy this excursion at all!!!!!

    It was a waste of time and money! We didn’t arrive at our boat until almost 11:00. It was supposed to start at 9:30. Then the boat broke down on the way to the island and we had to slowly float back to the dock. We had to wait for a replacement boat to come and get us By the time we arrived to the island we only had 30 minutes total to enjoy it! Not enough time at all! Lunch was disappointing as well. We sat at tables for 8 people and we were served 1 plate of vegetables, egg omelet, noodles and egg . And 1 bowl of soup to share. But a lot of white rice . We asked for more vegetables and were refused, only 1 plate per table!!!

    Response from the operator: Dear 1suntra Thank you for your review and sorry to hear that you had unpleasant experience with our services. We already checked with the operator and it not possible to have was a waste of time and money as you commented to us.We have to apology that for the boat broke down on the way but it was accident for a bit but we did the best way for you.This is the tour of how locals travel at a low price. I think your expectations were too high about food etc . We hopefully you are understanding us. Best regards, Sugar OH-HOO TEAM

    Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat cost?

    +

    Prices start at $57 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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat 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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 50 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 4 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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat?

    +

    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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat 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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat?

    +

    Around 1 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 Phuket to James Bond Island Tour Including Sea Canoeing & Lunch by Longtail Boat 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.
