    Terribly organised

    Didn't expect a 2 hour bus ride to start with. No information given about travel schedule. Bus driver put me and family at risk with very dangerous driving.

    Good. A lot packed in

    Pick up good, but mini bus cramped. Driver god to make up time for late passengers. The temple visit average, no guide to explain. Boat trip crammed in, but the James Bond island , particularly being canoed around a near island in a cave excellent. You need mines for 100tb tips . Beware it is very easy to get list on the floating island. Take care. Reference on what is not included needs attention. It said not included 400tb for the National Park. No one asked for it. Overal worth the trip,4/5 due to size if group and being packed in.

    James Bond Island Trip

    Really well organised and stunning trip. Would definitely recommend. We visited some beautiful places including the floating village and had the opportunity to go Canoeing to which was fantastic.

    Nice tour guide but the trip was over booked!

    On the tour you get to see several amazing spots and they are absolutely worth seeing. Here's the reason why I rated this low. We specifically picked this one because in the description it tells you there will be no more than 45 people, which is still a lot but it was one of the tours that had the least amount of max people. When we got there we had to wait for a different boat because they loaded our tour up with over 60 people! 20 extra people absolutely makes a difference and not in a good way! With that many people our tour guide could never really talk with us or give us any background or information at any of our stops. He even apologized to us for this. On almost every stop there were people that couldn't get back to the meeting place on time so we had to keep shortening our time at the next stop because we had a person on the tour that had a plane to catch. We ended up feeling a little "ripped off" for what we got and what we paid for because they added 20 extra people to our tour. This is too bad because the things we saw were really neat and it could have been a great experience, but fell short.

    Response from the operator: Our valued customer . We appreciate you for writing to us . Please provide your booking number for our reference . And we are ready to compensate for the inconvenience caused during the tour . We apologize you for the inconvenience caused and strive to provide great service in near future .

    Beautiful scenery, wonderful guide

    One of the best parts of this tour was the guide. He was informative and so friendly. Our tour was August 9th. The scenery is as gorgeous as you would hope and I would recommend this tour. I wish they would have told us to bring extra changes of clothes and shoes, or warn us that we would be soaked head-to-toe (the wringing out my backpack kind of soaked :). My only major issue with this trip were the other passengers. There was a group of about 20 men from India that were grabbing me, touching my hair, whispering in my ear. There were so many of them that there was nowhere on the boat I could sit without being harassed. I believe the tour should have some policy that when a guest informs you that they are being harassed, that the perpetrators should be kicked off the tour or made to wait for another boat. I don't have a concrete solution to this problem, but the other passengers ruined this expedition for me. I rated it 4 stars for the wonderful guide, the fun boat rides, and the beautiful scenery (it's not the tour company's fault that there were obnoxious passengers, but I wish they would have done anything to remedy the problem).

    Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour cost?

    +

    Prices start at ฿2,838 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 Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour 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 Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 36 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.1/5 across 7 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 Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour?

    +

    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 Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour 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 Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour?

    +

    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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Uncover the Beauty of James Bond Island Phuket Longtail Boat Tour 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.

    +

    Included: Boat fee; Lunch; Accident Insurance; Hotel round-trip transfer (Kata, Karon, Patong Beach area only); and Life Jacket. Not included: Gratuities; and Admission fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
