What To Expect

Meet your friendly local driver at your Phuket hotel and head out on a memorable all-day adventure. Travel in air-conditioned comfort to the Dolphin Seaway Pier, and enjoy some live music before making your way to Phang Nga Bay by speedboat.

This epic waterway is famous for its limestone karsts and incredible scenery. More than 100 islands dot the turquoise waters here. Check out James Bond Island in Ao Phang Nga National Park, which was made famous in the 1974 movie The Man with the Golden Gun.

Speed towards your next destination, Talu Island, on your Phuket speedboat. Head out on a tiny canoe with your guide, who paddles through sea caves and quiet lagoons while you relax and soak up the sun.

You can explore the caves on foot using provided helmets and flashlights and check out secret caverns with names like Ice Cream Cave. Once you’ve stretched your legs paddle back through mangroves and swamps of this untouched nature preserve. Take a swim break if you’re interested, or continue on to your traditional Thai lunch. Savor local cuisine at Koh Panyee, a Muslim village with ocean views. Check out daily life and learn more about this unique community from your friendly guide.

Finally, head to Naka Island, where you have some time to relax on the secret shores of this out-of-the-way destination. Once you’ve worked on your tan and taken a dip in the waters, head back to Phang Nga Bay and eventually Phuket, where your friendly guide and driver delivers you to your hotel.

This was quite an amazing experience. They picked us up at our hotel and transported us to the docks for where we were going to take off from. We only had to wait around 5 to 10 minutes before leaving by speedboat to the first of the islands you would be visiting that day. They did instruct anyone that would get seasick to take motion sickness pills prior to leaving. I would advise if you get seasick this boat ride isn't for you. Depending on how windy it is the day you leave, it could be a very rough ride. Just giving my caution on this! The boat ride was amazing to the first island where we saw amazing scenery and views. First stop was the cave adventure. Just stunning. I wanted to make a comment right here as we lost 1 of the 3 engines on the boat and the crew handled this with great skill. They were able to get us to the next island with a slight delay we were down 1 engine but when we stopped for lunch they had a brand new boat there waiting for us! Very professional staff and handled it amazingly. They were always attentive to our needs as far as comfort and or needing drinks or whatever. They island stops along the way were just amazing to see and well worth the trip! When we eventually made it to James Bond Island ... just words cannot describe the beauty of this island. They gave us plenty of time to take many pictures and explore the island out. The lunch was great as well ... at the city of stilts ... lol They offered us more food and drink if we all wanted more and it was a nice sit down meal with the other patrons on the tour. Was a nice time to socialize and enjoy lunch and the island. They also allowed us plenty of time here to shop and walk around the city here. The final stop was the kayaking adventure where they had boats waiting for us to take us around some of the smaller islands and into some of the caves ... this was another amazing experience and allowed for some more great picture taking! Overall I would highly recommend this tour as it was great picture taking and quite the adventure ... thank you!

Great day at sea

Ilinca_S, Mar 2024

It was a great trip from start to finish: the canoe ride around the island and in the caves was a unique experience, liked the Muslim village, the quiet time on the private island, the boat ride itself. We had good weather, the sea was calm, nothing like we expected after reading some of the reviews. Well organized, kept us well hidrated. New was a great guide. Strongly recommend.

Phang Nga is as spectacular as it looks in the photos….

Nick_P, Nov 2023

This is a big day of touring - 10 hours round trip - The hour to and from your west Phuket resort should be added. Boat was of good quality and the pick up, transfers and organisation was all first rate and stress free. The beauty of the islands cannot be under estimated and our guide, kayak paddler, and various support workers were all lovely. Highly recommended tour.

James Bond Island

Vivian_H, Mar 2020

The trip was worth the beautiful scenery. I wished we had been able to paddle our own canoe but some people may enjoy someone else paddling. Vendors on James Bond Island are a bit aggressive.

Beautiful landscape

Anne_L, Mar 2020

Beautiful landscape all around the tour. The floating village was nice to see and of course visiting in the "James Bond" island was the high light.

Phang Nga day trip by speedboat from Phuket

Donna_P, Jan 2020

This trip was well organised our guide Charlie was very informative about each location and the time at each place was good, scenery and photos opps ample, the highlights sea canoe and James bond Island scenery incredible

Disappointed

Kaitlin_K, Dec 2019

The scenery was incredible. However, I was not impressed with this company. They offer no information to you about the areas you are visiting. They simply are there to taxi you from one island to the next. The food was sadly not good at the Muslim village. Just overall very disappointed. The sea canoeing was about a 20min stop, so not as long as they make it seem unfortunately. Not the experience I was hoping for & I know there are much better companies out there you would be better off spending your money with!

Highly recommended, great full day tour!

Vivien_L, Nov 2019

Mr. Bond, our tour guide was very informative and very attentive to all of the guests during the entire trip. He spoke decently fluent english and would give us some background history before each stop. A variety of ice cooled drinks including soda and water were freely available on the boat. Overall our favourite tour during our 2 week stay in Thailand.

This was a nice trip. We had a wonderful day the islands where pretty cool. The float trip during the adventure was cool. Fun day but was a full day.

Pha nag bay

KimFat_K, Oct 2019

It was great, heaps of cold refreshments provided very friendly crews members & very experienced tour guide highly recommended

All I can say is WOW

Andrea_L, Aug 2019

This tour was absolutely amazing! The boat was clean and there were only about 15 people total on the tour with us. We first stopped at a tiny island, which was small but it was good to get a nice swim in. Next, we went to James Bond Island. We had enough time here to do some swimming and buy some souvenirs. It was absolutely beautiful! Next we were off to the village on stilts. The buffet was delicious - there was fried chicken that we couldn't get enough of! The time here was a bit long in my opinion. Not much to do there but walk around. It felt at times like we were walking through people's houses, which made me a bit uncomfortable. Otherwise it was very beautiful! Our last stop was to a lagoon where we got on canoes. We were paddled around by a very nice guide. The scenery was unreal! I would absolutely recommend this trip if you are staying in Phuket!

Exciting, Full Value for Money

Rukhshana_A, Jul 2019

Going with parents aged over 75 I was sceptical of the trip but the organisers were so caring and ensure we all enjoyed and safety was given priority. The spots were well spaced during the day. care was taken to provide food, snacks and drinks. Bird the guide was too good. Truly glad we went on this tour

Lovely experience!!

Caryn_S, Jun 2019

My wife and I had a wonderful time on this tour. Beautiful in action packed, I would highly recommend it! Thank you 😉

Disappointing

Jan_S, Apr 2019

Unfortunately the tour was disappointing. Canoeing was fun although much shorter than I thought (it's just 15-30 mins and maybe good to know you just sit there while being driven around). Besides that we visited one tiny island which was extremely crowded, over priced and without much to see in the water when snorkeling. This was all made worse by the fact that we stayed here about 1.5 hours without access to the boat so eventually you could see everyone just trying to hide in the shade and survive it. James Bond island is as expected, super crowded but it would be naive to expect it otherwise. Floating village was nice.

This trip was very good! They are fairly flexible with the order in switch you complete your itinerary. All of the stops were very busy but still good. The food was really good for lunch. The guides were nice and informative. Overall, I would recommend this!

Luke_M, May 2018

The only reason I didn't give 5 stars is that the first 2 islands were crammed with tourists. But the last 2 stops canoeing in sea caves and the secluded beach plus the speed boat ride between the islands themselves more than made up for it. The lunch on the floating island was great and the last 2 stops were two of my all time favorite experiences. The sea caves were incredible and the last beach we had mostly to ourselves. I wish we just skipped the first island snorkeling was no good and just doubled the time on the last beach.

Michael M, Mar 2018

Very nice trip, the guide, sexy Linda, was very good. The sea caves were awesome. If I had a suggestion it would be to provide a little more info about the sites we saw and destinations that were closer between stops if possible. Group size was very good as well. boat was very clean.
