The 15 Best Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island Tours

20 reviewed

The bay is the reason people base a week in Phuket, and the boat decides everything about the day. A big boat is steadier and cheaper, a longtail gets inside the sea caves, and only the canoe trips take you through the hongs at the right state of the tide. Below are the best Phang Nga Bay tours, with what each includes, how long it runs, and which stop at Koh Panyee for lunch.

1.Phang Nga Bay Sea Cave Canoeing & James Bond Island by Big Boat

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 4,666 reviews · from $99Our pick

Canoe Phang Nga Bay sea caves, swim at Nakae Island, and visit James Bond Island on a full-day big boat cruise from Phuket.

“We were fortunate to have a beautiful day, with calm waters. Canoeing through the caves is magical. It’s great having someone doing all the paddling for you, steering you to the best vantage points for pics, pointing out specific features that you might otherwise miss. James Bond island is touristy, but was a fun stop. There’s just so much pure, natural beauty in the area to enjoy while cruising along on the very comfortable large boat. The crew was extremely friendly and accommodating. Lunch was delicious.”

2.Phang Nga Bay and Canoeing Tour by Big Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,528 reviews · 10 hours · from $53

Big boat from Phuket to Phang Nga Bay, canoe sea caves, Hong Island lagoons, and James Bond stops, with buffet lunch and drinks.

“Excellent value for the money. Delicious food, incredible entertainment while on the boat, awesome kayaking activities, and the stops were organized and well timed. This trip had it all. Only thing I think should be improved is the transfer from the boat to the james bond island via the large long tail boat. That thing was falling apart and fell unsafe. People had to walk along super narrow edges to get to their seats. Fine for young people but dangerous for older or people with poor mobility or balance. Anyway, best way to spend a day while in Phuket.”

“We booked a private tour to James Bond Island for our group of two families and had an amazing experience! Our guide JoJo was fantastic — friendly, knowledgeable, and very attentive. The transport arrived right on time (actually even earlier), and everything during the day went exactly as described. The long-tail boat ride was beautiful, offering stunning panoramic views of the landscape. The canoe activity was well organized and a real highlight. Lunch was delicious, and throughout the trip JoJo explained everything clearly and helped us take great photos at all the iconic spots. We couldn’t have asked for a better guide or smoother experience. Highly recommended!”

“The longboat ride was great. Gave us lots of sightseeing opportunities. The kayaking (they have a guide paddle you around) was a brilliant experience. Would be great to get some advice to what a good tip is to give the kayak guide in the advice area of the itinerary rather than just mention tips. James Bond island was fun & beautiful - would have liked longer there as it felt rushed leaving after our swim. Lunch was fine, the village was interesting. The temple was interesting too, the monkeys are very cute. Would have been good to be told that women need to cover their legs and arms to go…”
