★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 294 reviews · from $65 a head Our pick

Spend about 8.5 hours crossing Phang Nga Bay by speedboat, canoeing through Hong Island’s caves, seeing James Bond Island, eating a halal buffet at Ko Panyi, and relaxing at Naka Noi. Guides such as Mickey, Cin, Sunny, and Alex have been praised for humor, clear instructions, and good care of the group.

“I had an amazing time on the James Bond Island tour in Phuket. We visited seven beautiful islands, but the trip was so well-paced that it never felt tiring. There were plenty of chances to relax, swim, and enjoy the scenery, plus the food provided was genuinely good — fresh and tasty. A big thank you to Lily, our friendly and knowledgeable guide, Nay, the talented photographer who captured great moments, and of course Captain Jack Sparrow, who kept the journey smooth! Everything was well-organised, and the team made the whole experience enjoyable from start to finish. Highly recommend this tour if you are visiting Phuket!”
