it was great and went as planned. Nikom and the driver Muhammad works well together. lively and informative.

Had a great experience on the James Bond Island tour. The hotel pickup made everything super convenient, and the guide was friendly and informative. There’s a fair bit of driving involved, but it was worth it for the views and the canoeing. The food actually ended up being good too—way better than I expected when I heard buffet. Definitely recommend if you’re visiting Phuket!

Full description

First, you will get picked up from your hotel. Start this full-day tour visiting the famous Monkey Cave of Wat Suwan Kuha. Discover the many interconnected caves in the mountain and admire the gold reclining Buddha inside of the cave and explore the temple.

Then, jump on the long-tail boat and explore the magical mangrove forest of Ao Phang Nga National Park. Stop at Pan Yee Island which is a local muslim fishing village, where about 1600 people permanently live. Pan yee island is mostly made up of huge vertical limestone cliffs, and all houses and huts are built on stilts over the surrounding shallow sea! Here you will also enjoy a tasty lunch.

Next up we will take you to the activity spot that you all have been waiting for, James Bond Island, the island that became famous from the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun." You will be dropped off at Khao Phing Kan Island, where you can watch the famous James Bond limestone rock, standing tall in the waters! Explore the islands and take some photos at the iconic limestone formations that rise dramatically from the waters!

Then, experience the area’s beauty by sea canoe, paddling around Talu Island before returning to the pier. Your expert guide will paddle the canoe for you, as the waters in this area can be difficult for paddling.

The entire experience was excellent. The guide was very nice and caring providing facts and small conversation. The places that we visited where very unique, beautiful landscapes, lunch was delicious with plenty of veggy options. Fresh water during the tour was also provided which in such a warm weather is very needed. Tour definitely worth it
