2.James Bond Island by Longtail Boat Small Group Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,755 reviews · 10 hours · from $73

Spend 10 hours touring Phang Nga Bay from Phuket by van, longtail boat, and canoe. Visit Monkey Cave, eat lunch at Koh Panyi, paddle around Talu Cave, and see James Bond Island. Small groups of up to nine travel with English-speaking guides such as Jojo, MJ, and Susie. Hotel pickup, lunch, park fees, and water are included, depending on your booking option.

“MJ was an amazing tour guide — super friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole experience truly authentic and exciting! The only thing was the transfer — our hotel was located outside the pickup zone, so we had to take a taxi to the meeting point, which took quite a bit of time. It would have been perfect if the transfer could have started from our location as well, so we could spend more time enjoying the program instead of traveling. Apart from that, the tour and the guide were absolutely fantastic — I’d definitely recommend it!”
