2.Luxury Boat to James Bond Islands with Lunch and Sunset Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 908 reviews · from $159Top rated

Cruise from Ao Por Pier to Phang Nga Bay on a large catamaran with guide Fiona and a DJ on board. You’ll kayak through Hong Island’s caves, visit James Bond Island by longtail boat, swim near Lawa Island, and enjoy buffet lunch, dinner, soft drinks, and sunset views.

“Overcrowded “luxury” cruise – more Ibiza-style floating canteen than sightseeing We booked this James Bond catamaran trip because the description promised a luxurious experience with a beach stop, kayaking and a visit to James Bond Island. After being picked up by a “VIP” taxi, we were dropped at a very run-down waiting area before boarding the shuttle bus to the catamaran, which felt like a poor start to a supposedly luxury trip.

3.James Bond Island by Premium Speedboat with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 294 reviews · from $65Best value

Spend about 8.5 hours touring Phang Nga Bay by speedboat, canoeing through Hong Island caves, visiting James Bond Island and Ko Panyi, then swimming at Naka Noi. Guides such as Cin, Mickey, Sonny, and Sunny have led departures, with lunch, transfers, drinks, and a helmeted cave walk included.

“Was not that good. I was expecting much better according to my previous trip to James Bond Island. The boat was very small and there was many passengers ( we were like sardine on top of each other) once we sit in the boat we wouldn’t be able to see the view of the sea due to the small and high windows. The food was terrible. Sorry I was expecting much better transportation and food. The staff were friendly and provide good services. As I said the boat and the food was terrible. I don’t recommend it.”
