Phang Nga Bay Sea Cave Canoeing & James Bond Island by Big Boat - From Phuket hotel pickup to Ao Po Pier

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

Review of Phuket’s Phang Nga Bay canoeing tour, with cave paddles, James Bond Island, lunch, swimming, costs, timing, and practical tips.

“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.”

At the beginning it took me some time to adjust to the bike, Chai was very patient and easygoing. The second part of the journey was way easier and fun, Chai took all the photos and videos 😌🙌The Big Buddha is under reconstruction so it’s not possible to get close to it, but the view from the top was absolutely amazing and worth going for. A refreshing coconut made it even better :)”

“This was a great experience. Lucky was funny and nice. Lucky also taught us a lot about the culture while we stopped at many different shops to eat. We went in back alleys to places I normally wouldn’t venture to as a tourist. Not because I don’t want to, but because it probably wouldn’t come up when I google “best places to eat in Phuket” lol. I really enjoyed myself. I ate sooo much food. And everything was delicious.”
