The guide was very good and showed us around explaining all the important bits in good spitit
Our family had the most incredible day visiting James Bond Island in Thailand, and it truly exceeded all our expectations! From the moment we set off into the stunning Phang Nga Bay, we knew this was going to be a special experience. The dramatic limestone cliffs rising out of the emerald-green water looked like something straight out of a movie — which makes sense, as the island became world-famous after appearing in The Man with the Golden Gun. The entire excursion was perfectly organized and very family-friendly. Traveling with children can sometimes be challenging, but everything ran smoothly from start to finish. The boat was comfortable and safe, and there was plenty of space for everyone to relax and enjoy the scenery. What truly made the day exceptional were the guides. They were professional, knowledgeable, and always in a great mood. Their positive energy was contagious! They made sure everyone felt included, safe, and well taken care of at all times. Whether helping the kids in and out of the boat, sharing interesting facts about the area, or taking family photos for us, they went above and beyond to make the experience memorable. The canoeing through hidden lagoons and caves was a highlight for all of us. It felt like stepping into a secret world. Our children were completely fascinated, and as parents, we appreciated how attentive and safety-focused the team was throughout the adventure. Overall, this was a fantastic family outing that we would recommend without hesitation. James Bond Island is breathtaking, but what truly made the trip unforgettable was the professionalism, warmth, and enthusiasm of the guides. It was a perfect mix of adventure, relaxation, and quality family time — a day we will cherish for years to come.
A great day out to some iconic locations. Everything was well organised and great value for money.
A great trip to do. Nikom looked after everyone well. I thought that James Bond Island would be really over rated and over crowded but it wasn’t.
Nice tour and the guide was good at telling along the way and nice that one in a wheelchair could come with on the tour 😃😃 😀 😀 Do the trip again
This was a great activity, monkey temple was the amazing and worth it. James bond island was great. The food was great. Nikon our guide was great.
This was an amazing experience! Took us to so many experiences on one trip. Nikom, our guide, was knowledgeable, kind and very entertaining! Loved it all!
island of james bond a day with visit to the cottages on the water with markets and lunch navigation through the mangroves and visit island of james bond beautiful day to do
Starting from the huge cave with the stalactites and the golden budda lying to the macaques outside the cave then the long tail boat excursion to the stilt village with lunch on one of the restaurants. Then boat again and visit the spectacular James Bond Island with the huge stack and impressive slip fault. The canoe ride inside the caves. Nikom drives it very well.
We both throughly enjoyed our day, we specifically chose this trip / tour as it suited our exact requirements. There is others but we didn’t want time to sun bath, swim in the sea or go snorkelling which others offered. The canoeing part was the highlight for us.
