Phang Nga Bay Tour by Speed Boat from Phuket

Phuket, Thailand

Phang Nga Bay is where verdant limestone islands, honeycombed with caves and aquatic grotto's soar perpendicularly to heights of 984 feet or more, from almost perpetually calm waters. Explore Phang Nga Bay by luxury speed boat for a smoother and faster ride in comfort and style.

This tour will include a visit to the Pearl Farm on the island, then you will visit Hong Island and James Bond Island - made famous from the movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Explore the Grotto Caves and navigate amongst the labyrinthine mangrove swamps.

Enjoy a great lunch on Panyee Island or 'Sea Gypsy Village' - a village built entirely on the water. After lunch your tour will take you to Khai Nok Island or Naka Yai Island (depending on the tides) for swimming and snorkeling.

USD $104.46

An absolutely awesome day. Woody, our guide was very helpful and knowledgeable. I have been to Halong Bay in Vietnam before this but this trip was better.

This trip was mind blowing! It was beautiful and absolutely worth the money. Hitting the waves were tough on my back but there was no way around it. We loved this tour.

The boat trip was amazing, perfect amount of ppl on board and saw amazing scenery. However Woody was the reason why the tour was what it was, he's the best tour guide we have ever had. Friendly and full of information, and not just the good, real information about the good and bad, the people, the land and life in Thailand. He made us all feel welcome, relaxed and without him it would have just been another tour. Also it was great that the tour was always about an hour to two ahead of the other tour groups, there were never any crowds and made for an amazing trip. If you get to read this Woody, thank-you so much!! amazing experience

Loved it ! Our guide (Niki) was very friendly and spoke very good english. Loved all the Islands and lunch at Sea Gypsy Village was just amazing.

what a great tour. The guide was very funny and accommodating. There weren't many people on our boat so it was very nice. The scenes were beautiful, and on top of lunch they provided lots of snacks and water. Perfect trip.

Beautiful island, however the tour is boring. Lots of time in between islands, and the food at the floating village wasn't very good. I'm glad I went to see the bay, but I would not do it again.

Well, did a Phang Nga Bay tour, commonly known as the james bond island. I guess the tour was worth it .. since you get to see the beautiful lush green islands one by one when going through the speed boat. If you're a muslim, then the plus of this tour is that the lunch that you get is going to be Halal food since it is served on the Panyee Island which is a village built entirely on the water and the inhabitants are exclusively muslims. If you like swimming and snorkeling then the Phi Phi island tour may be a better choice. As for going through viator, I guess it was done professionally enough. My tour was confirmed by calling my hotel in advance. The tour started and ended on time. The guide was knowledgeable and ok overall. Kidos to the excellent boat driver though. Although you might be able to find the tour at a less price elsewhere.

This is a must to do, the speedboat was one of the best ways to see the cluster of islands in Thailand. James Bond Island was great to see, the guide was informative over what happened where. Meal was nice, the whole experiance is recommended!

Review by: Louise M, United Kingdom	May 2010
Lovely relaxing day out with an excellent guide. Even better as there was only 8 of us on the trip, so we had loads of room to spread out on the boat. Visiting the sea gypsy village was good and amazing to see them using mobile phones and have fully working toilets on this island in the middle of the sea. Visit to James Bond island was good but could maybe do with a little more time to chill out. Definetly worth doing.

Review by: Carmen K, Australia	April 2010
Wonderful day out and a great way to see a lot of things in one day. We would go again!

Review by: Paul M, United Kingdom	March 2010
Another good quality day trip. Amazing day on a speedboat visiting several islands for sunbathing and snorkling. Highly recommended.

Review by: Vivek P, United Kingdom	January 2010
Amazing and a must for those in Phuket! The speed boat was super quick and we pretty much arrived everywhere before the crowds got in. The islands are amazing and James Bond Island was a must see. There was no canoeing on this trip which isn't really something I felt like I missed as the speed boat goes into 2 caves during the trip so you get to see them to an extent, but to be honest its a cave and they all pretty much look the same, for those considering other trips that include canoeing. The guide was great as was the swimming at the end. We arrived before anyone else and left as the slower boats arrived so had the beach to our boat only.

Review by: Jack F, United Kingdom	December 2009
The snorkeling was fairly average and very crowded. Our request for vegetarian meals was not honoured,so whilst they gave us something it wasn't sufficient and much less than the others.

Review by: Allae A, United Arab Emirates	December 2009
This is the tour you need to do while in Phuket, very, very nice, big fun, and you get to see all the islands.

Review by: Derek R, United Kingdom	April 2009
Best and quickest way to get to James Bond Island. Felt safe enough on the speedboat. Well catered for during the trip including soft drinks. Only thing we would say is it is a bit busy, so don't expect to have any secluded time to yourself.

Review by: Peter W, United Kingdom	April 2009
Trip was well organised and enjoyable. The guides took great care of us and did everything possible to make the day special. The snorkeling beach was very crowded and small but there did not appear to be too many alternatives.

Review by: John O, United States of America	January 2009
Great value for money. One of the most spectacular day tours I have ever been on. Great guide, good lunch and FANTASTIC scenery.

Review by: Hendrikus C, Netherlands	November 2008
It was like The Man with the Golden Gun. We had a wonderful day.

Review by: Barry R, Australia	November 2008
This was an amazing trip. The scenery in Phang Nga Bay is just spectacular. There are massive limestone cliffs rising straight up out of the sea, wonderful little secluded spots to stop and have a swim, and of course there's James Bond Island where they filmed The Man With The Golden Gun - simply spectacular. The tour guide was great as well, with all the knowledge of the area, and able to answer any question you might have. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

A must see! Will do it again.

Review by: Anonymous, United States of America	August 2007
We saw everything there was to see in one day. It was a great tour. I recommend the Panyi Island tour and scuba diving.

Review by: Robyn H, Australia	January 2007
Enjoyable. Definitely recommend going by speed boat - you see more and you can go right in close to limestone islands. The floating village was interesting with a nice lunch. Snorkelling after lunch was terrific. A good day overall.

Review by: Alla M, United States of America	December 2006
The trip was very enjoyable. Great boat, nice crew, and the local food and fantastic scenery made it unforgettable. The tour guide gave interesting information about the surrounding islands and touched on historic and cultural aspects of Gipsy Island.

Friendly, enthusiastic and informative guide. Sufficient time at stops, good lunch in picturesque village. An enjoyable day.
