6.James Bond Island Day Trip by Speed Boat with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 2,081 reviews · 7h 30m · from $65

Explore James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay caves, sea kayaking, Panyee village, lunch, and a beach stop on Phuket’s lively speedboat tour.

“It was a lovely experience. Jimmy is really great and kind person,like most of the Thai people we have met. He even tried to teach the group most used words "hello" and "thank you" in Thai. We were not a big group which I liked and we had more time to spend on some stops,unlike the Phi Phi Island trip,where everything was in a hurry. This is my personal opinion. I prefer to enjoy the Islands. We finished our trip with an hour stop on Coconut Island - perfect time to enjoy this small,private beach. I highly recomment Jimmy and this adventure club for everyone who prefer small groups.”

“Everything was great from the beggining to the end. The pick up was on time,the check in went smoothly but the boat ride was bumpy.. today the sea was kinda windy so we had huge waves and a rough ride. Our tour guide was Mr. Sexy Goodies who made the trip perfect and extra sexy but the whole crew was super friendly,funny any helpful. The islands are breathtaking with crystal clear water,white sandy beaches,lush greenery and lively wildlife. We saw huge crabs,baby sharks,colorful fish and playful monkies. I’d defo reccommend this sexy tour with sexy jumps,sexy snorkeling and sexy people ! ☺️”

Review of Phuket’s Phi Phi and Maya Bay speedboat trip, with snorkeling, three meals, hotel pickup, SUP, and practical advice on costs and crowds.

“The trip was really well organised and the guide, Nas, was amazing and suoer fun. Maya Bay is one of the most beautiful places I have ever been. We also took the long tale boat which was the absolute highlight of the whole experience and I highly recommend taking it even though there an extra fee. We opted for the shared long tale boat ride and still everyone had plenty of time to take photos and enjoy it. Overall it was also a great value for money. Although I must say that at times the trip felt a bit rushed and the places we visited were crowded, but this was…”

12.From Phuket or Khaolak : Similan Islands Day Trip

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 793 reviews · 10 - 13 hours · from $99

Review of the Similan Islands day trip from Phuket or Khaolak, with snorkeling, beaches, Thai food, costs, timing, and practical advice.

“A fantastically well-organised programme of activities. We felt so well looked after by Cella and the other guides who made sure we had everything we needed throughout the day - 3 meals provided and many snacks and drinks, with thoughtful additions like boiled sweets for any sea sickness on the boat. The islands were absolutely stunning and we loved the snorkelling. The only thing we’d change would be to go at an earlier time when it might be less busy with other visitor boats, for more of a chance to see the sea turtle! But all in all a 5 star day, thank you to Cella and the team!”

Review of Koh Samui’s pink dolphin, Koh Tan snorkeling, and Pig Island day trip, with practical advice on value, timing, wildlife, and sea conditions.

“great, enjoyed the pig island alot. the pigs were super chill and the beach was so beautiful, really loved it, sadly didn't get to see pink dolphins but just picked an unlucky day where they didn't appear as the day before they appeared. snorkelling was super fun, visibility wasn't amazing but that's due to the storm the day before, but overall would love to go to the pig island again as it was the highlight, it was amazing, would highly recommend wearing shorts as you have to tread the water alot up to your thighs to get onto the boat and the island”

“Maya Bay Aufenthalt war okay, hätte der zweite Tagespunkt sein sollen. War bei uns zum Schluss. Schnorchelplätze waren katastrophal, da das Wasser zu tief und zu dunkel war. Aufenthalten Monkey Beach und Ko Phi Phi viel kürzer als angegeben. Khai Nai Aufenthalt zu lange gewesen gleich zu Beginn. Verpflegung war in Ordnung.”
