★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 3,528 reviews · 10 hours · from $53

Spend 10 hours cruising from Phuket to Panak Island, Hong Island, and James Bond Island on a roomy two-story boat. Local canoe guides take you through caves and quiet lagoons, while guides such as Ohma, Bobby, Tony, and James keep the day moving. Expect buffet lunch, drinks, hotel transfers, and time for swimming.

“Excellent value for the money. Delicious food, incredible entertainment while on the boat, awesome kayaking activities, and the stops were organized and well timed. This trip had it all. Only thing I think should be improved is the transfer from the boat to the james bond island via the large long tail boat. That thing was falling apart and fell unsafe. People had to walk along super narrow edges to get to their seats. Fine for young people but dangerous for older or people with poor mobility or balance. Anyway, best way to spend a day while in Phuket.”

The trip was very well organized and efficient, which allowed us to see and do so many things. Our group was nine people total but Susie did a great job organizing and keeping everyone together.
