Review of Phuket’s luxury James Bond Island catamaran cruise, with cave kayaking, buffet meals, sunset views, water toys, and practical tips.
“I had a fantastic time on this day trip! The tour kept things exciting and always had water and soft drinks available, along with alcohol for purchase. Our first stop featured slides and paddleboards, offering options to swim or jump off the boat. The ride was comfortable, and there were so many beautiful landscapes to admire around us. We also went kayaking—more like a small raft where someone else paddles for you—but it was still very cool. They provided us with a nice buffet lunch and dinner on board. Our final stop at James Bond Island was awesome. We took a wooden longtail boat to shore and had the chance…”

“This tour was the highlight of my trip. Like most tours, it started with feeling like a herd of cattle in a midst of confusion but once we were on our boat, all was good. Our guide Pichi (Peachy?) was full of energy and spoke great English. The sunset was incredible, the activities were spaced out nicely, the food was delicious. We swam with the bioluminscent plankton under the stars. Just magical. I obviously highly recommend this tour.”

Review of Koh Samui’s Pig Island sunset tour, with Koh Tan snorkeling, kayaking, Thai dinner, hotel pickup, price, and practical tips.
“The activity was good. Im just glad we only did one snorkel as it was disappointing for 2 reasons. Clarity was poor and current was strong in the area we went. There was no warning of this and so we were disappointed with the snorkelling. On top of this there were stingy jellyfish larvae in the water and we needed to be hosed down afterwards to prevent ongoing itching and welts. We found swimming from the beach at Koh Samui mostly the same but again werent warned there would be the same. It may have been a seasonal thing but the fact that they ad a hose ready to wash…”
