James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay with Canoeing By Big Boat From Phuket

Activity provider: Oh-Hoo

Highlights

  • Canoeing in the beautiful cave and among the mangrove forest.
  • Enjoy swimming
  • Sightseeing and walking tour

The “big boat” in the name is the operative detail — a larger, steadier vessel than the speedboats and long-tails used on the other Phang Nga Bay departures, and one with room to move around on deck. It’s more stable and less bumpy than the smaller craft, which matters if anyone in your group is prone to seasickness, though it trades away some of the manoeuvrability a long-tail has in narrow channels.

Over the 8-9 hour day the boat covers canoeing through caves and mangrove forest, a swimming stop, and general sightseeing around Phang Nga Bay’s limestone karsts. Free round-trip hotel transfer covers a wide stretch of Phuket — Patong, Kata, Karon, Tri Trang, Kathu and Phuket Town are all included at no extra charge, with surcharges applying only for areas further from the pier: 200 THB per person round trip for zones like Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao and Laguna, rising to 1,500 THB per private van for Nai Thon, Nai Yang and Mai Khao. Lunch, an English-speaking guide, travel insurance and on-board refreshments are included in the $48.40 price.

At 4.7 from 13 reviews, the score is strong but the sample is small — worth weighing if a larger review base matters more to you than the raw number.

Watch out: The national park entrance fee — 300 THB per adult, 150 THB per child — isn’t included in the tour price and is paid separately.
