We had the best day ever. From start to finish the staff were so enthusiastic and welcoming. Nina our main guide couldn’t do enough for us whenever we asked her something. So many lovely stops in one day, lovely lunch and some fun swimming to finish it off. Such value for money when you think that from start to finish it was 13.5 hours. I can’t highly recommend this tour and SeaStar enough and would definitely use them again.

Es war rundum wunderschön! Die Tour wurde perfekt organisiert und es gab von einer bunten Unterwasserwelt, erstaunlichen Tropfsteinhöhlen, paradiesischen Inseln und einem kulturellen Stopp auf der schwimmenden Insel alles zu sehen. Durchweg gab es Getränke, Snacks, Obst und zum Mittag ein leckeres Buffet. Einfach toll!

If you stay in Khao Lak I would not recommend. Trip started very poorly with a very long car ride (yes we were informed a day before). The breakfast was poor, mainly biscuits and drinks and the term all inclusive is VERY misleading as this trip provides the same as any long trip in Thailand which is one full meal, snacks (just biscuits), and water and cola. The company providing (SeaStar) this is very big, so expect mass tourism. Trip was saved by nature and nice crew. The problem is that it was not what we were expecting by the name at all.

This trip was great, we had a lot of fun and the lunch buffet was lovely. We even got to see monkeys on one of the beaches which was an unexpected bonus. However, be warned - the locals on Panyee floating village and the stalls at James Bond Island are extremely aggressive in their attempts to force you to buy their goods. They were grabbing me by the arms and yelling at us when we tried to walk away. I wouldn't let this put you off going though, just be prepared.

This was a great experience. We were picked up on time with nice air conditioned can, however other people from other pick ups didn't turn up on time, so we had to wait ages for them. this then left us short in time to get to the boat. It was clear the taxi driver had to make up time, and our journey to the boat which was 2 hours, was a bit uncomfortable. When we got to the pier, everything was very organised. Our guide Sara, was very informative and we felt safe being in her hands. We were given coffee and food on arrival at the pier. The trip was so much fun, the scenery is breathtaking. The

I recently experienced a well-organized trip, and everything ran so smoothly! The stops along the way were simply fantastic, offering incredible experiences. I was truly impressed by how attentive and friendly the entire team of guides (Nina, Gi Gi, Captain Bouy and his crew and last bit not least Mr Photographer) were, making the journey even better. The refreshments provided were a perfect touch, keeping everyone refreshed and energized. Overall, it was a top-notch experience from start to finish! 💯

Der Ausflug war in Summe sehr schön. Leider erfolgte die Abholung am Hotel mit 30min Verspätung. Das Schnorchelgebiet war leider nicht so toll. Die Insel Khai hat einen tollen Sand. Warum auch immer wird der an Land gespülte Schmutz nicht weg geräumt (sehr schade) und für den "Liegestuhl" am Strand möchte man 150 Baht je Person haben - sehr schlecht. Die James Bond Insel ist toll, die schwimmende Stadt sehr schön und die Kajakfahrt einfach fantastisch!

een super leuke activiteit. De busrit was voor ons best pittig maar dat is een beetje de reistijd merken wij. d De activiteit was super georganiseerd, hele leuke guides, leuke sfeer en ze deden er alles naar om het iedereen naar zijn of haar zin te maken met duidelijke regels en afspraken. Er was een goede planning en alles was heel goed ingevuld. Het snorkelen had van mij op meer plekken gemogen of verder maar er is gewoon heel veel te zien. Ik zou dit iedereen aanraden! echt genieten van begin tot eind!

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. Discover Thailand confirms your pickup time and the exact spot once the booking is in. The collection window is usually a little wider than a fixed minute, because the driver is working a route around several hotels.
The price does not cover optional: extra activities at khai island or drinks not listed in the tour description (to be paid in cash to the local vendor). Everything it does cover is listed in full on this page, so if something is not on that list, budget for it separately.
Not in rough sea. The Andaman side is calm from November to April and choppy from May to October, when the marine office can close the piers at short notice; if that happens the operator moves you to the next day or refunds in full. Seasickness tablets the night before help on speedboats, and Maya Bay itself closes to visitors in August and September each year.
We confirm your booking with the operator before we treat it as final, and we need at least one day's notice. Once it is confirmed you get the meeting point, the time and a contact number for the day. If the operator cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

The duration of the James Bond, Panyi and 5 Islands Tour with Canoeing is typically 9 hours. We recommend arriving 15 minutes before the scheduled start time for a smooth check-in. Your guide will meet you at the designated meeting point and ensure the experience runs on schedule while remaining flexible to your pace.
For most experiences, we highly recommend an early morning start. This allows you to avoid the midday heat, bypass the largest crowds, and capture the best lighting for photography. Your guide can advise on the optimal timing based on the season and specific attractions included.
Yes, once your booking is completed via our secure payment gateway, you will receive an instant confirmation email with your tour details, meeting point address, guide's name, and direct contact information. You can also view and manage your booking through your AsiaByLocals account dashboard.
Yes! All our private tours are fully customizable. Whether you want to add extra stops, skip certain locations, change the pace, or adjust the start time — simply let your guide know in advance or on the day. We aim to create a personalized experience tailored to your interests and energy level.
We offer free cancellation up to 24 hours before the scheduled start time for a full refund. Cancellations within 24 hours may be subject to a partial charge depending on the tour type. Weather-related cancellations for outdoor and boat tours are handled on a case-by-case basis, with full refunds or free rebooking offered when safety is a concern.
Most of our experiences are family-friendly and suitable for children of all ages. However, some tours involving extensive walking, water activities, or early morning starts may be better suited for children aged 5 and above. Please check the specific tour description for age recommendations, or contact us for personalized family itinerary advice.

Many hold government-issued tourism licenses, university degrees in history or cultural studies, and have years of experience leading tours for international travelers. Every guide maintains a minimum 4.5-star rating to remain active on our platform.
The dry season from November to April offers the best weather for island-hopping tours and beach activities. December to March is peak season with calm seas, perfect for Phi Phi and Phang Nga Bay boat trips. May to October (monsoon) is quieter and cheaper but some boat tours may be affected by rough seas. See our Phuket travel guide for detailed month-by-month advice.
Phuket is one of Southeast Asia's safest tourist destinations with excellent infrastructure, friendly locals, and a strong tourist police presence. Standard precautions apply: use reputable transport, stay aware in crowded areas, and book verified tours through trusted platforms. For water activities, all our tours include safety equipment and experienced crew.
The top experiences include: the Phi Phi Islands for snorkeling and Maya Bay, Phang Nga Bay for dramatic limestone cliffs and James Bond Island, the Big Buddha for panoramic views, Wat Chalong temple, and the charming Phuket Old Town for street food and Sino-Portuguese architecture. See our things to do guide for the complete list.
Yes! Direct flights between Phuket and Bangkok take just 1 hour 20 minutes. We recommend 3–4 days in Phuket for island tours, then 2–3 days in Bangkok for temples, markets, and street food. Our local guides operate in both cities for seamless trip planning.
We strongly recommend comprehensive travel insurance covering water sports before booking any speedboat tour or island-hopping excursion. While all our boats carry safety equipment and licensed crews, Thai hospital costs can be significant without coverage. Ensure your policy covers emergency medical evacuation and water activity accidents.
