This is a 8-hour experience in Phuket, built around Phuket, Speedboat and Samet Nangshe Viewpoint. It is run by Siam Adventure World, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

The price covers Hotel transfers by minivan, Speedboat transfer, National park fee, Tour guide and Canoeing. It does not cover Towel, Drybag and Tips, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Excellent. Definitely recommend getting an early bird trip like this so when you get to the various stops they are uncrowded. Timing was just right at each stop, didn’t feel like we were waiting around for others nor were we rushed. Staff excellent, the whole day was organised very well and I was pleasantly surprised by the food on offer.

Overall, a nice trip. We liked all the places we visited - Samet Nangshe was spectacular, and James Bond Island as well. Seeing the monkeys and walking through the cave was a great experience too. The floating island offered a very delicious buffet lunch, although we expected to spend more time exploring the village. The boat staff took great care of us, with unlimited biscuits and beverages available on board. The only downside was the transportation - it’s definitely better to go from Phuket rather than Khao Lak, as the journey is quite long.

What a fantastic day. You get to see so much on this tour, and every member of staff is friendly and really helps make the experience special. Nothing felt rushed, and each stop was beautiful and absolutely worth visiting. There’s also a photographer on the boat capturing moments throughout the day, and you can purchase the photos at the end. We bought ours and were so impressed — a mix of posed and candid shots that perfectly captured the day. I highly recommend this tour and would happily do it again.

Wonderful day out with varied sights and a terrific beach for swimming at the end. Really well organized, our guide Lucky was great and the crew on the speed boat were really helpful. The early pickup was well worth it! We got to all places before the crowds arrived and could enjoy them in peace and quiet - there was hardly anyone at James Bond island. The kayak trip through the mangroves was unexpectedly a highlight - but it was all fab! Good lunch too. Would thoroughly recommend.

We loved this tour. The early bird timing meant that we beat the crowds. The pacing was good, and the day felt organized without ever being rushed. Our guide, Roberto, was helpful and informative, and such a lovely person to spend a day with.

Brilliant day seeing so much! Speedboat was brilliant but my 6 year old struggled to tolerate this so he did suffer with sea sickness ….. however the guide was brilliant, very caring and excellent with my two children (6 and 10)- we would definitely recommend this trip particularly as we were literally one of the first tours to be at the James Bond Island. We loved the kayaking in the mangroves and the food at the floating village was a very good buffet. The beach at the end was a lovely finish to the day. Overall this is a very good, structured tour.

Excellent - and very full - day. Highly recommend it. The 5am hotel pickup hurt a little bit but having all of these locations practically to ourselves made it absolutely worth it. Very organized and efficient - my fave day in Thailand so far.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes. Hotel pickup in Phuket. Siam Adventure World 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 towel, drybag and tips (optional). 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.

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.

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.
