Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: Phang Nga Bay., Ao Phang Nga National Park Thailand

Phang Nga Bay is one of the most beautiful bays of Thailand. It is famous for its gravity-defying limestone formations. Most travellers visit Ko Khao Phing Kan, that since 1974, when it was featured in the James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun, has been popularly called James Bond Island (see also James Bond tourism). In front of it is Ko Tapu, probably the most characteristic islet of the bay and often seen on tourist brochures.

Duration: 8 hours

Stop At: Koh Panyi (Floating Muslim Village), Ko Panyi Subdistrict, Krabi Town Thailand

Ko Panyi (also known as Koh Panyee) is a fishing village in Phang Nga Province, Thailand, notable for being built on stilts by Malay fishermen. The population consists of 360 families or 1,685 people descended from two seafaring Muslim families from Java.

Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: James Bond Island, Thailand

James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It first found its way onto the international tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. A distinctive trait of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water.

The trip was good driver was on time to get us, the excursion was a little long, but worth it, did multiple things all in one, from the canoeing, to beach, to visit james bond island and we had enough time to do it there and take plenty of photos and was Not crowded at all

The reason why I gave 2 stars and not 1 is because the places we visited were beautiful, the view from the ship was great and the jumping into the water was one of the best parts. On the other hand we arrived nerby the bay way to late and spent half an hour on a viewpoint which was worth for a few pictures. It was so clear that the main purpose behind this was to get customers for the restaurant and hotel at the viewpoint. When the description says it the tour takes approx. 8 hours, that starts from the part when the driver starts to pick up the people. We only left the bay at 11am while the pickup time was at 8:30. But the main reason for the negative review is: the description lies. That is it. Examples: "Experience Southern Thailand’s natural beauty Phuket on this guided excursion. After a convenient hotel pickup, enjoy a boat ride to Ao Phang Nga National Park and marvel at the towering limestone formations featured in “The Man With a Golden Gun.” Stop by a floating fishing village, kick back at Hong Island’s gorgeous beach, and admire the magical scenery at Phang Nga Bay." Start from Phang Nga Bay, visited the James Bond island, had our lunch on the boat, had a canoe trip aroung the rocks of Hong island, jump in the water from the boat and go back to Phang Nga Bay. That's it. The part where it says "Stop by a floating fishing village, kick back at Hong Island’s gorgeous beach" did not happen at all. I was really exited to get to the village and walk around there but no. Nothing. I saw the village from several miles away, small dots in the distance, could recognise the temple based on the images I found on the internet. I was extremely disappointed. I was really exited to see that place and that was the main event for me in this tour. But in the end we did not even go near that place. Also we did not visit any beaches on at Hong island. I mean after missing the village, that was just the top of the iceberg. I am sorry for the negative review but this trip it was partly a disappointment for me.

The guide was good, spoke good English but not much information was given. It’s a 2 hour windy journey from Patong to the boat meeting point, our driver drove extremely fast around windy roads and the minibus was jammed pack and very hot. Driver was also 45 mins late picking up. We then got to the boat and 80-90 people were packed on like sardines to a big boat, only around 3 English tourists inc myself, it was loud and extremely busy with hardly anywhere to sit. We visited James Bond island which is beautiful but extremely touristy (don’t let anyone take photos of you because they will then drag you to their shop and demand you to buy something from them!), we only had around 30 minutes here. Then onto Hong island which is also stunning, there was an option to kanoe around the island or swim. Then back to meet the bus. The tour makes it seem that you visit 3 places, when in fact Phang Nga Bay is where James Bond Island is. Lunch was nice and good selection. Only water and orange juice was included and the water wasn’t kept cold so was warm water.

The cruise with Sea Angel was good and straightforward. The guide Tommy was funny and helpful. The cruise provided chilled drinks throughout the journey and a decent lunch. The top deck AC was not great. Toilets are basic. Visit to each attraction is good with decent time allotted to move about on our own. However, wach attraction is jam packed with tourists.
