What is Travelers’ Choice?
Tripadvisor gives a Travelers’ Choice award to accommodations, attractions and restaurants that consistently earn great reviews from travelers and are ranked within the top 10% of properties on Tripadvisor.
Many travelers feel disappointed by standard James Bond Island tours. Crowded and touristy, they spend 3–4 hours driving round the bay and back rather than cruising direct from Ao Nang. This speedboat tour lets you jet straight across the bay from Ao Nang, see James Bond Island from the water, then beat the crowds to the Hong Islands—with lunch on the beach as well.

        This tour was truly an amazing experience! Our tour guide Sakee was so knowledgeable and fun— couldn’t have asked for a better tour guide! Cannot recommend this tour enough if you want to explore Krabi and the surrounding islands.

        Best tour in Thailand
        Best tour in Thailand with Stephane and Seen. The tour was organised so well and it was all done professionally. The boat ride was smooth and the timing of the visits were planned to perfection. This is the tour you need to do on Phi Phi islands. The guides were so so nice and arranged EVERYTHING! They even had lunch prepared on the beach which was cute. Made my trip!

        Memorable trip to Phi Phi and surrounds
        Great experience, we got to maya beach early so that we could see this and then find a quieter beach to snorkel from. Our guide Sakee helped us find the beautiful parrot fish and clams. She was super helpful and lots of fun. Made the tour!

        Breathtaking!
        We had an incredible time on the Full-Day Phi Phi Islands Tour with Lunch from Krabi! The entire day was so well-organized, and our tour guides, Stefan and Bella, were absolutely amazing. They were super friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure everyone had a great experience. The islands were breathtaking, and we loved every stop—crystal-clear waters, stunning beaches, and plenty of opportunities to swim and snorkel. Stefan and Bella shared interesting facts about the area and made sure we were comfortable and safe throughout the trip. The lunch provided was delicious and offered a great variety of options to enjoy while taking in the beautiful surroundings. We’d highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Krabi—it was such a memorable experience, and Stefan and Bella made it even better!

        Great trip, early start. Quite busy at some of the stops. Get a breakfast box from your hotel if you’re not keen on Thai food! Our guide was very good, excellent English and informative. We had a fun day.

        Don’t miss an amazing day with Thalassa Tour 4 island trip!
        We had a great time with Thalassa Tours 4 island sunset trip. Stéphane, AEK and Super, our tour guides, were all amazing. We had a ride over to the boat dock and met up with the rest of the group. It was a warm day but there were plenty of cold drinks on the boat. We took a quick boat ride (a speed boat gets you places quick so you have more time to enjoy the sights and activities) over to Railey East beach and walked over to Railey West and Princess Cave - where we did some swimming. Our guides told us all about the history of the area and gave us tips on what else we should see on other days after our tour. We were back to the boat and they changed the itinerary up a bit to take advantage of the weather for snorkeling. We saw so many fish - Sergeant Majors, Black Nemos, Andaman sweetlips, a sea Krait and a few giant puffers! It was great. The guides were in the water with us to point everything out. We then went to Chicken island for some photos and then to a beautiful beach for dinner and sunset. The dinner was great. Several types of traditional Thai food and they even catered a vegetarian option for Leslie which was awesome. Stephane took photos during sunset of each of us and the group and even took time to send them to us later. We finished our trip in the dark to swim with bioluminescent plankton. When waving your hands under water they light up momentarily. After that it was a quick ride back to the boat dock. We even got several more recommendations of other activities to do while in Krabi. It was a great trip, a shout out to our guides who made us feel like family.

        Fantastic day out
        This tour was amazing!! We started early and got to Maya beach before the crazy crowds (though there were still lots of people there). This tour was pretty snorkeling heavy; we made two stops of about an hour each. We saw a shark, turtle, a lion fish, giant clams, a sea snake, clownfish, and a moray eel in addition to a ton of other fish. I really loved this aspect, but if you're looking for more of a lay around on the beach day, then you might want to choose the Hong Island tour. For lunch, we stopped at Bamboo Island where you can enjoy the beach (though it's quite crowded, and the sand wasn't as nice as other places we went). The crew is great and friendly - would highly recommend.

        Snorkeling and swimming in the Phi Phi Islands
        This tour was very nice! The tour guides were very easy to communicate with in English, and there was also a huge Spanish speaking group on our trip and I know one of the tour guides was good at Spanish too. The boat was very nice and clean. The trip as a whole seemed very organized. There was not enough seats inside the boat under the canopy for everyone, but the boat was very spacious in general and the front, which was outside in the sun, was very nice with a good amount of space. I liked the route we went on as well, as it made sense. We got to Maya Bay on the earlier side and beat a lot of the crowd. I absolutely loved the lagoon! The lagoon was hands down my favorite part and the most beautiful, though it seemed like we didn’t stay very long there. I think if I could have changed anything I would have spent less time in some of the other areas and less time snorkeling, and I would spend more time at the lagoon or a different beach of Phi Phi. I was personally unaware when I booked that most stops on the tour were not land accessible. I’m not sure why when I booked I thought that each stop was going to be more like Maya Bay where you get off onto a beach. I would say most of the stops are in the middle of the ocean where you get off the boat to snorkel or swim. Because of this I didn’t get many pictures as we were busy having too much fun in the water! We had a lot of fun snorkeling and swimming around. Overall, a very good group tour!

        Awesome Tour, lovely team!
        We had such a wonderful tour with Bella, Stéphane and the rest of the team. There were many different languages spoken by the guests so it was great we had guides who could speak multiple languages and relate to everyone. The places they took us to were amazing, both guides so knowledgable about the areas but also gave us interesting and fun anecdotes about their lives here too, which really brought life to the experience. We’d fully recommend this tour and were really impressed by how dedicated the team were not only to making it so fun but also making it a safe and secure experience for everyone, especially those who weren’t as confident in the water as we were, as they made sure everyone made the most of their experience. 10/10 - thanks guys! ☺️

        Amazing!
        Realy had a splendid time!! The fact that Egi and Mark planned ahead so we could beat the crowds made it worth getting to the meeting spot early to enjoy the magnificent unspoiled natural beauty of Maya Bay, Phi Don Don and a host of other islands! The lunch was delicious and satisfying (plenty for everyone to enjoy) I was able to capture really awesome video and photos courtesy of Mark that are my best souvenirs from Thailand 🇹🇭. There was no rushing , you had time to take it all in relax, and engage. Mark and Egi are excellent host, (ALSO, recognition to El Capitán, navigating all of us to multiple locations. )thorough at explaining, the significance of each landmark, and destination while accommodating people in Spanish and English. This is the best excursion, hands down , as a solo traveler meeting people from different cultures while sharing the experience with awsome hosts makes it e even more memorable!💜 🇹🇭,🇦🇺, 🇲🇽, 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿, 🇺🇸, 🇪🇸, 🇭🇳 🇵🇦. Thourly enjoye my tour!

      First off, our tour guide was Oliver. He is half Swiss, half thai, and genuinely wants everyone to have a great time. First thing he noted upon our arrival is that we won the veggie lottery: we had 6 vegetarian/vegan guests on our tour of 8 people! There were absolutely tons of options for food and plenty of it which was great. When the food isn’t the reason for the trip it can be easy to forget, but having so much to choose from makes a huge difference to guests with normally limited choices. Which doesn’t include myself personally but I can appreciate it.

      We took pictures at James Bond Island and Oliver made it clear that it’s always busy so we wouldn’t bother stopping there. In fact, he would take us to a lot of secluded, quiet areas and was constantly notifying us of the dynamic nature of the itinerary based on weather and tides. At the end of the trip he asked if we would prefer to go snorkelling, or hang out at a lagoon so it was great that he took a poll and engaged with us. We opted to snorkel and ended up seeing a family of clownfish and some many other great fish swimming all around us. They definitely know the best spots to take people.

      The only thing I can think of worth improving would be the time it would take to get to those islands... but what are they supposed to do about it? It’s already a super fast boat. In conclusion: there isn’t anything I would change, and I would like to thank the guides for being so invested in the experience. Other guides can often “check-out” of tours where it feels very “by the books”, but this one did not feel that way. Would happily do another tour with Oliver and crew again in the future.

      Absolutely fantastic! What a great day trip! Our tour guides made sure we got the most out of the day despite some tide issues here and there. And the speed boat was a beauty too. To begin with, they took us to a nice spot for snorkeling, I being a complete noob in the sea had apprehensions (even with a life jacket) but our tour guides Sakee and Stephan made sure that I was well taken care of as they guided me throughout the snorkeling area. Then we went to a surprisingly deserted spot, a lagoon, which was perfect for a swim amidst the mangroves that surrounded us. Afterwards we stopped at a newly opened island Koh Yao Yoi (I might have gotten the name wrong) - the sandy beach and a picture perfect small island that you see in paintings was brilliant. Later on we did a bit of a water trek, seemed like we were on an episode of lonely planet as we went to yet another location where after following our guides, navigating through the vegetation came to a spot where we saw (I won't ruin the surprise) some fantastic creatures. Later we chilled at yet another isolated island where we had a wonderful barbecue with chicken, tuna, octopus etc. on the menu and yes the food was great too. A perfect blend of relaxation and adventure (I'm sure I have missed out on a bunch of other things since we did such a lot, oh yeah, clicking pictures at James bond island of course etc.) .. highly...highly recommended. Great job guys!

      Dear Samarth, thank you for your detailed review its much appreciated, we are glad that you liked our program and that you could enjoy the islands without people, we always try to avoid the crowds as much as possible, and on the James Bond tour many of the spots we visit we are alone or almost alone, glad also to know that you enjoyed the BBQ at the beach and we are looking forward for next one with you!

      We thoroughly enjoyed this tour, even though we had a rainy day on the boat. Pedro the main guide and the other guide Miaow (hope I’ve spelt that right) made the trip a really good day out. They were informative, helpful and very focused on safety. The boat hands were also very friendly and helpful-would definitely recommend Thalassa Tours.

      So pleased to have found Thalassa Tours
      One of the best experiences we’ve had , getting to see and do only what experienced and knowledgeable guides would know
      Our tour guides were fantastic - Him and Stephane were exceptional
      Stephane goes out of his way to make your day extra special and make sure we had a great time
      I made Stephane aware It was my sister in laws birthday on the day at short time and he produced bottles of sangria, gave everyone a glass and got everyone to sing happy birthday to her in English and Spanish
      My family rated him our best guide from all of the tours we did in Thailand.
      The scenery was fantastic and the food was great too. We had a brilliant

      Jorge and Cal were the best part of the tip. Did a great job handling a big group and added lots of little special touches! The only downside to this trip was it advertises 12 persons and there were 18 people on ours. My husband and I had been jaded by the "private" tours because of a few others that were advertised that way and turned out to be 40 people crammed on a boat and the tour was touristy and horribly BUT even with the additional 6 people added to this tour it was great! They really made it seem private and indivualized!

Regarding the maximum number of people on board, we are sorry if you read somewhere that we put only 12 people, but the information is transparent in our website and as stated on the section ADDITIONAL INFORMATION on Trip Advisor, depending on the tour we put between 15 to 17 people maximum (but depending on the time of the year you come, you can find less people on board) Could be possible that you read this at other website? Anyway we are glad that you appreciate the work of our guides and I personally enjoyed very much with you, All the best

      I did 2 tours with Thalassa and I'm extremely satisfied with their service. I specifically booked them because of what they advertised as "semi-private" and they have stayed true to their word. Because it's only a small group, it felt very personalised and you also end up getting to know the other passengers. For the Phi Phi tour, I felt that we spent most of our time on the boat looking at points of interest. I think it's really hard to avoid the hoards of people for Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon unless you book a private tour and go really early. I appreciated snorkeling as group because it made me feel safe and we were shown where to find the moray eel and other fish. I especially enjoyed (and preferred) the Hong Island tour. We were shown lots of islands and there was plenty of opportunity to swim without feeling rushed because it's less touristy. I want to give a special mention to Deem and Stephane who went above and beyond what is required. I have lots of great photos because of Stephane which is greatly appreciated because I was a solo traveller. The guides on both tours really looked after me and everyone else. They may be priced higher than the other companies but you do get what you pay for!

      Day tours in Krabi are plentiful, and you could be forgiven for thinking they're all about the same — rickety wooden boats, loud diesel engines, large groups being herded along.

      If you're in the market for something more refined, however — something that delivers laid-back fun in locations that knock your socks off, with guides who are a true joy to spend time with — then look no further, this is the tour for you.

      The excursion organized by Thalassa Tours, run by Sakee and Stephane, is a true cut above the rest. These two make a great team, and provide a small-group experience that goes well beyond the ordinary. They take you, via modern, comfortable speedboat, to hidden gem island locales that most other tours do not. Scenic beaches well timed to avoid the typical tourist hordes. Lush mangrove enclaves, all to yourself, surrounded by towering karst limestone cliffs that will take your breath away (Koh Roy). Plus numerous other spots, all brimming with the beauty & majesty of nature, to fill out the day.

      Sakee & Stephane are both personable and charming, with a knowledge and passion for the locations & environment, that will make your time with them a joy. As a bonus — and this is no small thing — they have a flair for taking photos that pop! They find the angles — sometimes without you even knowing it — that make your whole crew look fabulous. An absolute treat!

      Really can't say enough good things about this tour. Locations, Guides, Equipment, Support Staff, Timing — all come together for experience that you won't soon forget. A++ to the whole Thalassa team — we're already looking forward to next time!

      We booked onto this the night before and it was super well organised, we met in Ao nang at the start and dropped at our hotel at the end. The tour was super well organised, took us to all of the amazing spots such as Hong beach and James Bond island and the guides we had (Julio and Sakee) were amazing and so much fun! The Thai lunch we had on the beach was fabulous and we had soft drinks provided. We had a few issues on the day including some bad weather and a fault with the boat but even this didn’t dampen the day, in a way it made it more fun! Each location we had the right ammount of time there and we would recommend this trip 100% to anyone wanting to do a tour 🙂

      The guides were incredible (Marc and Tuna), concerned, attentive, very well-disposed and ready to take a photo. They gave explanations in English and Spanish. We escaped the large concentration of tourists. I highly recommend this excursion with them, especially because the boat takes up to 17 people, which restricts the group, the difficulty in moving around on the boat, and the delay in leaving or entering. I went on other excursions with other companies where it was horrible to go among 50 people. I loved

      We took this excursion and the experience could not be better. The excursion was very complete, since in addition to visiting the islands, we also snorkeled next to the red island, a beautiful place to see marine fauna and flora. I would also like to put emphasis on our guides Marc and Sakee and the crew, who in addition to being charming, explaining wonderfully and answering all our questions, demonstrated great expertise in avoiding a storm by modifying the order of the visits on the fly ( without missing out on what was planned) and taking us to an island protected by rocks to have lunch in complete safety and tranquility. In addition to this, we returned hours later to a place where the tide did not allow us to enter first.
      In short, congratulations to this team for their great work and for the great day they made all the participants of the excursion have. 100% recommended
