I had an absolutely incredible experience on the James Bond Island tour! The speedboat ride was thrilling, and the two canoeing sessions through the caves were breathtaking – such a unique way to explore the natural beauty of the area. The guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and made sure everyone was having a great time. The buffet lunch was delicious with plenty of options. Every stop offered stunning views and amazing photo opportunities. Highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an unforgettable adventure in Phuket! 5 stars all the way!

We paid a hefty 32,000 baht for a charter, expecting a better speedboat experience. Unfortunately, the boat we received was a standard speedboat that you could easily find in Rawai Beach for half the price. We were also disappointed with the lack of amenities. The tour only included a buffet lunch with limited options, and no light breakfast or evening snacks were provided. Additionally, when we requested a vegetarian option, it seemed like they had to outsource it and weren't prepared. We recommend booking directly with a boat company instead of going through an agency like this. It's likely you can get a better deal and more personalized service. Overall, we were quite disappointed with the value for money this charter provided.

A very long day. We didn’t realise that the drive from Phuket to the port would take 2 hours each way!!!!! Then 75 mins over on the boat begins first stop. Gorgeous islands and snorkelling was fab but not sure trip was worth the money. Food was awful too. Flies everywhere. Crew were friendly and animated. Would we book again, probably not but nice experience x

A very good experience, you can enjoy the views and relax. I loved it and I really recommend it is a must to be done if you are travelling

The buses for hotel pickups were very comfortable and luxurious. The initial check was very smooth. The meals had limited vegetarian options but were good enough. Love the fact that they give bands which allowed us to find our guide and group easily . The boat was clean and comfortable enough. There was some crowd at the islands but our tour guide managed it very well. Philips was very helpful and also fluent in English which helped ensure we understand the instructions well. Love the fact that they had people supporting those passengers who are not good with swimming for the snorkelling bits. Lunch was also served separately for the vegetarians. Overall a great experience and something I would recommend to anyone going to phuket

Great nature trip (in concept) turned into a miserable experience by dreadful logistics and lack of common sense. Prepare to spend 1-1.5 hours in a bus after getting picked up to get to the departure marina where you'll be dropped off to pay park admission fees. I left my wallet behind not expecting to need it on the trip, but was told that park fees can only be paid in cash or by card. Tour operators and even park cashiers are clueless about payment options. I inquired about ApplePay, but was told that wasn't available. I then pointed at the NFC sign on their payment terminal indicating that it accepts contactless payments. Low and behold, it worked so all the preceding agony with threats of not being able to join the tour without paying the park fees, was for nothing. We then were introduced to our "English speaking" guide. Both her vocabulary and pronunciation were so awful, she must come with subtitles or an interpreter. English is not my native language so I'm entirely cool with accents, but this guide was literally making incomprehensible noises. A parrot could surely be trained to speak more understandably. What a travesty! If you market your tour as English-speaking, this can't be the best the local talent pool has to offer. After the marina, brace yourself for another 1.5 hours on a speed boat jumping up and down on waves like a wild bronco. This may sound like fun but the excitement wears out after about 5 minutes. By the time you arrive to your first stop, you will feel like you took a beating (because your body actually has). Pileh Lagoon is beautiful but don't be fooled by the pretty marketing pictures. Many dozens, if not hundreds, of boats rush into this rather small lagoon during day time and turn it into chaotic mess of boats and people trying to swim literally in between boats and sometimes just meters away from turning propellers. We did not even get in the water at that stop. It felt sub-human. Speaking of longtail boats, these suckers run on diesel. The lagoon is almost fully enclosed by tall cliffs so there's no fresh breeze to whisk it away. The stench of diesel exhaust is unbearable. It felt like spending an hour in a truck depot where all engines are running. It's impossible to enjoy the beautiful scenery around when your nostrils are under constant assault from exhaust fumes but also guests AND crew chain smoking at every stop. Next stop is snorkeling, which was OK. I'm sure there are better reefs than one we anchored at, but fine. Lunch was decent. The bamboo island was the highlight of the trip with amazing water and white sand beaches. I personally would have preferred to drive by the "diesel depot" for pictures and without stopping, but spend more time on the bamboo island. The ride back to the marina was another 1+ hours of body-bruising up and down action. The final nail in the coffin was the ride back to our drop off point, which the tour organizer mapped around driver's convenience so he doesn't get stuck in traffic going home. Our ride back took 2+ hours in stifling traffic and we missed our transfer boat to the island we were staying. For the ~3 hours of actually taking in the sights, you endure 5+ hours of logistical drudgery, inscrutable English, noxious smells and boneheaded organization

Absolutely splendid! The crew were friendly and courteous. It was, for us, a thrilling experience and excellent customer service. I'd highly recommend booking the tour. Venus is a star!

This is a perfect example of how mass tourism can destroy an amazing place on earth. Hundreds of tourists arrive at the beach at the same moment, snorkeling takes place near dead corals. It's a pity that Thailand does not limit the number of tourists in such places, because in a few years there will be nowhere to go and nothing will be left here except a stone on the beach.

Took over three and a half hours to get to the port in the morning and four to get back in the evening. I went twenty five years ago so I was excited to go again. Back then it was a slow boat ride from a jetty close to Patong. Now it’s a nightmare journey stuck in traffic to get there and back. Twenty five years ago we were the only ones there. Today there was twenty speed boats all racing round. Probably about a thousand people on the same small beach. It’s noisy, crowded and the coral has all been damaged. There’s only a few isolated bits remaining at each site. It’s very sad. You’re cattle herded round. Lunch is like a school canteen. Rushed through with no real finesse or style. You’re literally just one in a crowd of hundreds. You can’t get any decent photos of the rock headland that looks spectacular as there’s probably about fifty people all stood around it The authorities would probably be better just stopping people going up there. There’s no reason to. All you do is get the view of a crowded beach. Be better to stop people going up so at least you can get the view and photo from the bottom. They are pretty organised though. You’re given lunch cards and coloured tags. It’s all very rehearsed. It’s not realistic to offer this from Patong. I got picked up at 6am and we got to the islands at 11:30am. Coming back we left at 3:20pm and I got back to the hotel at 8pm. The traffic is a nightmare. And at the end of the day they’ve damaged the reef terribly. Don’t waste your time and money.

Long drive from Patong Beach (2.5 hrs) plus long jet boat ride (1.25 hrs) to Similan Island. Boat had 60 people sitting tightly and they hung life jackets on the chairs which made it more cramped. Two snorkeling sights (40 min each) was actually good clear with many fishes and corals. Lunch was soooo bad. Warm (not hot) Tom Yum soup. Chicken was cold and hard. Only rice was edible. All the customers complained. It’s not the company Phuket Top Tour fault. All the customers from different tour company eat the same lousy food. I hope Phuket Top Tour will tell them to cook better. Also tell them to store the life jackets somewhere else not on seats.

Every time I go to Phuket, I find a variety of food, try it, take pictures as souvenirs. This time too, I found a good restaurant, delicious food, not too expensive.

Took the Seastar catamaran day trip to Similan islands; overall a great day which was excellent experience and value for money; note - paid 7,000Baht for couple. +ve - well organised, effective day, snorkelling very good, fish and variance to see, the island beaches sand and water colour beautiful. -ve - long drive from Phuket to port facility and same for boat journey. Take ear plugs as it's very noisy. Overall very enjoyable and I'd go back with Seastar. Personal note- Don't abuse coral and fish, some people have no respect, learn to snorkel properly

Wow great service we direct booked from Phuket friendly peoples mo hassel no stress but I can recommend if you are in khaolak best way book here

The staff was very kind and the ocean was beautiful. Highly recommend. The time for each island was good. The crystal clear ocean was calm and I had a great time just floating around.

Went with our son who's 21 but no category for that!? Anyway, a great day overall, not for those who don't travel well on water. You will be bouncing over the waves at speed! Something I didn't factor in is that you are definitely not the only boat visiting the fascinating island's, there were literally hundreds of people (Humans aye)🙄 nevertheless the less enjoyed the day, made new friends and swam in bath like temperature water with talcum powder sand. Amazing 👍😃
