James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay canoe tour from Phuket
James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay canoe tour from Phuket★★★★★★★★★★ 4.80 (74)6h–7hThis full-day canoe tour from Phuket explores Phang Nga Bay's limestone islands, James Bond Island and two mangrove cave systems by paddle and motorboat, with hotel pickup, buffet lunch on Panyee Island and a swim at Naka Noi beach. Two separate canoe sessions—one through Hong Island's lagoon and another through Mangrove Cave and Diamond Cave—let you paddle into places the larger tour boats cannot reach. The tour runs about six to seven hours and includes an English-speaking guide, soft drinks, fresh fruit and water.Is it for me?Book this tour if you want to paddle into caves and lagoons yourself rather than watch them pass from a larger boat—the two canoe sessions are what set this trip apart from standard Phang Nga Bay sightseeing tours.

The national park fee (300 THB) is paid separately at the pier.Is it for me?Right for travelers staying in Ao Nang who want a private boat and the flexibility to linger at whichever island feels right. Expect a full morning and early afternoon out—the boat leaves at 8:30am and you're back by 3pm, which is what makes four islands possible in one trip.Free cancellationTravelers' pickfrom · per groupUS$ 150View ›

Children from age 10 are welcome; non-certified divers pay an additional 1,000 THB per person.Is it for me?The guide speaks your language—English, Spanish, Italian, French or one of six others—so the safety briefing and underwater commentary are clear without translation. Small groups mean you're not competing for the instructor's attention, which suits divers who want to move at their own pace and feel confident in the water.Free cancellationfromUS$ 169View ›

Life jacket and paddling instruction are included.Is it for me?You paddle the kayak yourself at your own pace, which suits anyone who wants to be in control of the experience rather than watching from a boat—the guide stays close but you set the rhythm. If you're not a strong swimmer or prefer to sit still while someone else navigates, a traditional longtail boat tour would suit you better.Free cancellationTravelers' pick-23%fromUS$ 54View ›

Scuba Diving Racha Yai Island: 4:1 Divemaster Ratio
Scuba Diving Racha Yai Island: 4:1 Divemaster Ratio★★★★★★★★★★ 4.80 (60)8hA scuba diving day trip to Racha Yai Island from Phuket includes hotel pickup, two dives up to 20 meters with a 4:1 divemaster ratio, breakfast and lunch cooked onboard, and access to a covered sundeck. Certified divers, intro divers (no certification needed) and snorkelers all go on the same departure. The boat is the operator's own, staffed by 5-star multilingual guides and an onboard chef.Is it for me?Book this if you want to dive deeper than the usual resort boat allows — the 4:1 ratio and the operator's own boat mean you're not one of a dozen divers on a line, and intro divers can go without certification. If you're certified and want to see wrecks and deeper reefs in one morning, or if you're bringing a snorkeler and want one boat instead of two, this solves both.Free cancellationfromUS$ 90View ›
