James Bond Island tour with Sawanu Travel. - Day tour to James Bond Island with Sawanu Travel aboard the newest boat in their fleet, Lexi 4.

Fabulous Day Trip! - Originally booked a James Bond Island trip with a company called See Sea Blue. After reading the terrible reviews we cancelled and re- booked with Sawanu. I’m so glad we did as we had an amazing day. The trip started from The Royal Phuket Marina. We were greeted by our guide Tea who gave us a brief outline of the tour and then took us to our speed catamaran Lexi ll. A fairly new craft. We visited a number of islands for sun bathing and swimming however the highlights were the canoeing and of course James Bond island. Everything was well organised and we were well looked after by the crew with regular soft drinks and fruit. A special mention for Tea who was so attentive, informative and amusing. We were so glad we changed trips. The lunch was adequate although in a a nice restaurant. But do not expect the best Thai cuisine!! But it did the job! Overall, highly recommended and you would not be disappointed. It pays to read reviews BEFORE booking.

Amazing - Sawanu Travel is highly professional. We had a fantastic time visiting Phuket’s James Bond Island. The staff was amazing, and we couldn’t recommend them enough. The food was great, and we even stopped by a few islands on the way there. The tour guide was professional, providing an amazing travel experience with Sawanu.

FYI - James Bond Island Tour - Great trip out to James Bond Island - 12/6/24, Lexi #3. Fantastic boat crew and particularly our guide FaFa. We had enough time at each island however make sure you eat lunch quickly so you have enough time to explore the floating village. ** BUT, with the good there are always some small things. *Pickup from hotel - was advised for between 8.45am - 9am, we got a call to our hotel room at 8.15am tell us we had to hurry as they were here to pick us up. *DON’T be fooled by their warning signs telling you to buy their 400THB reef shoes at the checkin at the Marina, you absolutely DO NOT NEED! We realised this when we got out to the first island and decided not to unbag/wear… Unfortunately the company was not willing to refund us on our return even though the shoes had not been worn/unpackaged. Disappointing end to an otherwise great day.

Poorly planned trip + Inedible lunch - Where do we start? The program says we will head to Hong island for canoeing then James Bond island. Instead we started from a beach and stuck there for 45 minutes in scorching sun. There was literally nothing to do, nowhere to escape the sun, if you want to sit down somewhere without getting your butt burn sitting on the sand was to buy a chair. 50 bhat- no biggie but the fact that we were stuck there for doing nothing for 45 mins was frustrating. And as soon as you sit down you will be harassed by hundreds of little flies stinging face and legs. Absolutely horrendous. I was literally exhausted by the time we left the island before even get to the James Bond island. The guide condescendingly inform me that there’s a program and we must respect the program- well, your program says we start with canoeing not “getting stuck in an island for 45 mins in the unforgiving sun and hundreds of flies”. How’s that a nice start of the program? I’ve done enough group tours in the past to know that this was a case of bad planning by the agent. The program is canoeing first (start high and winding down towards the end of the program) not wasting time and excitement on a “nothing to do” island as a start of the program. So get your story right, Mr Guide. I really wasn’t going to write a review as we are on a holiday and every hour is precious for us and taking my time out to write this negative review is rather draining and looking back. But it was the lunch that really got me. Lunch is provided - are you kidding me? This was a dog’s breakfast- there’s no other way of saying it. The food was simply inedible and we are taking about Thailand- mother of cheap food in abundance. We were not in a pit stop in the middle of nowhere lunch place where all you can have is inedible fried rice and overcooked spaghetti with some god knows what tomato purée as a sauce. We are in Phuket and you provide that as a lunch? Are you kidding me? We were too hungry so I was going to eat anything at that time but the pathetic state of the so called lunch was infuriating. I attempted to have Tom Yum soup but as soon as I took a ladle the fish odour was too much to bear- how do you mess up Tom Yum soup? How unfresh bad fish to take to make the soup absolutely inedible? It would be an effort to make the dishes this bad. Lastly, Mr Guide, please drop your accent. I can see you’re imitating Liverpool/ Manchester accent but it makes your communication really unclear and hard to understand. Most local Thai speaks good English- no fake accent and we never had any issues with staff or vendors in general. Because of this fake accent your English sounds pretty bizarre. Just speak in your natural way, occasionally pops up when you don’t do your fake accent. It’s clearer communication.
