Things to do in Ao Por Pier

We had an amazing family trip to James Bond Island! Everything was very well organized from start to finish, making the entire experience smooth and stress-free. The staff were incredibly friendly, welcoming, and always ready to help with a smile. They made us feel comfortable and well taken care of throughout the day.

it was so overwhelming, this tour is a must do when in Phuket. the tour guide was very professional and the whole crew was amazing. The beat part, they puck you up and drop you off at your hotel. I really enjoy this tour. The views of the islands was just speechless and the cave was very beautiful, but also very low just be mindful of the cave if your claustrophobic.

it was fun and nice. just a the weather not in a “good mood”. the tour guide and his intern are good.

A wonderful adventure! Everything was excellent. Especially noteworthy are the kayak trip through the sea caves and the lagoons that open up after that path. Also, there will be many islands during the trip.

Each team (2 people) is assigned one guide. Our guide was Boogie, and he was incredibly kind. While kayaking, he taught us about various natural creatures. Dinner, enjoyed with the stunning scenery of James Bond Island, was absolutely fantastic. And of course, the lunch served right upon arrival was great too. After dinner, we made Krathongs to make wishes, and the one Boogie and I made together was the prettiest. The plankton was also incredibly beautiful. As a student, I was too poor to give a tip, but I really wanted to give one to Boogie.

Awesome to see elephants up close and free to roam where they wish under the overall guidance of their mahout. There is no touching of the elephants here which I was worried how close we could actually get to them. I did not need to worry, i got everything out of the tour I wanted all while respecting the elephants.

We were very lucky that the hotel pickup started on time, even arriving early. We then headed to Royal Phuket Marina for a pre-trip briefing (drinks and snacks were provided, and towels could be rented for free). Although it was the low season, the boat was full. We stopped at each spot for at least 30-60 minutes, allowing plenty of time for photos. The famous James Bond Island wasn't the best experience due to the crowds. However, the two beaches where we could swim and the kayaking experience at Hong Island were fantastic. Isabelle and the boat staff were all great. Water and snacks were always available on the boat, and there was fruit before returning to the pier. I would definitely like to join other SAWANU day tours in the future. Lunch was very basic, just enough to fill us up, haha.
