The Phuket James Bond Tour by Pickup Area
Where you stay on Phuket changes the price of a James Bond Island tour: free pickup zones, 100 to 300 baht surcharges, options priced by area and areas served only privately, tour by tour, from Patong to Mai Khao and Cape Panwa (November 2026).
A Phuket James Bond tour costs a different amount depending on where your hotel is. Most days collect free from the west-coast beaches and Phuket Town, then add a cash surcharge, a dearer option or no pickup at all for Cape Panwa, Sirey Bay and the far north. For most of the island the day with the widest free zone is James Bond, Phang Nga Bay and Hong Island Tour from Phuket by The Thai Tourism Company, from US$48 on promotion, usually US$51 a person (checked November 2026): free pickup from Rawai, Nai Harn, Chalong, Kata, Karon, Tri Trang, Patong, Kalim, Kamala, Surin, Bang Tao, Laguna and Phuket Town, and US$50.57 by big boat or US$59.55 by speedboat on the three dates we checked.
On top comes the 300-baht park fee for each foreign adult, cash at the pier.
The price ladder, area by area
Four days with clear pickup terms, read for one adult on 26 Nov 2026 and 20 Jan 2027:
| Where you stay | The Thai Tourism Company | Oh-Hoo's big boat | BJ Canoeing Tour Co.,Ltd. | Thrilling Thai Tours' longtail |

One adult; The Thai Tourism Company’s two programs cost US$50.57 (8 hours) and US$59.55 (9 hours) on 26 Nov 2026, 20 Jan 2027 and 24 Mar 2027; the other prices are each tour’s options on 26 Nov 2026 and 20 Jan 2027. Surcharges are in baht, in cash to the driver. “Not named”: the area is not in the tour’s lists. The park fee is extra on The Thai Tourism Company’s, Oh-Hoo’s and Thrilling Thai Tours’ days and included on BJ Canoeing Tour Co.,Ltd.’s. Checked November 2026.
Read across a row before you read down a column. From Patong, Kata or Karon every one of the four collects you, and on 26 November the longtail day was the cheapest of them. From Sirey Bay, Cape Panwa or the north the choice narrows quickly.
The far north and the east
The northern beaches are where the free zones run out. The Thai Tourism Company serves Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Nai Thon, Layan and Baan Don only by private transfer, and Oh-Hoo does not transfer from them at all. Two days on this site are built for that end of the island:
James Bond, Phang Nga Bay and Hong Island Tour from Phuket
The Thai Tourism Company: free pickup from Rawai to Laguna and Phuket Town, 8 hours by big boat or 9 by speedboat from Ao Po Pier. Park fee 300 baht, cash at the pier.
See dates →Phuket: James Bond Island by Longtail Boat Small Group Tour
TripGuru Thailand: free pickup from Patong, Kata, Karon, Kalim, Kamala, Mai Khao, Nai Yang, Nai Thon, Choeng Talay and Phuket Town; elsewhere a meeting point at Robinson Lifestyle Thalang. Small-group longtail, park fee included.
See the tour →Phuket: James Bond Island Big Boat & Canoe + Park Fee
BJ Canoeing Tour Co.,Ltd.: a big boat from Ao Po with the park fee included, and an option priced for every pickup area, from US$89.77 to US$128.67 on the dates we read.
See the tour →Prices, ratings and review counts from the listings (GetYourGuide checked November 2026). Operators price by date and season, so treat the figures as the shape of the market, not a quote.
We did not read the small-group longtail's dates, so its from-price may belong to a meeting-point or a shared option; check the calendar for your hotel’s option.
If you have a car or a scooter
Two days sell a cheaper option for meeting at the pier. Discover Thailand’s speedboat day cost US$73.64 for its self-drive option at Laem Nga Pier on 26 Nov 2026, against US$78.19 with hotel transfers, with free parking at the pier. Thai Adventure Club’s speedboat from AA Marina cost US$46.38 that day for meeting at its marina office with the park fee paid there; its other options add the transfer, the fee or both.
What else the area decides
- The pickup time. It depends on your hotel’s location and comes the day before.
- Cash. Surcharges go to the driver in baht, on the day.
- Luggage. The Thai Tourism Company charges 100 baht a bag, useful to know on a checkout day.
Pier and pickup from Phuket has the van time each tour gives and when you are back.
