8 Lunch Experiences Worth Flying For

1.Luxury Boat to James Bond Islands with Lunch and Sunset Dinner

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 908 reviews · from $159Our pick

Spend about 7.5 hours aboard SEANERY’s large catamaran from Phuket. Visit the Hongs of Phang Nga by kayak, stop at James Bond Island by longboat, swim beside the boat, and enjoy buffet lunch, dinner, soft drinks, Wi-Fi, and music from the onboard DJ.

“Without a doubt the best experience we had in Phuket. The transfers were well organised and the staff were amazing. But best of all the Catamaran was absolutely incredible, plenty of room to either sit down stairs at our designated tables or relax upstairs on the well shaded sun beds. James Bond island was great, we got there later in the afternoon and there was no one else there. The food was also a highlight, really well done. We did a few island trips and this one was by far the best. We 100% recommended this trip.”

“I am typically an accommodating, laid-back gal who understands and accepts the “tourist tax” when abroad. This experience was so far beyond the pale that I wondered if I was a sucker on a reality television show that aims to break affable tourists by gouging them to death. For about $500 CAD, my mother and I—both very much looking forward to the afternoon—ended up with a passable light lunch and a sales pitch that reminded me of a high-pressure Timeshare scam. We were barely through our appetizers among the scraggly vines when our server pitched us for the first time with an outrageous price list and insisted we were getting…”
