What To Expect

This is the tour program that will bring all participants to the true nature and the island within the Phang Nga Bay. The interesting place is Tapu island (JAMES BOND ISLAND). The Tapu island or “James Bond Island” is the giant standing rock sitting in the middle of the sea in the area of the front bay near the Pingkan mountain. Looking from the far, this rock looks like a giant nail, nailing deep into the seawater. This Tapu island is a very famous tourist spot in Phang Nga. Its beauty brought Hollywood to film their James Bond movie. The Man with the Golden Gun episode here. That is why it got the nickname of “James Bond Island”, where draws on several tours.    This is one of the most famous tourist spots in the world that many tourists come to visit. In addition to Tapu island and Panyee island, there are many interesting spots for tourists in Phang Nga Bay such as Maju mountain, grotto, Panak island, Hong Island, and Ping Kan island. However, the cruise along the Tapu island has been enforcing some restrictions from the official government. They prohibit the tourists to look too closely at the island because the sunk part of this island is very old where eroded for ages. This eroding rock may cause accidents at any point in time.

Koh Panak (Panak Island)Located southwest of Koh Hong where many caves and inner sea are around the island. Some caves can be reached by kayaking while some have a very high entrance that tourists need to climb up. The inner sea will be seen from the cave entrance. The favorite attractions are Khang Khao Cave, Ice Cream Cave, and Gong Gang Cave.   Koh Panak has wonderful scenery around the island, the cliffs, and strange beautiful stalactites almost the same as Koh Hong.

The little natural wonder makes it even more spectacular is Koh Hong (Hong Island, Phang Nga Bay), a limestone island with the bay almost surrounded by the cliff looking like the hall where boats can sail into the cave channel through the other side of the sea. But due to the low cave roof, only kayaks can get through the channel. When the tides allow to, one can enter Hong Island by canoe. The area is also good for swimming.

A day out not to miss!

Fantastic Day, well organised and thought out. Loved it and would definitely recommend it. Soft drinks and food were available throughout the day and the lunch was great, sights were just amazing. All the crew were brilliant but big shout out to Kim who helped us take some photos we would not have thought to do. I have a mobility issue and all the crew were great in helping when needed. Memories that will stay with me. Thank you.

A fantastic easy day

The staff were friendly, the boat was clean, the food was great, had lots of snacks and music. It was a fantastic day! The only negative is the big boat was slow, but for those who get travel sickness this it probably the best option. They also played games at the end of the day which was fun.

Spectacular ud83eudd0d

This trip was excellent, the whole day we were looked after and nothing was to much trouble for the crew. We did allot of trips in our time in Thailand but this one was by far the best value for money.nWe were informed at every step what weu2019re doing and all the history and information was given about every island. nThis is definitely a trip you need to do if you visit this beautiful place, it is truly spectacular. nThank you to all it was a once in a lifetime experience

Bobby good guide

Bobby was a great guide, lunch was freshly cooked and tasted amazing. Do beware when you reach James Bond island those ladies that helped you take a picture will get you to view their wares and everything is expensive and fake pearls. Other than that the trip was very well taken care of

amzzing visiting

A dreamy and memorable trip to the depths of the dreamy island with memories of Roger Moore's James Bond movie and the pleasure of swimming with local Thai food and a happy tour on the Big Ship. Will nature play a more beautiful role with green colors? I don't know, but I know that the beauty of this dream can never be compared to any trip .Do not miss the pleasure of this trip. My special suggestion is to travel to the depths of this memory.

Perfect day!

It was an amazing tour. Enjoying the views on a slow boat was much preferred (my partner got sick on a speed boat previously). nnThe crew are simply amazing, the food cooked for us was delicious, and the stops and canoes were perfect!

James Bond 2023

Nice trip and great staff. The islands are very nice. Boat was big with great views of surrounding sea. Big boat is slower, but provides a better sailing experience than the fast boats.

Miss information and rude communication

The trip advisor information read that the tour atarted at 9:30am. After I reserved the tour I got a message that the pick up time is 7:15 to 7:30am more than two hours before the displayed tour time. I asked the tour operator about this discrepancy and Ithe answer was that the pick up time was 7:15am to 7:30am and if I missed it the transport will leave without me. Really rude i interaction with the customer

Be prepared to get exhausted

Staff very friendly but we took the big boat which was extremely slow and took us 2 hours just to get there and 2 to return. And also 1-2 hours from hotel and back. Most of the day was transporting and a couple of hours siteseeing.

Book the tour!

The trip was excellent! Great tour guide operator! We loved the Hong Island and the last island that we went canoeing in and through caves. Nothing special about James Bond Island. Bring your money for snacks and souvenirs. Excellent experience!
