“The Man with the Golden Gun”

Experience the Phang Nga National Park area, including a visit to the famous James Bond Island, and small island Koh Tapu, ‘James Bond Rock’, filmed in the iconic James Bond movie, “The Man with the Golden Gun”, with legendary Roger Moore in the starring role, hence nicknamed James Bond Island.

With our private James Bond Island Phuket speedboat service, you can enjoy the exhilaration of cruising the famous James Bond tour – feel the expanse of the big blue, the space around you, the sun on your skin and the wind in your hair – as we navigate through the stunning scenery on an exhilarating ride, creating unforgettable memories of an exceptionally good trip, along the way.

Seamless Travel Between Islands

Our knowledgeable and friendly local tour guides will accompany you throughout the journey, providing insights into the area’s natural wonders and unique attractions. Possibly some wildlife too, especially birds, sea creatures, and even marine animals by chance, if you are lucky!

You’ll have the opportunity to visit other famous landmarks, as we stop along the way, like Hong Island, Koh Hong, as well as limestone caves and mangrove forests and river areas. Hong Island is part of the same scenic bay and national park as the James Bond Island tour. Hong Island beaches are especially popular tourist attractions during the busy high season.

To enhance your boat tour experience, we offer exciting activities such as swimming, snorkeling (or learning how to!) and exploring hidden lagoons accessible only by speedboat. Donned in swimming suits, jump or dive into the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay and marvel at the warm waters and wonderful underwater beauty. To keep your energy levels up, the day includes lunch. We provide a delicious picnic lunch/buffet lunch included onboard, with options available for vegetarians, and vegan and gluten-free food can be served (if booked beforehand). Feel free to indulge in various refreshing beverages and snacks throughout the trip.

Additional Canoeing Experience Available

If you are feeling energetic, exciting activities and excursions such as a guided tour through the sea caves and mangroves by kayak or sea canoe, can easily be organized, at an extra charge. For an additional fee of approximately 550 Thai Baht per person, you’ll be exploring in no time, kayaking, or canoeing, as part of the James Bond Island Phuket tour fun.

Additional Note:

We always try to be as flexible and accommodating for our guests as possible while still maintaining safety and the original scope of the boat tours and charter. It’s your day so we want to care for you and give you a great experience! We’d like to know your preferences, ideally before leaving Phuket or even during the course of the charter. Please see the sample itinerary further below and keep in mind that you may be able to spend more time at a particular location(s) and sacrifice time or visits to others if needed.
