Overview

This full-day speedboat tour from Phuket covers key sites in Phang Nga Bay, including Khao Phing Kan and Koh Tapu, known as James Bond Island. The day begins with a welcome at either Phuket Boat Lagoon or Royal Phuket Marina, where guests receive coffee, tea, and a light Thai snack while the guide outlines the day and safety instructions. Afterward, the boat travels through Phang Nga Bay with stops at Koh Panak Cave for photos and sightseeing, followed by kayaking around Hong Island’s rock formations and caves. Next, the tour visits Khao Phing Kan (Leaning Rock), where the guide provides information and photo opportunities at the landmark featured in the James Bond film The Man With the Golden Gun. Lunch is served buffet-style at Ko Panyi, a stilt village, followed by a guided 30-minute walk to explore the village further. Participants then hike to the Ice Cream Cave, wearing helmets provided for safety, to view stalactites and stalagmites. The final stop is Naka Noi Island, where guests have about an hour and a half to relax on the beach, swim, or try optional rentals such as jet skis or banana boats from private vendors. The tour returns to the pier by early evening, where coffee or tea is available while waiting for hotel transfers. National Park entrance fees are not included and must be paid separately. The tour lasts about 8.5 hours and includes hotel pickup and drop-off, onboard refreshments, sea canoe activities with life jackets, a professional English-speaking guide, and lunch.
