Overview
Begin your day with a morning pick-up from your Phuket hotel and a transfer to the pier, where you can enjoy tea, coffee and snacks as you await the rest of your group. From there, set sail aboard a speedboat and gaze out across the Andaman Sea as you cruise out around Phang Nga Bay.
Stop to snap photos of the dramatic sea cliffs as you cruise past Koh Panak Island, then continue to Hong Island for a thrilling sea canoeing tour. Accompanied by your guide, paddle your way around the island’s unusual rock formations, limestone caves and hidden lagoons.
Back on the speedboat, it’s time for the day’s star attraction – a cruise around Khao Ping Gan (Leaning Rock), better known as ‘James Bond Island’. Get your camera ready as you spot the famous Ko Tapu, the 66-foot (20-meter) limestone rock that featured as Scaramanga's hideaway in ‘The Man With the Golden Gun’.
Pause for a delicious buffet lunch in the fishing village of Ko Panyi, then take a tour of the traditional island, with its stilted houses and colorful fishing boats.
Stop to take a peek inside the Ice Cream and Diamond caves, en-route to the final stop of the day, Naka Noi island. Enjoy free time to swim and sunbathe on the beach, or try fun activities such as Jet Skiing or banana boating (extra cost), before setting sail back to Phuket.
Finally arrive back at the pier, where a driver will be waiting to take you back to your hotel.

Fun on James Bond Island
JEFFREY_J, May 2026
Ken was really nice and personable. He came up to me and we started chatting about the islands we were seeing and pointed out some cool shaped islands. He also helped take photos of me without me asking. Overall one of the most fun tours I’ve been on.
If you like pumping Euro...
Julian_M, Apr 2026
If you like pumping Euro trash music on the boat, being abandoned on a couple of beaches for an hour, and joining queues of other tourists to see James Bond island then this is for you. Best part was canoeing through the caves.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for sharing your honest feedback with us. We are very glad to hear that you enjoyed the canoeing through the caves, as it truly is one of the most unique and beautiful parts of the Phang Nga Bay experience. We appreciate your comments regarding the music and the time spent at the beach stops. We aim to create a lively and fun atmosphere on board, but we understand that musical tastes vary, and we will certainly take your feedback into account. Regarding the stops, we try to balance the active parts of the tour with time to relax, but we hear your point that you would have preferred more time exploring and less time on the beach. Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island are world-famous locations that attract many visitors, and while we do our best to manage our timing to avoid the busiest periods, some crowds are often unavoidable. Thank you again for your input, as it helps us understand how we can better balance the experience for all our guests. We hope that despite these points, the beauty of the caves remains a great memory of your time in Phuket.
Kayaking caves, and James Bond Island!
Shannon_C, Apr 2026
This was a great day of island hopping! The highlight for me was kayaking through the caves and seeing the James Bond Island!! Our guides were really great and a lot of fun!! We had lunch at the floating Muslim Island community, which was delicious and the island is very interesting - all of the structures are floating, including their soccer pitch! Just wild!! Our guides got us to the walking cave early, so we were the first boat there and able to walk through the cave without anyone there. Walking back through, the other boats had arrived, so there were other people. But it didn’t detract from the beauty of the caves and actually gave additional light source for some great pictures. Canoeing through the other caves was a real treat! Such beautiful areas! I wish we’d had more time there. James Bond Island really is a beautiful location! There are quite a few people and some shopping stalls, so I highly recommend walking to the other side of the island as many people don’t even go over there so it’s much quieter and a beautiful Vista from the beach. We hit a lot of different places on this day trip. My only suggestion for improvement would be that we didn’t get very much time in each place. It felt a bit rushed. Personally, I could’ve done without the last hang-out stop on the beach, in order to allow us more time for the unique experience of kayaking or exploring the floating island community. All-in-all a great day!!
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for such a thoughtful and detailed review! We are thrilled that our guides were able to get you to the walking cave ahead of the other boats—having that peaceful, quiet experience inside the cave is exactly what we hope for our guests. It is wonderful to hear that the kayaking, James Bond Island, and the unique floating soccer pitch at the Muslim Village were such big highlights for you. Your tip about walking to the other side of James Bond Island for a quieter view is excellent advice for future travelers! We also really appreciate your honest feedback regarding the pace of the day. Because there are so many beautiful locations to visit in Phang Nga Bay, it can sometimes feel like a lot to fit in. Your suggestion about spending more time at the caves or the village instead of the final beach stop is very helpful as we continue to refine our itineraries. Thank you again for joining us and for sharing your experience. We hope to see you back on the water for another adventure soon!
