James Bond Island (Big Boat) + Sea Canoe + Lunch on Board + National Park Fee + SIC Transfer

Discover one of Thailand’s most iconic seascapes on this full-day guided tour of Phang Nga Bay aboard a spacious big boat. Cruise through a labyrinth of towering limestone karsts, stop at the world-famous James Bond Island — immortalised in The Man with the Golden Gun — and glide through hidden caves and sea caves by traditional sea canoe. National Park entry fees are included, so there are no surprises at the gate.

A freshly prepared lunch served on board keeps the day seamless, while shared (SIC) transfers from your Phuket hotel handle the logistics door to dock. This tour suits couples, families, and group travellers who want a classic Phang Nga Bay experience with solid organisation and great value built in.

James Bond Island (Big Boat) + Sea Canoe + Lunch on Board + National Park Fee + SIC Transfer takes you by boat from Phuket, Thailand to some of the most photographed islands and lagoons in southern Thailand.

Phang Nga Bay, north-east of Phuket, is a national park of more than a hundred limestone islands. Its star is Khao Phing Kan, called James Bond Island since the 1974 Bond film, with the needle-shaped Koh Tapu standing in the water beside it. Most trips add sea canoeing through caves and a stop at the stilt village of Koh Panyee.

Good to know: it usually takes full day (about 8 hours). The operator confirms the exact pickup or start time when you book.

What you will see and do: Big Boat.

It is sold as shared tour with hotel transfer (SIC). The booking box shows today’s price for each option, with a separate child rate where the operator offers one.

Big boats are cheaper and more stable; speedboats and longtails reach more islands in the same time. National park fees are paid per person. Bring swimwear, a towel, reef-safe sunscreen, a hat and a waterproof bag for your phone. Seas can be rough from May to October, when the boat operator may change the route for safety.

Best time to go: november to April is the dry season with calm seas. May to October is the monsoon: cheaper hotels, but some island trips are changed or cancelled because of waves.

Send your date, hotel and number of guests on WhatsApp. TourKro checks availability with the operator and confirms the pickup time and final price before you pay.
