Full-day James Bond Island speedboat tour with mangrove canoeing

4.4/5
19 reviews

Departing from Khao Lak, this tour sees you speed off into Phang Nga Bay to one of its many highlights – James Bond Island. Sprinkled with Hollywood glamour, it's one of Thailand's top attractions. On this early bird speedboat trip, you'll also canoe through mangrove forests and have lunch in Ko Panyi.

Starting early, you'll get to see the incredible limestone karsts in mesmerizing morning light. You'll travel by speedboat though the emerald-green sea to one island that everyone wants to see – James Bond Island, or Khao Phing Kan as it's known locally.

Then it's time to ramp up pace with a kayaking experience, where you'll explore a fascinating network of mangrove forests at Tum Lod. Lunch comes courtesy of the locals at Ko Panyi – ‘The Floating Village' – a place built entirely on stilts. We round off with a chance to grab some snaps at the viewpoint of Samet Nangshe.

    There was more to the tour than I expected . Caves and the fact that we were at each place before the crowds. Made the trip and places feel like they were all exclusive. Also the sea was so calm not sure if this is always the case but for anyone who gets sea sick this was not the case on this tour .for the not to like well nothing really but if I had to choose the last stop the beach for a hour . Not needed as there was so much to see in the Thailand island landscapes . Well worth it !!!!!
