2 in 1: James Bond Island & Hong Island by Speedboat

Description
A day in Phang Nga Bay and the Hong Islands on one speedboat, covering the two most photographed pieces of coastline in southern Thailand. It is the longest crossing we run from Ao Nang and the most expensive day tour on the site, and both facts come from the same thing: Phang Nga Bay is a long way north and worth the trip.

More sightseeing and less swimming than the Hong Islands tours. The morning is about scenery, caves and a village; the swimming comes later in the day.
James Bond Island is busy and the stop is short by design. The sea cave canoeing and Koh Panyee are the parts most guests talk about afterwards.
Koh Panyee is a working village and a mosque community, so shoulders and knees covered is the respectful choice for the lunch stop.
FAQs
No. The Than Bok Khorani National Park entry fee is paid at the islands and is not part of the tour price. It is 300 baht per adult and 150 baht per child aged 4 to 11, in cash. Bring it with you: there is no card machine at the park and no ATM on the islands.
No. You book online and pay on the day of the tour, so nothing is charged when you reserve your seats. Bring cash for the tour price and for the national park fee if it is not already included.
You stop at Khao Phing Kan and see the Ko Ta Pu rock that the film made famous, with time ashore for photographs. It is the busiest stop of the day, so the visit is deliberately kept short and the rest of the day is spent in quieter water.
It is the longest crossing we run from Ao Nang, which is why this is a nine-hour day and costs more than the Hong Islands tours. You are in Phang Nga Bay for the morning, including the sea cave canoeing and the village lunch at Koh Panyee, and back in the Hong Islands area later.
Yes. A local paddler takes you through the Lod cave and the mangrove channels, so you sit in the canoe rather than paddling yourself. It is the calmest part of the day and works for all ages.
Pickup is from your hotel and it is included from Krabi Town, Klong Muang, Ao Nang and the Railay East floating pier, from 07:45 depending on your area. Give us your hotel name and room number when you book and we send the exact time the day before. If you are staying outside those areas, message us before booking and we will tell you whether we can reach you.
Yes. Children aged 4 to 11 pay 2,995 baht and infants aged under 4 travel free. Life vests come in child sizes, the beaches are shallow and calm, and an adult must travel with every child. Bring a hat, a rash vest and reef-safe sunscreen: the boat has shade but the beaches have very little.
No. Life vests are provided and worn in the water at every stop, and the guide stays with the group. The beaches at Pakbia and Hong Island shelve gently, so non-swimmers and small children can stand in the shallows.
Yes. The Thai-style lunch has halal and vegetarian options, and we can work around most allergies. Tell us when you book, or message us afterwards, so the kitchen has it in writing before the day.
The tour runs in light rain, which is common and passes quickly. The decision that matters is the sea state, not the sky: if the port authority closes the pier or the captain judges the crossing unsafe, we contact you to move the tour to another date or refund you in full. We never send a boat out in conditions we would not take our own families out in.
Swimwear worn under your clothes, a towel, a hat, sunglasses, reef-safe sunscreen, and cash for the park fee and anything you buy on the day. Mask, snorkel and life vest are provided. A dry bag is worth having: longtail boats take spray, and phones and cameras are the things people lose.
Yes. Cancelling or moving your booking to another date is free up to 24 hours before the tour starts, and anything you have paid is refunded in full. Cancellations made less than 24 hours before the start time are non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded. If we have to cancel, for example for weather or safety, you can move to another date or take a full refund.
To keep the ride safe, this tour is not suitable for pregnant women. If that could apply to anyone in your group, contact us before booking and we will help you find a better fit.

Packed day but worth it. James Bond Island is surreal, the rock formation looks exactly like the movie. Lunch at the floating village was a nice touch, very different from the usual tourist lunches. Afternoon at Hong Islands was the perfect way to end the day.

Great day out. The floating village was the most unique part and the lunch was authentic. Worth every rupee.

Nice day, lots of stops. Just a long day, you need to be ready for early start and late return. Everything else was good.

Une journée incroyable. The floating village at Koh Panyee was unexpected and really interesting, the kids loved seeing how people live on the water. Hong Island in the afternoon was beautiful.
