Come with us on our James Bond Island tour of one of the world’s most iconic locations. Set idyllically within the crystal clear waters of Thailand lies this incredible tourist destination, surrounded by magnificent limestone cliffs, that creates a serene environment that needs to be seen to be believed.
Known locally as Khao Phing Kan, James Bond Island is situated within Phang Nga Bay in the Andaman Sea. It has been a popular tourist destination for close to 50 years after playing a starring role in the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun”, hence its nickname. The allure of James Bond Island is largely a result of the limestone karst formation that rises vertically from the emerald-green waters and towers over the surrounding beach. This instagrammable nature of this natural wonder makes it a must-see destination on any trip to the Phuket region.
Our luxury private charter boats get you to James Bond Island far sooner than the crowds, ensuring that you and your travel companions get to experience the region the way it was meant to be experienced – in solitude and complete serenity.

‘Locals’ Island Tour
Koh Phanak
The first stop on our James Bond Island tour is to the incredible Panak Island region. This highly requested tourist region contains many hidden caves, and lagoons and provides ample opportunity for exploration. As it is the first stop on our tour you can experience it without stepping on the toes of other tour groups, which dramatically enhances the experience and allows you to feel like you have the entire island to yourself.
Hong Island - Sea Canoeing
There is no better way to witness the rock formations of the Phang Nga Bay region than with a canoe at Hong Island. Before we head to James Bond Island, our experienced Thai guides will lead you through the limestone caves of Hong island in a very intimate tour. Cruise across the calming waters in your canoe and duck underneath the undergrowth as we pull right up to these incredible rock formations that have been carved over many hundreds of years.
Famous James Bond Island (Ko Tapu)
The headline act of the tour and unquestionably the most famous location in all of Phang Nga Bay. The visit to James Bond Island is well worth the wait after we depart Hong Island and set sail North to the headline act of the tour. We anchor up at this point, ahead of the majority of daily tours, giving our guests the chance to take dozens of instagrammable photos of this incredible limestone marvel that James Bond Island is famous for.
Secret Hong Or Kadu Beach
Highly dependent on local tidal conditions, we depart James Bond Island and journey to either Secret Hong or Kadu Beach. Secret Hong is aptly named – an incredible hidden cave that is only accessible by swimming through a narrow entry passageway. However, on days with strong currents we must defer this trip for safety reasons. On these days, we compensate our guests with a visit to the equally pristene Kadu beach – a small bay situated towards the top of Koh Yao Noi.
Koh Yao Noi
It makes no sense to join a James Bond Island tour without venturing north to Koh Yao Noi, one of Thailand’s most unique locations. This island has held on strong to its traditions and gives guests an insight into what life is like as an islander in Thailand with plenty of livestock, local huts and farmland to explore. We stop here for a delicious Thal lunch at one of the local restaurants.
Final Beach Stop in Phang Nga Bay
The conclusion to the James Bond Island is a stop at any number of beaches along the journey home which will be dependent on tidal conditions. This is one lasting opportunity to saviour a final swim and to relax with a book in the warm afternoon sun before finally heading home in full view of the magnificent Phang Nga Bay limestone cliffs.
Back at SoHo to Unwind
With James Bond Island in the rearview mirror we’ll dock back at the marina and depart the boat to end a day like no other. We encourage all James Bond Island tour guests to join us back at the SoHo Club for a drink and a bite to eat in order to reminisce about the experiences that are now entwined with you forever.
