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.
