Phi Phi & James Bond Island Private Boat Tour PhuketYou spend the day on a private speedboat moving between Phi Phi Island and Phang Nga Bay, swimming and snorkeling at Maya Bay and Pileh Lagoon, kayaking through hidden island caves, and standing on the James Bond Island film set. Snorkeling gear, lunch, fruit, water and soft drinks are included; you bring your own camera and cash for the national park fee.Is it for me?Book this if you want to see both Phi Phi Island and James Bond Island in a single day without the hassle of coordinating two separate tours or sharing a large group boat — the private speedboat is what makes both destinations fit into one itinerary and keeps the group small enough to move at your own pace.

James Bond Island day trip from Phuket: Canoeing and cavesA day trip from Phuket combines canoeing through three islands in Phang Nga Bay: Panak Island (known as Diamond Cave for its mineral shine), Hong Island with its enclosed lagoon and heart-shaped sky opening, and the 66-foot vertical pillar of James Bond Island. The tour runs seven hours, includes hotel pickup, a guide in English, Thai or Chinese, lunch, and all canoe equipment; swimming and fresh fruit follow the sightseeing.Is it for me?Most Phang Nga Bay tours run on a fixed schedule with large groups and a long boat ride. This one keeps the group small, starts from your hotel, and spends the day in the water—paddling through caves instead of watching them from a boat seat, which is why the islands stay in your memory instead of behind glass.
