About this package

Discover James Bond Island, one of Thailand's most famous natural landmarks, located in the spectacular waters of Phang Nga Bay. Known locally as Khao Phing Kan, the destination became internationally famous after appearing in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun.

The island is best known for its dramatic limestone formations, emerald-green waters and the iconic Ko Tapu, a tall, narrow limestone rock rising dramatically from the sea. Visitors can explore the main island of Khao Phing Kan, enjoy scenic viewpoints and capture photographs of the famous rock formation.

Beyond the island itself, Phang Nga Bay offers beautiful coastal scenery, limestone caves and opportunities for sea canoeing through hidden lagoons. Depending on the selected tour, visitors may also explore nearby attractions such as Koh Panyee and other scenic islands.

Choose from a variety of boat experiences, including traditional longtail boats, speedboats, big boats and luxury catamaran or cruise options. Several packages also include sea canoeing, lunch, an English-speaking guide and national park fees.
