James Bond Island Private Longtail Boat Tour: All-Inclusive

This one runs as a private charter: the longtail boat is booked for your group alone, rather than shared with other travellers on a fixed group departure. The day runs 10 hours door-to-door, which leaves more time at each stop than a shared-boat schedule typically allows.

The route runs through more named stops than the shared tours: Khao Phing Kan’s Leaning Rock and the Nail Rock formation at Koh Tapu, a stop at Koh Panyi’s fishing village where lunch is included, canoeing through Tam Lod cave, Koh Hong and Panak Lagoon, then Ice Cream Cave and a second cave stop known for its distinctive rock formations, reached by boat through a narrow cave mouth. Private transportation, an English-speaking driver and guide, bottled water, canoeing and all attraction entrance fees are built into the price. Only guide tips sit outside it, since every other cost across the day’s stops is already covered.

The rating holds up on a substantial review sample, reassuring at this price point. Free cancellation applies up to 24 hours before departure.

Insider Tip: Because the price covers the whole longtail boat rather than a per-seat group price, it works out better value the more people you fill the boat with, up to the 15-person cap.
