This big-boat tour from Phuket runs about seven hours through Phang Nga Bay, with two separate canoe sessions at Panak Island and Hong Island plus a stop at James Bond Island — from $60 per person, rated 4.92 from 12 reviews.
The boat cruises to Panak Island first, where a canoe takes you into “Bat Cave” or “Mangrove Cave” — sea caves reachable only by paddling in — before continuing to Hong Island for a second canoe session through quiet canyons and mangrove forest, with limestone karst towering overhead. The James Bond Island stop covers Khao Ping Kan, whose name translates as “hills leaning against each other,” the pair of limestone islands used in “The Man with the Golden Gun.” A buffet lunch is served on board, with time set aside for swimming in the bay.
Free round-trip transfers cover most of west-coast Phuket — Kalim, Surin, Bangtao, Laguna, Phuket Town, Rawai, Nai Harn, Chalong, Kata, Karon, Le Meridien, Tri Trang and Patong. Outside that list, expect a 100 THB surcharge from Sirey Bay, Leam Hin or Yamu, or 1,500 THB for a private van from Cape Panwa, Mai Khao, Naithon, Layan or Nai Yang. The national park fee (300 THB adult, 200 THB child) is separate and paid at the gate. Children aged 0-3 travel free; kids 4-11 or under 130cm pay the child rate.
Insider Tip: This tour also needs a minimum of ten people to run — the operator will shift your date, swap you to another tour, or refund you in full if a departure doesn’t reach that number.
Two canoe sessions in one day suits travelers who want more paddling than the standard James Bond Island tour offers; the operator flags the trip as unsuitable for anyone with spinal injuries or poor cardiovascular health and for pregnancy.
