James Bond Discovery with Canoeing from Krabi by longtail boat
Experience one of Thailand’s most iconic adventures on the James Bond Discovery with Canoeing Tour from Krabi, operated by Phuket Travel Store. This unforgettable full-day excursion combines sightseeing, canoeing, island exploration, and local culture. Whether you travel by traditional longtail boat, this journey through Phang Nga Bay National Park is filled with breathtaking scenery, fascinating caves, and authentic Thai experiences.
Journey Through Phang Nga Bay
Phang Nga Bay, one of Thailand’s most beautiful and protected marine parks.
As you glide across emerald-green waters, enjoy views of mangrove forests, hidden lagoons, and dramatic limestone karst formations rising from the sea. You’ll pass stunning natural landmarks such as Khao Majoo, a limestone mountain shaped by centuries of erosion, and Tham Lod Cave, where your boat glides directly through a natural tunnel carved by wind and water. This cave passage offers the perfect chance for photos and a glimpse of the mysterious world beneath Phang Nga’s cliffs.
Visit James Bond Island and Khao Ping Gan
The highlight of the tour is undoubtedly the visit to James Bond Island and Khao Ping Gan. The name “Khao Ping Gan” literally means “Leaning Mountain,” a reference to the giant rock formation split in two by nature. One part has slid downward, making it appear as though the cliff is leaning on itself. Just a few meters away stands the famous Koh Tapu, or “Nail Island,” a tall limestone rock formation that dramatically juts out of the sea. This site became internationally famous after appearing in the James Bond movie “The Man with the Golden Gun” — and today, it remains one of Thailand’s most photographed natural icons.
Spend time walking along the island’s small beaches, taking photos of the world-famous rock, and exploring the small souvenir market that sells local handicrafts and shells. The James Bond Island Tour from Krabi is not only a cinematic experience but also a chance to admire the geological wonders of Phang Nga Bay.
Canoeing Adventure at Lod Cave and Hong Island
After visiting James Bond Island, continue your journey to Lod Cave (Tham Lod) or Hong Island, depending on your selected tour. Here, you’ll experience the thrill of canoeing through limestone caves and tranquil lagoons surrounded by towering cliffs. Paddle your canoe beneath overhanging stalactites and through narrow cave openings that lead to hidden lagoons where silence and beauty reign.
Your experienced paddler will guide you safely while you admire the spectacular shapes of the caves, listen to the sounds of nature, and enjoy the cool shade of the cliffs. This part of the James Bond Discovery Tour with Canoeing is often a guest favorite — it combines peaceful exploration with awe-inspiring natural scenery.
Lunch at Koh Panyee Floating Village
Next, you’ll visit Koh Panyee, a unique floating Muslim fishing village built on wooden stilts above the sea. The village has been home to local fishermen for over a century, and today it offers visitors a fascinating look into a simple, traditional way of life.
Enjoy a delicious Thai-style lunch at a local seafood restaurant overlooking the bay. After lunch, stroll through narrow walkways and browse the local market, where villagers sell hand-made crafts, T-shirts, and souvenirs. Meeting the local people and learning about their daily life adds a cultural touch to your island-hopping adventure.
Afternoon Exploration and Wat Suwan Khuha Temple
On the way back to Krabi, the tour makes one last stop at Wat Suwan Khuha, also known as the Cave Temple or Monkey Cave Temple. Inside, you’ll find an impressive reclining Buddha statue, ancient cave walls, and playful monkeys in the temple courtyard.
