Embark on a full-day journey through the breathtaking seascape of Phang Nga Bay with our James Bond Island and Canoe Adventure. This unforgettable tour combines natural beauty, cultural discovery, and fun water activities, offering the perfect escape for nature lovers and explorers alike.

Your day begins with a scenic cruise into the heart of Phang Nga Bay, famous for its towering limestone cliffs and emerald-green waters. The first stop is Panak Island, where you'll hop aboard a canoe with your expert local guide. Paddle through hidden caves and lagoons surrounded by lush jungle and surreal rock formations – a magical experience that brings you up close to the untouched beauty of the region.

Next, glide into the peaceful Hong Island lagoon, another highlight of the day. As you paddle through narrow cave passages, you'll find yourself immersed in the tranquil sounds of nature, with only the splash of your paddle and the calls of tropical birds echoing through the cliffs.

After your canoeing adventures, it's time to visit the world-famous James Bond Island, known locally as Khao Phing Kan. This iconic limestone pinnacle became globally recognized after featuring in the James Bond movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Here, you’ll have time to walk around the island, take photos of the striking rock formations, and admire the incredible scenery.

Your journey continues to the remarkable Koh Panyee, a traditional Muslim fishing village built entirely on stilts over the sea. Here, you’ll enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant, and take a short walk to explore the village’s wooden walkways, homes, and floating mosque—a true cultural highlight.

In the afternoon, the tour winds down with a relaxing beach stop at Rang Yai Island, a small tropical paradise known for its soft white sand and clear waters. Unwind in a beach chair, go for a swim, or simply soak in the peaceful island atmosphere before heading back to Phuket.

This tour offers the perfect mix of sightseeing, adventure, and relaxation, making it one of the most popular day trips from Phuket. Book your James Bond Island and Canoe Adventure today with PhuketTravelStore.com and experience the magic of Phang Nga Bay.

Hong Island, or Koh Hong, is a stunning limestone island located in Phang Nga Bay, between Phuket and Krabi. Part of the Ao Phang Nga National Park, it is known for its dramatic cliffs, hidden lagoons, and unique ecosystems. The island’s name, “Hong,” means “room” in Thai—referring to the secret lagoons enclosed by cliffs, accessible only by canoe.

Rich in biodiversity, the island is home to mangroves, monkeys, tropical birds, and marine life. Its limestone caves and rock formations offer incredible opportunities for exploration and photography. Historically, Hong Island was inhabited by indigenous communities who lived off the bay’s natural resources.

Visitors can enjoy canoeing, cave tours, and snorkeling while experiencing the raw beauty of Phang Nga Bay. As a protected area, responsible tourism is essential—help preserve this natural wonder by respecting local guidelines.

James Bond Island – Iconic Landmark of Phang Nga Bay

James Bond Island, officially known as Khao Phing Kan, is a world-famous destination in Phang Nga Bay, Thailand. It rose to fame after featuring in the 1974 James Bond film The Man with the Golden Gun. The island’s highlight is Khao Tapu, a tall limestone rock rising vertically from the sea—its name means "nail" in Thai.

Surrounded by emerald-green waters and dramatic cliffs, the island offers breathtaking views and photo opportunities. Part of Ao Phang Nga National Park, the area is rich in biodiversity with mangroves, birds, and marine life. Once an unknown spot, it’s now a must-visit destination for travelers seeking nature, cinema history, and unforgettable scenery.

Panyee Island – Floating Village in Phang Nga Bay & Lunch

Panyee Island, or Koh Panyee, is a fascinating floating village located in Phang Nga Bay near Phuket. Built entirely on stilts over the water, the village is home to a Muslim community known as the Sea Gypsies or Chao Leh, who have preserved their fishing traditions for generations.

Established by Indonesian Muslim families, the village includes wooden houses, shops, and a mosque—all connected by narrow walkways. Surrounded by towering limestone cliffs and mangroves, Panyee Island offers a rare glimpse into a traditional way of life that thrives above the sea. Your Thai lunch buffet is waiting for you at this typical fishing village.

A visit here is not only scenic but culturally enriching, making it a highlight of any Phang Nga Bay tour.

Panak Island – Caves and Lagoons of Phang Nga Bay

Panak Island, or Koh Panak, is a hidden gem in Phang Nga Bay, part of Ao Phang Nga National Park. Known for its dramatic limestone cliffs, sea caves, and tranquil lagoons, the island offers a true adventure in nature.

Rich in history, Panak Island was once a shelter for local fishermen and indigenous communities. Today, it’s a haven for wildlife, including mangroves, bats, and reptiles, all thriving in its lush, limestone ecosystem.

Canoeing through its caves and discovering hidden lagoons is a highlight for visitors. To protect this natural wonder, it’s essential to follow park guidelines and practice responsible tourism. Panak Island promises a peaceful escape into one of Thailand’s most beautiful natural landscapes.

Rang Yai Island – Tranquil Escape Near Phuket

Rang Yai Island is a serene tropical paradise located just east of Phuket. Known for its pristine white sandy beaches and clear turquoise waters, it offers a peaceful retreat away from the crowds. Surrounded by lush greenery and swaying coconut palms, the island provides a relaxing atmosphere perfect for swimming, sunbathing, or simply enjoying nature.

Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!

Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!

Amazing Phuket Explorer Tour – Booked with Phuket Travel Store!

We had an incredible experience on the Phuket Explorer Tour, booked through Phuket Travel Store. Everything was seamless from the start — easy booking, great communication, and a perfectly organized itinerary. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and made the whole day engaging and fun. We visited all the must-see spots: Big Buddha, Wat Chalong, scenic viewpoints, and charming Old Phuket Town. Each stop gave us a deeper understanding of Phuket’s culture and beauty. The air-conditioned van was super comfortable, and the included lunch was tasty and authentic. We never felt rushed — just relaxed and well taken care of. This is the perfect tour if you want to explore Phuket in a day without stress. Highly recommend Phuket Travel Store for their excellent service and professionalism. Can’t wait to book with them again!
