Private Longtail Boat Tour to James Bond Island from Phuket – What You Will Do
This boat tour allows you to take in the majestic scenery of James Bond Island and Phang Nga Bay, home to towering limestone cliffs jutting dramatically out of the emerald waters. As your longtail boat zips you across the shimmering sea, keep your eyes peeled for this iconic island that leaves all first-timers awestruck.
Once owned by a pirate, swashbuckling actor Roger Moore brought James Bond Island to worldwide fame when he docked his boat here in the 1974 movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Since then, thousands flock here to capture the perfect photo of the 20-meter tall cliff covered in lush jungle greenery.
We’ll steer our longtail right up to the island’s shoreline for closeup views of this legendary landmark. The boat will pause here to allow you time to snap pictures and take in the scenery from all angles. With craggy cliffs all around, James Bond Island still maintains the rugged exotic beauty that originally attracted Hollywood filmmakers.
The best part? Entrance fees to the national park and island are already included so you can focus solely on soaking in the views. Just sit back and embrace the tropical atmosphere as our guide navigates you through one of Thailand’s most photographed panoramas.
Private Longtail Boat Tour to James Bond Island Itinerary:
With hotel pickup, traditional longtail boat transport, and 8-9 hours of pure adventure, this Private Longtail Boat Tour to James Bond Island with Canoe Adventure from Phuket combines movie-famous limestone karsts with genuine cultural immersion that’ll make every other boat tour feel like a cheap imitation.
Here’s what every traveler needs to know upfront — and I wish more tour companies were this transparent about it.
This tour operates from Tha Dan Pier in Phang Nga Bay province, not from Phuket itself. What does that mean for your day? You’re looking at an 80-100 minute minivan transfer each way from your Phuket hotel (though, that timing depends a lot on where exactly you’re staying in Phuket).
Now, before you groan about the drive time — this journey actually becomes part of the experience. You’ll wind through rural Thailand, past rice paddies dotted with water buffalo, traditional fishing villages, and those incredible limestone karst mountains that make this region famous. It’s like getting a bonus cultural tour before your boat adventure even begins.
But here’s the really important part: I need to check availability before confirming any booking. These are genuine private longtail boats with local captains — not some massive fleet operation. During peak season (December through February especially), the good boats get booked up fast.
The privacy of your own longtail boat allows you to skip crowds and tourist herds for intimate views of places like James Bond Island. This exhilarating full-day itinerary packs an adventurous punch:
- 8:30 AM – Your journey begins with prompt pickup from your hotel by private car to head to the first stop – Monkey Cave Temple. Descend into the depths of this sacred space for a spiritual awakening surrounded by wild monkeys in their natural habitat.
- 10:40 AM – Adrenaline rush as you zoom off to sea on your private longtail boat. Feel the ocean breeze as you slices through vibrant turquoise waters bound for Panyee Island.
- 11 AM – Pull up to this engineering marvel, a village incredibly built entirely on stilts above the sea. Behold panoramas of homes and shops floating magically over the ocean.
- 12:40 PM – After feasting on an authentic meal, it’s time to grab a paddle for a rare opportunity to canoe through the mind-blowing Talu Cave lagoon, encircled completely in jagged limestone.
- 1:30 PM – The crescendo of your action-packed day – James Bond Island! Follow in the footsteps of 007 himself at this iconic natural landmark emerging from the sea.
- 5:30 PM – Wind down on the relaxing ride back to Phuket after an amazing island-hopping excursion packed with wow-factor moments.
With a private longtail boat, personal guide, and flexible pacing, this VIP tour lets you craft your own James Bond-style adventure!

Best Time to Visit
High Season (November-March): Perfect weather but higher prices and more crowds even on private tours. Book at least 2 weeks ahead.
Shoulder Season (April-May, October): Great balance of good weather and fewer tourists. My personal recommendation for the best overall experience.
Low Season (June-September): Significantly cheaper, but afternoon thunderstorms are common.

Tony wasn’t just our guide – he was like that friend who knows all the best spots and actually wants you to have an amazing time. My crew and I have done tours all over Southeast Asia, but this one? Different league entirely. Everything made us feel like VIPs rather than just another booking. Seriously considering planning our next Thailand trip around whatever tour this guys are running.”
Shayan –
Thailand in peak season = serious heat, but these guys came prepared. While I was melting like a tourist popsicle, they kept the cold drinks flowing and timed our stops perfectly to catch shade when we needed it. The whole experience lived up to every expectation, sweat and all. Worth every baht.
Manuel – via WhatsApp –
Look, I’ve written enough travel reviews to know when something special happens. This wasn’t just island-hopping – it was like having a local insider show you their backyard. The guide didn’t just point out landmarks; his humor kept us laughing between the jaw-dropping scenery, and honestly? We’re already planning our return to Thailand just to do more tours with this team.
