Classic Phang Nga Bay by Longtail Boat
Private Tour Full Day.
Explore James Bond Island & Phang Nga Bay: A Private Longtail Boat Adventure
Step aboard your own private classic Thai longtail boat and journey into the heart of Phang Nga Bay, where limestone karsts rise like giants from the emerald sea. This isn't just another island-hopping tour — it’s a cinematic voyage. Cruise past dozens of islands, big and small, until you reach the legendary James Bond Island (Khao Phing Kan), the filming location of The Man with the Golden Gun. The scenery alone feels surreal, but the real thrill is following in the footsteps of 007, exploring every iconic filming spot along the route.
But beauty alone doesn't make the journey unforgettable — it’s the people too. One stop brings you to a floating village, where locals live on stilts above the water. It's here that many visitors face a dilemma: how do you connect with a culture so different in such a short time? The solution is simple — share a moment. Walk the narrow wooden paths, talk to the vendors, taste their food. Suddenly, you're not just passing through — you're part of the story.
Then, the final surprise: Hong Island (Phang Nga). From the outside, it’s striking. But what lies inside the giant floating mountain is something else entirely — a hidden world of sea caves. Paddle quietly through winding lagoons, past glowing rock formations, into echoing dark and light caves. Many come unprepared for this level of beauty, but it’s solved with a single word: surrender. Let the silence, the shimmer, the nature take over. This is Thailand’s most magical sea kayaking spot, and it’s yours to explore.
We recommend reviewing the full itinerary and checking out some highlight photos from the trip before booking. If you'd like to speak directly with a real JC Tour staff member (not a bot), feel free to contact us anytime at 089-5727603, WhatsApp: +66 848053153, or Email: jctourthailand@gmail.com.

Classic Longtail Boat
 |
 |
The local longtail boat offers more than just transportation — it’s part of the experience. Gliding at a steady pace — not too fast, never too slow — it lets you fully take in the dramatic limestone cliffs, emerald waters, and scattered islands of Phang Nga Bay. Built with a deep V-shaped hull, the boat cuts through waves smoothly, minimizing bumps and making the ride surprisingly gentle. Wide, open seating and a shaded roof keep you comfortable, while thoughtful design details add charm to every corner.
For those who crave the sun, the front deck is your sanctuary — beautifully arranged for lounging, sunbathing, and soaking up the tropical breeze. The boat’s classic woodwork and timeless details aren’t just aesthetic; they set the tone for a nostalgic, cinematic cruise into one of Thailand’s most iconic landscapes. It’s not just a boat ride. It’s a journey into the soul of the sea.
Hidden Lagoon
If you watch closely, every Hollywood film shot in Phang Nga Bay — from James Bond 007 to later adventure epics — shares one signature moment: the secret lagoon. Tucked inside towering limestone cliffs, this hidden paradise often serves as a character’s hideout or the story’s turning point — where action gives way to awe. As the camera glides into the narrow entrance, the audience collectively whispers “Wow.” No studio can replicate this scene. It's too real, too layered, too impossible to fake.
Most tours skip it. Access is limited. But this experience takes you in — not just to the edge, but deep inside. You’ll glide through a narrow opening into the arms of a limestone fortress, where time slows down and the sound of the outside world disappears. The water is still, almost reverent. And as the cliffs close in, you won’t just see the scene — you’ll feel it. This isn’t a stop on a map. It’s a memory being written without a lens, one that stays with you longer than any film ever could.
The scenes of movie - James Bond Island
Koh Tapu, better known as James Bond Island, may have first captured the world’s imagination through film — but standing before it in real life hits deeper. The towering, needle-shaped rock rising out of the sea feels almost too perfect to be real, as if nature itself staged it to mark the gateway to adventure. Along the shoreline, soft white shells cover the beach like tiny relics, creating a dreamlike setting that seems built for the silver screen, yet exists purely in nature.
The James Bond Cave is its own kind of mystery. Starting from one side of the island, the narrow passage tunnels through to the other — once a villain’s secret lair in the movie, now a slow, shadowy walk into something more personal. The light dances off water-slicked walls, echoing softly in the silence. Venture a little farther, and you’ll find the “Twin Rock Walls” — leaning in towards each other like ancient guardians. It’s a place not just of beauty, but of presence — a quiet force that makes you feel like you’ve stepped into another world entirely.
Panyee Island (Floating Village)
Koh Panyee is more than just a stop — it’s a living, floating village with a soul as deep as its history. Built entirely on stilts above the sea, this Muslim fishing community has thrived for generations in a space where land barely exists. Here, you’ll wander through a local bazaar filled with handmade crafts and souvenirs, visit a floating mosque that still anchors the village in faith, and glimpse daily life at a small waterside school — all flowing at a rhythm uniquely its own.
But the true heart of the island is the floating football field, built by the village children from scrap wood and dreams. What began as play became a symbol — of resilience, of unity, of a belief that anything is possible, even on a patch of water in the middle of the sea. As your boat departs, the journey closes with one last gift from nature: a passage through a massive sea cave, where limestone cliffs part just wide enough for your boat to slip through. It’s not just the end of a trip — it’s the final scene in a story written by the sea.
Hong Island (Phang Nga Bay)
This is the path into a hidden world — a vast sea cave system tucked silently beneath towering limestone cliffs, deep in the heart of untouched nature. The entrance is a winding stone tunnel, narrow and twisting like a secret passage into another realm. Inside, you'll discover a labyrinth of chambers — dozens of natural halls, each with its own shape, depth, and mood. No two rooms are the same, and every step feels like the opening scene of a new adventure: mysterious, thrilling, and endlessly captivating.
Nature here is untouched and powerful. Stalactites and stalagmites glisten under flashlight beams like sculptures from a fairy tale. The slow drip of water echoes against stone, creating a rhythm that feels both eerie and enchanting. You might catch the faint call of a rare forest bird, or glimpse small cave-dwelling creatures that have lived here in silence for centuries. But the real beauty of this cave isn’t just what you see — it’s what you feel. A quiet, wordless story being told by the earth itself, one that stays with you long after you’ve left the darkness behind.
