Phang Nga Bay (James Bond Island) & Monkey Cave · by Long tail Boat
Description
Joining a James Bond Island tour and cruising through Phang Nga Bay is the second most popular activity in the region. Located 25 km northeast of Phuket, the area is known for its dramatic limestone cliffs that rise sharply out of the water. The most famous of these is James Bond Island, featuring a needle-shaped limestone rock made famous by the movie The Man with the Golden Gun. Another must-visit spot is the Muslim fishing village on Koh Panyee, known for its unique lifestyle and floating homes. Most tours also include canoeing through limestone caves and into peaceful mangrove forests — a true adventure in nature!

The whole experience was terrible it felt like an big scam they take you to the monkey cave at start not at the end and when you get to the boat they ask for 300thb to see the James Bond island witch was meant to be part of the booking price and the food at the floating island is not worth it the food was cold bottom line this whole tour just felt like AN BIG FAT SCAM I will never recommend these people
It’s an big scam they make you pay for the tour witch says James Bond island and they make you pay more when you get to the boat to go to the island I fully recommend NOT TO DO THIS TOUR
Worst company to work with. When you book with them they give you confirmation that your pickup is your hotel but its not supposed to be hotel pickup if you are outside phuket area. But then the confirnation should not show pickup as Hotel. Then you dont get any response from whatsapp by the tour operator and only get response when you contact viator. Then even when they arrange transportation and you ask for name or taxi nunber to make sure you sit in the right taxi, they dont provide the details after asking multiple times, and stop responding on whatsapp. A person shows up for pickup and you are supposed to just go by their word that they are from where they say they are. Then you go for tour and though the tour sames James Bond island and Monkey cave and the guide says also that we will be taken to both, they only take to James bond island and return. The lady guide was very nice in person but everything else was over promised under delivered. The food place for lunch was also ok. Not so good. I wouldn't take another tour with them again. Very stressful before and after.
The views are breathtaking at all the locations, every station of the day trip has its unique atmosphere and each one is magnificent. Bring a backpack in order to be able to take your belongings with you easily at all times.
Super long drive from Phuket. Could have used some water. Otherwise the excursion was a good value. Excellent lunch.
Joined the tour to have memories, value for money, just nice pace for the day outing to the James Bond island as the highlight.
Love it! Nice organization 👏 Nice guy tour, nice bus driver, clean bus Fully recommended 💯 % 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Our driver was friendly and we got picked up at hotel Great activities,clear & precise tour guide Shame we had boat engine failure and had to change boats mid river! Other passengers on the bus were a nitemare and vert disrespectful to the driver, noisy unruly children climbing on seats standing up on seats, eating and leaving a mess Very unpleasant travelling with them
