  Hongs of Phang Nga

  The next stop will be Hong Island. In ancient times, it served as a refuge for local fishermen, who were sheltering in the local lagoon from rain, waves, and all kinds of bad weather. Nowadays tourists canoe around the island, which you will enjoy. The boat will stop near the island, you will change to rubber canoes and go on a short journey through the caves and grottoes of Hong Island. This is a great opportunity to take a closer look at the rocks, stalactites, stalagmites and enjoy untouched nature.

  James Bond Island

  Next, you will visit the tour’s main highlight: the famous James Bond Islands, featured in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun. As the big boat approaches the islands, you will transfer to a traditional Thai long-tail boat for the final journey to James Bond Island. The attraction consists of two islands. The larger island, Khao Phing Kan, means “hills leaning against each other” and is known for its distinctive sloping limestone cliffs. Just offshore stands Ko Tapu, whose name means “nail island.” This striking 20-metre-high limestone formation is narrow at the base and wider at the top, giving it the appearance of a giant upside-down bottle.
