James Bond Island ( Koh Tapu) By Speedboat
Let us whisk you away by speedboat through the emerald green shallow waters of Phang Nga Bay, an awe inspiring place that will leave you breathless as you see the gigantic limestone rock formations towering above as if you have entered Jurassic Park! The area is teeming with wild life which is easy to see in the crystal clear waters and the various natural rock islands during this
mesmerizing journey. James Bond Island itself was made famous by the legendary movie, “Man with the Golden Gun”. The island charmed location scouts in the 70’s who deemed it fit for a super lair for a super villain! Once you arrive you will experience the magic felt by many before you, sand between your toes, gigantic slanting cliffs and natural caves truly leave you wishing to make this your own private island! This tour of a lifetime doesn’t end just yet… Another gigantic rock sits a short boat trip away, Koh Panyee. Fishermen in the 18th century were allured by the beautiful location which is full of fish. Starting with only a few meters of beach they have built up over the centuries into what is now a village on stilts! We will take you there for lunch and souvenir shopping which is sure to tantalize your senses!

So take a speedboat from Phuket for around an hour before getting to the first of this six island tour. Phi Phi Leh and Maya Bay are the first of your activities; these are the famous landmarks where the movie, “The Beach” was filmed. So to say this tour looks like something out of a movie would be no exaggeration! Monolithic limestone rocks appearing out of the water and giant untouched looking alcoves of the most beautiful looking ocean water you will ever see is the best way to summarize this tour!
