Kohtourphuket were amazing. Everything went according to plan. Our speedboat to Phi phi Island was company called Amazing Canoe .com. Thoroughly recommend this organisation too. Guides were fantastic, boat was perfect, Office had breakfast and snacks and drinks. Couldn’t have asked for a better day. Areas we visited were crowded but that’s no reflection on this company.

It was awesome to take part in such an interesting tour. The staff were very polite, friendly, and helpful. Riding ATVs through the jungle was an amazing experience, and the views along the way were incredible. Visiting the Big Buddha was definitely one of the highlights of the trip. Highly recommended!

Eine wunderschöne Tour, super nettes Personal, sehr leckeres Essen auf dem Boot ( die Pancakes waren himmlisch 🫶🏻) die Kajaktour durch die Grotten war mein Highlight 🫶🏻. Einziges Manko war die James Bond Insel ( leider viel zu viele Menschen )

James Bond Island, officially known as Koh Tapu, is one of the most iconic attractions in Thailand, especially in the Phuket region. Situated within Phang Nga Bay, this towering limestone rock got worldwide fame after being featured in the 1974 James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun. Since then, the island has become a must-visit destination for those exploring the natural beauty of southern Thailand, particularly for people based in Phuket.
James Bond Island, or Koh Tapu, is located in Phang Nga Bay in southern Thailand. It lies within Ao Phang Nga National Park, about 25 kilometers northeast of Phuket. The island is surrounded by dramatic limestone cliffs and emerald-green waters, making it a key attraction in the region. We offer various group tours to this beautiful island. It’s only accessible by boat, so it is often visited on day trips from Phuket, with the journey taking you past picturesque islands, hidden lagoons, and sea caves in the bay.
To reach James Bond Island from Phuket, visitors typically join organized boat tours. These tours often start from Phuket’s east coast, with departures from marinas such as Ao Po or from piers in Phang Nga. Speedboats and long-tail boats are common options, offering a scenic ride through Phang Nga Bay. For a more relaxed journey, some ferries and larger boats also operate from Phuket, allowing passengers to explore nearby islands before arriving at James Bond Island. The trip usually includes stops at sea caves and hidden lagoons.
There are no restrooms directly on Koh Tapu (James Bond Island) itself, as the island is small and primarily a sightseeing spot. However, nearby Koh Ping Ghan, where most tour boats dock, does have basic restroom facilities. This island serves as the main area for visitors to explore, shop, eat and use amenities. We always plan stops with restroom access either here or at other nearby islands before or after visiting Koh Tapu.
Yes you can, but the best time to visit the islands is during the dry season, from November to April. Weather can be unpredictable during the rainy season, from May to October, which may affect our boat tours and activities. If you are unsure about the weather: please contact us so we can check the forecast for you!
Yes, a trip to James Bond island is especially suitable for children. The trip to James Bond island by boat is short, making it a perfect destination for families visiting Phuket. The transfer to Phang Nga bay takes around 45 minutes.
No, there are no accommodation options on the island. You can only stay on the island during the day and must leave before sunset. The floating fishermans village of Koh Panyee provides basic accommodation options which can be booked in advance through their agencies.
Yes, visitors are required to pay an entrance fee to visit the island. It’s currently set at THB 300 per adult and THB 150 per child. Infants up until 3 years old can enter for free. The fee includes the maintenance of the facilities on the islands and is there so locals can keep the islands clean and safe.
