James Bond Island
Full Day from Yao Noi or Yao Yai Island
A Phang Nga Bay trip from Koh Yao Noi or Koh Yao Yai is not just a scenic boat ride. It is a step straight into the frames of legendary cinema. Most travelers know James Bond Island from The Man with the Golden Gun, but few realize that almost every corner of the bay has appeared across major films from Hollywood, Asia, and Europe. This journey takes you to those real locations. Not to simply look, but to stand where world-class directors once placed their cameras.
With a route designed with absolute precision, the tour leads you through every gorgeous point shaped by nature and chosen by filmmakers. Our boat glides past towering limestone cliffs, mirror-bright emerald water, hidden caves, sea waterfalls, and floating villages that feel lifted from a movie set. James Bond Island is only the beginning. Each stop is handpicked with the same standard of detail, beauty, and atmosphere that made these locations cinematic icons.
As an Upper Class experience by JC Tour, comfort and safety come first. Group sizes are controlled to avoid crowding, the program is paced to prevent fatigue, and every landing spot is assessed for tides, boat traffic, and visibility. You enjoy the sense of exclusivity without pressure or rush. The goal is simple: let you see Phang Nga Bay in the clearest, richest way possible while feeling fully taken care of from the first step on board to the last moment of the journey.
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.

Hong Island, Phang Nga Bay
This is the path into a hidden world, a series of sea caves tucked quietly beneath towering limestone mountains. The entrance is a twisting stone tunnel that feels like a doorway to another realm. Inside, the caves open into vast chambers connected like dozens of secret rooms, each with its own shape, depth, and character. This variety turns every step into a new scene, a small adventure that stays playful, mysterious, and thrilling from start to finish.
Nature within these chambers remains untouched. Stalactites and stalagmites catch the beam of your flashlight and glow like sculptures from an old tale. The rhythmic tap of dripping water echoes through the darkness, sending a soft shiver through the silence. At times you may hear rare forest birds, or even catch sight of small cave creatures that have lived here far longer than we can imagine. The beauty of this place is not only what you see. It is what you feel along the way, as if nature is telling you a story in a language that needs no words at all.
Lagoon of James Bond
If you pay close attention to Hollywood films shot in Phang Nga Bay, whether 007 or those that followed, you will notice one signature scene. A hidden lagoon sealed inside towering limestone walls. It is the refuge of key characters, the turning point of a story, the breath of nature that resets the pace. Every time the camera glides into this secret bowl of emerald water, audiences let out a quiet “wow”. The beauty is too intricate, too surreal, too alive to ever be built in a studio.
Reaching this lagoon is not simple. Tides shift, currents change, and most tours avoid the route altogether. JC Tour does the opposite. We study tides hour by hour, coordinate entry windows, and use small maneuverable boats to ensure safe passage. What begins as a risk becomes your most seamless moment. You will not just view the lagoon from the outside. You will enter it, float in its stillness, and feel the world fall silent around you. No special effects, no staging. Only a rare experience delivered with care strong enough to protect the magic.
3 Important scenes of movie.
Koh Tapu, known worldwide as James Bond Island, is a dream destination for many thanks to its famous film appearance. But seeing it in person hits deeper than anything on screen. The sharp limestone pillar rising straight out of the sea feels almost deliberately placed, as if nature designed it to be the opening shot of an adventure. Even the shoreline, covered in fine white shell fragments, looks like a set built for a scene that needed something gentle, rare, and otherworldly.
The James Bond Cave carries its own quiet drama. It begins on one side of the island and leads you through to the other, a secret corridor once imagined in films as a villain’s hidden chamber. In reality it is a path that makes you slow down, breathe, and watch the shadows dance across the water-polished rock. A few steps beyond, the twin leaning cliffs appear, closing in toward each other like a natural gateway. It is the kind of sight that stops you without warning. Not only because it is beautiful, but because it radiates a strange energy that makes you feel as if you have crossed into another world.
Floating Village
Koh Panyee, a floating fishing village as old as the island’s own story, is more than a quick sightseeing stop. It is a place to explore and feel the rhythm of a community that has lived above the water for generations. You will stroll through the local bazaar filled with handcrafted souvenirs, pass by the small school, and see the floating mosque that still anchors the village’s belief and unity. Life here moves at its own quiet pace, shaped by the sea and held together by tradition.
At the heart of the village lies its most iconic symbol, the floating football field built by children from scraps of wood. It is not just a place to play. It is proof of resilience, imagination, and a shared belief that anything is possible even on a patch of space drifting above the sea. On the way back, the journey carries one last gift as the boat slips beneath a giant limestone tunnel. Nature refuses to let the day end quietly, offering a final breathtaking scene to close your special trip.

Program: Phang Nga Bay Tour |
 |
 |
| 08:00 |
Pick up from all hotels on Koh Yao Noi or Koh Yao Yai.
At the pier, your JC Tour guide greets you and gives a full briefing before departure. The journey begins aboard a large traditional long-tail boat designed specifically for exploring Phang Nga Bay. It is equipped with full safety gear, powered by a strong engine, yet runs smoothly across the water. Today’s destination is Hollywood Bay, also known as Phang Nga Bay. |
| 09:30 |
The boat enters the mangrove channel, surrounded by lush green forest and calm jade water. Strange and beautiful limestone islands rise all around.
Stop at Koh Hong (Phang Nga), one of the key filming locations featured in famous Hollywood productions such as James Bond 007 and Cutthroat Island.
Here you may choose to join a kayak trip with a paddler (optional, not included in the tour price) to explore the hidden passages under the limestone mountains. The route is filled with caves, stalactites, stalagmites, and winding waterways that feel both mysterious and exciting. |
| 10:00 |
Arrive at the highlight of the trip, the main filming area of 007.
Begin with Koh Tapu, widely known as James Bond Island.
Continue to Sea Shell Beach, the spot where Bond appeared on what looks like sand but is actually pure powdered seashell.
Visit Khao Ping Kan, the leaning limestone wall that stands like a massive natural sculpture.
Enter the 007 Cave, a tunnel that cuts through the island from one side to the other. In the film The Man with the Golden Gun, it was the villain’s secret base.
The cave opens into a hidden lagoon surrounded by cliffs. It is stunning enough to make Bond say “wow” in the movie, and it rarely fails to impress anyone who sees it in real life. |
| 12:00 |
Arrive at the floating village of Koh Panyee, once the gathering base for every Hollywood crew that filmed in the bay. The village remains full of life to this day.
Guests may enjoy lunch at any of the floating restaurants at their own expense. |

Guided visit through the village highlights.
See the floating football field built from community effort and childhood dreams.
Walk through the small school, the floating mosque, and the local bazaar filled with handmade goods crafted by the fishing community. |
| 14:00 |

On the way, the boat passes through a sea cave tunnel once used in a famous chase scene where Bond sped straight through. Today you will see that moment come to life with your own eyes. |
| 15:00 |
Arrive back at Koh Yao safely, carrying memories from a trip that went beyond sightseeing and placed you right inside the world of international cinema. |
