Phuket Day Trip Krabi Hong Island + Phang Nga Bay – James Bond

This Hong Island tour from Phuket combines two of the Andaman Sea’s most photographed spots in one speedboat day: Hong Island in Krabi, with its hidden lagoon and white-sand beach, and James Bond Island in Phang Nga Bay. Along the way you stop for lunch at Koh Panyee, a fishing village on stilts, look around Panak Island, and paddle into the sea caves of Phang Nga’s own Hong Island by canoe. The tour only runs on set days each week, so it tends to fill up early.
