FAQ - Hong Krabi & James Bond Islands Speedboat
How much does the Hong Krabi & James Bond islands private speedboat tour cost?
Our Private Hong Island & James Bond Island Speedboat Tour is priced from ฿44,600 per boat, not per person. This rate covers your entire private group, making it ideal for couples, families, or small groups.
This is our most comprehensive private tour, covering two national parks in a single day — Hong Island in Krabi (Had Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park) and James Bond Island in Phang Nga Bay (Ao Phang Nga National Park). The price reflects the greater distance, additional fuel, longer time on the water, and entrance fees for both national parks.
The all-inclusive price covers a private speedboat charter with an experienced captain, a professional English-speaking guide, round-trip hotel transfers by air-conditioned minivan, entrance fees for both national parks, sea cave canoeing with professional local paddlers, a delicious Halal buffet lunch at Koh Panyee, life jackets, safety equipment, and full travel accident insurance. There are no hidden costs or surprise fees on the day.
For a shorter private tour, explore our Private James Bond Island Speedboat Tour from ฿33,300 or Private Longtail Boat Tour from ฿19,800.
What makes this tour different from the James Bond Island only tour?
This is our premium private speedboat tour because it combines between two completely different experiences in one unforgettable day.
First of all, the James Bond Island only tour focuses entirely on Phang Nga Bay, visiting Panak Island, Talu Island, James Bond Island, Panyee Island, and Naka Island. However, the Hong Krabi & James Bond Islands tour adds the stunning Hong Island in Krabi Province, which belongs to a separate national park.
As a result, you get to experience two distinct landscapes. Hong Island (Krabi) offers crystal-clear turquoise waters, white sandy beache and a panoramic viewpoint. In contrast, Phang Nga Bay features dramatic limestone karsts, hidden sea caves and the iconic James Bond Island.
Furthermore, this is the only tour where you can swim, relax with nature at Hong Island in the morning, then explore sea caves and visit James Bond Island in the afternoon. Consequently, if you want the most diverse and complete island experience from Phuket, this is the tour to choose.
Is the speedboat ride to Hong Island (Krabi) rough or far from Phuket?
Hong Island (Krabi) is located approximately 25 kilometers east of Phuket, which takes about 40 - 50 minutes by speedboat from Royal Phuket Marina. As a result, the journey is relatively short and comfortable.
Furthermore, the route passes through Phang Nga Bay, which is one of the calmest bodies of water in the Andaman Sea. Because the bay is naturally protected by dramatic limestone mountains on all sides, strong winds and large waves are extremely rare. However, if you are concerned about motion sickness, we recommend taking seasickness medication 30 minutes before departure. In addition, our experienced captains adjust speed for maximum passenger comfort throughout the journey.
Most importantly, the stunning scenery along the way including limestone karsts rising from emerald-green waters makes the boat ride itself one of the highlights of the tour.
Is this tour suitable for children, elderly travelers, or guests with limited mobility?
Yes, our Private Hong Island & James Bond Island Speedboat Tour is suitable for guests of all ages. We regularly welcome families with young children and elderly travellers on this tour. Because this is a private charter, the pace is entirely flexible — you can spend more time at locations your family enjoys and skip any activities that may not be suitable for certain members of your group.
At Hong Island, the beach is easily accessible directly from the speedboat. The viewpoint hike involves a long uphill trail, which may not be suitable for guests with limited mobility. Those guests can simply relax on the beach while others enjoy the viewpoint.
During sea cave canoeing, professional local paddlers do all the work — guests with limited mobility can still enjoy this activity comfortably. Life jackets are provided for all ages, and full travel accident insurance is included for every guest.
Please let us know about any special requirements when booking so our team can plan accordingly.
Looking for a more relaxed pace? Our Private James Bond Island Longtail Boat Tour offers an authentic Thai experience at a slower, scenic pace through the sheltered waters of Phang Nga Bay.
Which hotels do you pick up from? Is there an extra charge?
We provide free round-trip hotel transfers by air-conditioned minivan from most hotels across Phuket, including Patong, Kata, Karon, Kamala, Bang Tao, Surin, Phuket Town, and Rawai. For hotels in remote areas such as Mai Khao, Nai Yang, or Cape Panwa, a small surcharge may apply. If your hotel is outside Phuket province, such as Khao Lak or Phang Nga province, a private transfer can be arranged for an additional 3,500 THB per van (round trip). Hotel pickup typically begins around 8:00 AM, with arrival at Royal Phuket Marina in Phuket Province around 9:30 AM.
What happens if the weather is bad on the day of the tour?
The tour operates year-round, rain or shine. A light tropical shower rarely affects the experience and can make the limestone scenery even more dramatic. However, if extreme weather conditions such as a tropical storm occur, we may modify the itinerary for safety — for example, adjusting the order of stops or replacing one location with a sheltered alternative. If conditions are genuinely unsafe for boating, we will contact you in advance to offer rescheduling to another date during your stay or switching to an alternative tour. You will never lose your money due to weather cancellations.
Is Halal food available? Do I need to paddle the canoe myself?
You do not need to paddle at all. During the sea cave canoeing activity at Talu Island, each canoe comes with an experienced local paddler who guides you through the caves and mangrove forests — all you need to do is sit back and enjoy. Regarding food, lunch is served at a restaurant on Panyee Island, a traditional floating Muslim fishing village built entirely on stilts. Because Panyee Island is a Muslim community, all food served is Halal by default. Muslim travelers can enjoy every dish with complete confidence. Vegetarian and vegan options are also available on request.
