Why Choose Our Hong Krabi & James Bond Island Speedboat Tour?
Our Hong Krabi & James Bond Island Tour is the only group speedboat tour departing from Phuket that covers two separate national parks in a single day — Hong Island in Krabi (Had Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park) and James Bond Island (Ao Phang Nga National Park). This is a genuinely rare itinerary that most tour operators simply cannot offer.
More distance, more diversity, more memories. In a single day you will experience the turquoise waters and coral reefs of the Andaman coast at Hong Island, the cultural richness of Koh Panyee floating Muslim village, the thrilling sea cave canoeing of Talu Island, and the world-famous limestone scenery of James Bond Island. Few tours anywhere in Thailand pack this level of variety into one day.
Sea cave canoeing with expert local paddlers — glide through naturally carved limestone tunnels and into breathtaking hidden lagoons that can only be reached by canoe. Your experienced local paddler handles everything — you simply sit back, breathe in the scenery, and let the magic of Phang Nga Bay surround you.
Hong Island viewpoint — one of the most spectacular panoramic views in the entire Andaman region, overlooking the turquoise bay and surrounding limestone islands from above. This stop alone is worth the journey and creates some of the most extraordinary photographs guests take home from Thailand.

FAQ — Hong Krabi & James Bond Island Speedboat Tour
How much does the Hong Krabi & James Bond Island Tour from Phuket cost?
The tour is priced per person as follows:
- Adult (Age 11–99): ฿5,500 per person
- Child (Age 3–10): ฿4,500 per person
- Infant (Age 0–2): Free of charge
The price is fully all-inclusive — covering hotel transfers, speedboat, swimming and snorkeling at Hong Island Krabi, sea cave canoeing, Halal buffet lunch at Koh Panyee, national park entrance fees for both parks, a professional English-speaking guide, life jackets, and full travel accident insurance. There are no hidden fees on the day.
Are national park entrance fees for both parks included?
Yes — national park entrance fees for both national parks are fully included in the tour price. This covers entry to Had Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park (Hong Island, Krabi) and Ao Phang Nga National Park (James Bond Island). All applicable park fees, pier fees, and environmental charges are included — there is nothing additional to pay at either park on the day.
Why does this tour cost more than other James Bond Island tours?
Because this is the only group speedboat tour from Phuket that visits two separate national parks in a single day — Hong Island in Krabi Province and James Bond Island in Phang Nga Province. Most James Bond Island tours visit only one national park and one province. This tour covers significantly greater distance by sea, includes additional national park entrance fees for both parks, and adds Hong Island Krabi — one of the most spectacular island destinations in all of Thailand — as a full stop in the itinerary. The higher price reflects the greater distance, additional fuel, two sets of national park fees, and the exceptional value of experiencing two of southern Thailand's most breathtaking destinations in a single day.

Is this tour suitable for families and children? Can children hike the Hong Island viewpoint?
This tour is generally suitable for families with children, though there are important considerations for the Hong Island viewpoint hike.
The viewpoint trail at Hong Island involves a moderately steep uphill hike of approximately 15 minutes each way on an uneven rocky path. We strongly recommend wearing closed-toe shoes or water shoes — flip-flops are not suitable. While older children and adults in good physical condition will manage comfortably, the trail is not recommended for young children, infants, or guests with limited mobility due to the steep and uneven terrain. Guests who prefer not to hike can remain at the beach below and enjoy the swimming and snorkeling while others visit the viewpoint.
What is the difference between this tour and the James Bond Island Speedboat Tour?
The key difference is the addition of Hong Island in Krabi — one of the most iconic island destinations in Thailand and the signature attraction of Krabi Province. On this tour, you visit two provinces and two national parks in a single day: Krabi Province (Hong Island, Had Noppharat Thara – Mu Ko Phi Phi National Park) and Phang Nga Province (James Bond Island, Ao Phang Nga National Park).
The James Bond Island Speedboat Tour visits only Phang Nga Bay and focuses on Panak Island cave exploration, Koh Panyee, Talu Island canoeing, and James Bond Island — at a lower price of ฿2,900/person. This tour adds Hong Island Krabi and covers significantly more ground, making it the most comprehensive single-day island tour available from Phuket.
