About this tour
Speed across Phang Nga Bay by private speedboat to reach the limestone islands and mangrove forests that served as backdrops for James Bond films. This eight-hour adventure skips the crowded mainland routes, threading through channels between dramatic karst peaks and hidden coves. You'll snorkel at secluded spots, eat traditional Thai lunch onboard, and have a local guide narrate the geology and film history. The tour departs from Ao Nang near Krabi and accommodates groups of two or more.

What to expect
You'll board a speedboat at dawn and head into Phang Nga Bay, weaving between towering limestone formations and through narrow mangrove channels. Expect two or three snorkelling stops at quieter reefs and lagoons, where you'll wear provided masks and life jackets. A Thai guide points out rock formations, local wildlife, and James Bond filming trivia as you cruise. Mid-tour, the crew anchors and serves a cooked lunch of regional Thai dishes. The ride is fast but not relentlessly bumpy; you'll have calm moments exploring tide pools and beach walks. By afternoon, you return to Ao Nang.
