All the details about your upcoming adventure in one place
Combining the dramatic limestone landscapes of Phang Nga Bay with the world-famous tropical beaches of the Phi Phi Islands is the holy grail of Thailand island hopping. This ambitious itinerary takes you across two distinct marine environments: the sheltered, emerald-green waters of the northern bay—home to the legendary 'Man with the Golden Gun' filming location—and the crystal-clear turquoise lagoons of the south, including the iconic Maya Bay. While these destinations are geographically distant, our partner operators utilize high-performance speedboats and luxury catamarans to bridge the gap, ensuring you spend less time traveling and more time snorkeling in Pi Leh Lagoon, exploring Viking Cave, and walking the white sands made famous by Hollywood. This is a high-energy, bucket-list experience designed for travelers who want to see the best of the Andaman Sea in a single, well-organized day.

Real experiences from real travelers
This was the highlight of our Phuket trip. Visiting James Bond Island in the morning and Phi Phi in the afternoon felt like two holidays in one. The speedboat was fast and comfortable. Highly recommend the private boat if you have a group!
We booked the Sawanu speedboat tour and it was incredible. The crew was so attentive. Maya Bay was breathtaking, and the snorkeling in Pi Leh Lagoon was like swimming in a giant pool. Booking through this platform was seamless.
It is a long day (about 12 hours) but you see so much. James Bond Island is iconic but crowded, so go early. The Phi Phi part was my favorite. The boat was stable even with some small waves.
We did the private boat tour and it was 5-star service all the way. We could stay longer at the spots we liked. Our guide knew exactly how to beat the crowds at James Bond Island. Perfect for our family.
The contrast between the green water of Phang Nga and the blue water of Phi Phi is amazing. The speed catamaran was very luxurious and worth the upgrade. Excellent lunch included!
Everything was organized perfectly. Pickup from our hotel in Patong was on time. The guide spoke great English and explained the history of Viking Cave. Snorkeling gear was high quality.
Be prepared for a lot of boat time, but the destinations are worth it. James Bond Island looks exactly like the movies. Maya Bay is paradise. Bring plenty of sunscreen!
The canoeing through the mangroves near James Bond Island was so peaceful. Then the transition to the bright blue water of Phi Phi was stunning. We saw so many tropical fish while snorkeling.
Everything you need to know for your journey
It depends on the specific tour you book. Some premium tours include the fees (approx. 400 THB for Phi Phi and 300 THB for James Bond), while others require payment in cash to the guide. Always check the 'Inclusions' section of your chosen tour.
The best time is during the dry season, from November to April, when the seas are calm and the water visibility is highest. However, tours run year-round, though some sites may be inaccessible during heavy monsoon swells.
Yes, most of our partner operators include round-trip transfers from major areas like Patong, Kata, Karon, and Krabi. Remote areas may incur a small additional surcharge.
Yes, Maya Bay is currently open to visitors, but swimming in the bay itself is often restricted to protect the coral reef. You can walk on the famous beach and take photos, but you will typically swim and snorkel in the nearby Pi Leh Lagoon instead.
Speedboats are generally faster and smaller, allowing for a more 'adventurous' feel. Speed catamarans offer two hulls, which provides significantly more stability, more deck space, and a smoother ride in choppy waters.
Yes, all our partner tours provide high-quality masks, snorkels, and life jackets. Fins are sometimes provided or available for rent at the pier.
The transit between Phang Nga Bay (James Bond) and the Phi Phi Islands takes approximately 45 to 60 minutes on a high-speed vessel, depending on sea conditions.
Absolutely! If you book one of the 'Private Boat' options, you can work with the captain and guide to spend more time at your favorite spots or visit hidden gems like Bamboo Island or Naka Island.
If the operator cancels the tour due to dangerous sea conditions, you will be offered a full refund or a date change. Safety is never compromised for weather.
Yes, almost all full-day tours include a buffet lunch, often served at a restaurant on Phi Phi Don or as a high-quality picnic on a private boat.
Yes, children are welcome! Most tours have discounted rates for kids. However, the long day and speedboat motion may be tiring for very young toddlers (under 3).
Space on speedboats is limited. You should only bring a day bag with essentials. If you are transferring between hotels, please contact the operator in advance to see if they can accommodate larger luggage.
