James Bond Island, which became famous thanks to the movie “The Man with the Golden Gun”, is one of the most recognizable attractions of Phang-Nga Bay. The high limestone cliffs and calm waters around the island create spectacular views that are ideal for sailing on a yacht.

History of the island

Previously, the island was called "Ko Tapu", which means "wedge" or "nail". Its unique shape attracted the attention of the director who shot the 1974 film "The Man with the Golden Gun". The island's appearance in the film made it famous for a short time, and it was soon renamed "James Bond Island," which led to an increase in tourist traffic.

James Bond Island is one of the many limestone islands in Phang Nga Bay, formed more than 150 million years ago. This archipelago was once a coral reef, which eventually turned into unique islands and rocks due to the influence of nature. Here you can see stalactites and grottoes, as well as explore beautiful lagoons by kayaking. Phang Nga Bay is part of Au Phang Nga National Marine Park, and the island itself became a nature reserve in 1981.

Reviews from Our Guests

I would like to share my experience here. It’s not all bad. I personally never got to take the tour because it never even got that far. I contacted them through WhatsApp and got a quick response, which was great. I clarified everything and booked the tour from 2 PM to 6 PM. I confirmed multiple times that I would be coming to the tour and asked what I should bring, etc. The next morning, I woke up to a message saying that I was not supposed to have booked the tour because I had not made a prepayment, even though I had asked multiple times where I could pay. They then only sent me the payment methods, but without any payment link. On top of that, messages from the operator had been deleted, which confused me as well. Poor communication 👍🏽

My friends and I chose option “James Bond Island by catamaran”. I’ve never traveled with this company before but heard good things about them and turned out every word was true. We had an amazing experience, the crue is thoughtful, attentive and caring. We shared a really great time, and for very good price which is a nice part too. Next time here I will definitely choose Dream Charter for swimming adventures
