Phuket Islands Catamaran Day Tour to James Bond and Phi Phi

About this experience
Discover Phuket’s iconic island scenery on a full-day catamaran tour to James Bond Island, Phang Nga Bay, and the Phi Phi Islands. Designed for travelers who love dramatic cliffs, emerald lagoon views, floating village culture, and photo-worthy sea views, this route brings Phang Nga Bay and Phi Phi together in one scenic day. Canoe into Hong Lagoon, take photos at James Bond Island, and enjoy lunch at Koh Panyi, a village built on stilts over the water. Continue to Bamboo Island for beach time, then see Phi Phi Don, Monkey Bay, Phi Phi Leh, and Pi Leh Lagoon from the boat. End at Khai Nok Island, a rewarding final beach stop that adds extra island time after James Bond Island and Phi Phi, making this Phuket catamaran route feel even more complete.
