Take a day trip from Phuket to James Bond and Yao Islands without an early start. Begin with snacks at a private pier, then cruise by speedboat into Phang Nga Bay, known for its landmarks in Thailand.

Stop at Panak Island to see caves and lagoons, then visit James Bond Island, the site from The Man with the Golden Gun. Move to the mangrove forest to view Poodle Rock and ancient paintings. Enjoy a buffet lunch at the floating village of Panyee Island.

After lunch, canoe through the mangroves at Hong Island. Then, relax on Yao Island’s Dragon Spine Beach with paddleboarding and transparent kayaking. End the trip at a private beach club and floating water park before heading back to Phuket.
