Phang Nga Bay Adventure: James Bond Island Rafting, Sea Canoe, ATV & Zipline
Spend a full day exploring Phang Nga Bay by speedboat: 5–7 km rafting, sea canoeing through tidal caves, a jungle ATV, and a 150 m zipline — plus cultural stops at Panyee Village and a Thai buffet lunch.
The Experience
Before You Go
Hydrate before and during the trip
Tropical heat and physical activities like rafting and ATV rides dehydrate quickly — bring a refillable bottle and use provided water.
Secure footwear
Wear closed-toe water shoes or sturdy sandals with straps for boarding boats, riverbanks and short jungle treks.
Protect against sun and rain
Reef-safe sunscreen and a lightweight rain shell cover most conditions; a hat and sunglasses help on the open water.
Carry small change for Panyee Village
The fishing village has vendors and donations spots that accept cash — keep coins and small bills handy.

Conservation Note
The bay’s limestone and marine habitats are sensitive to boat traffic and coral damage — follow guides’ instructions, avoid touching reefs and use reef-safe sunscreen.
Phang Nga Bay’s karst islands have long supported Malay fishing communities; Ko Tapu (James Bond Island) became internationally known after its film appearance in 1974.
