Getting there

Boat Tour

To reach James Bond Island, the most common way is to book a boat tour that departs from either Ao Po Pier or Phang Nga Bay. If you're in Patong, take a local songthaew (shared taxi) to Ao Po Pier (approximately 30-40 minutes). From there, you can find various tour operators offering day trips to James Bond Island. Make sure to book in advance during peak seasons.

Longtail Boat

Another option is to take a longtail boat from either the beaches near Khao Lak or from Phuket's Chalong Pier. From Patong, you can take a songthaew to Chalong Pier (around 30 minutes). Once at Chalong Pier, hire a longtail boat to take you directly to James Bond Island. This option may take longer but offers a more scenic route.

Tour Bus

You can also join a guided tour that includes transportation. Many tours offer pick-up from popular areas like Patong, Kata, and Karon. Check with your hotel for local tour companies. The bus will take you to the pier, then transfer you to a boat that will take you to James Bond Island.
