Itinerary
Get picked up in the early morning from your hotel in Phuket by Andaman Leisure and meet the boat crew at Phuket Boat Lagoon including a quick COVID-19 screening and a short briefing about the trip.
Then cruise on a comfortable speedboat with 2 or 3 engines (with 20 resp. 30 seats) into the sheer limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay that jut vertically out of the emerald-green water.
Make a stop at Koh Hong, and explore the hongs ('rooms' in Thai) that lie inside the island. These microcosms, hidden realms rich in unspoiled flora and fauna, are collapsed cave systems open to the sky and surrounded by towering limestone walls.
Continue to James Bond Island, also called Koh Ta-pu ('Nail Island' in Thai), first found its way onto the international map through its starring role in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). With its signature rocky pinnacle, the entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular.
Enjoy a Thai style lunch on Koh Panyee, a remarkable village - it's built out over the water, with a giant rock monolith guarding its rear. The hundreds of huts, shacks, restaurants and houses where the villagers live are built on stilts over the surrounding shallow sea.
After sightseeing of the unique mangrove forest by speedboat, try sea-kayaking, where you paddle sturdy fibreglass boats through caves into the mysterious heart of Koh Panak Island and Diamond Cave.
The last stop will be on Koh Rang Yai, a peaceful island about 5 km off the east coast of Phuket with a 1-km-long beach that's perfect to relax and swim in very warm waters - usually between 25°C to 35°C.
Pass by: If the sea conditions are not good enough, you will alternatively make a stop at Naka Island for some beach time.

Traveler reviews
Awesome Andy and ALP!
Great family day out on the Phang Nga Bay tour. We did canoeing in caves, mangrove swamps, lunch at a floating restaurant and beach time at a private island. Thanks Andy!
Excellent service
Very good service and food is nice as well
An excellent day out - great operator, spectacular islands
A great day out. Lots to see - canoeing was superb. Communication was excellent. The boat was fast and so the children weren’t bored, despite the relatively long first and last legs (up to 60 mins). The operators were professional and well-trained. Only slight disappointment was the food quality at lunch, though the venue was good. Overall, an excellent day out and thoroughly enjoyable visit to some of the most spectacular islands you’ll ever visit.
Great trip today!
Our trip today was lovely! Boat was comfortable and the staff were fab! Cooper our guide was friendly and informative. Our experience on the canoes was so good, we would definitely recommend it even with 3 kids it was great. And the guys on the canoes were a laugh.
Loved every second of it, kids loved it
Brilliant fun family time, great weather, lunch was great and the islands were so so beautiful, we will definitely return again one time
