Donna and me took this trip yesterday it was well worth it. Booked after reviews in TripAdvisor and does exactly what it says we arrived everywhere before the madding crowds. Crowd were made up of Americans French Greek and Brits good crowd we all love Americans Meet. by out guide Jane at Marina for tea coffee and light snack headed out to meet the 2 man crew and we were off to first stop to see sunrise at 06.40 then on to first island Bamboo for lovely light breakfast seen hermit crabs and 6ft plus monitor lizard, can't recall all the names of the islands but the setting for the film The Beach is most picturesque. 2 snorkelling stop and then fantastic lunch on last island which is only 15mins from Marina. Seemed expensive when booked but worth every penny. Can't fault it time flew by. Thanks again to Jane and the crew well and truly ticked my bucket list Read Less

Going earlier, watching the sunrise, and being the first boat on the islands was worth it. The trip also was very well organized with almost no waiting anywhere. I was told I will get picked up from my hotel at 5:05 and the bus was there at 5. The check-in at the office before boarding the boat was also quick. The guides were very nice and helpful. So even though there are cheaper trips, I would pick this one instead again. Definitely recommended. Read Less

Our group of 5 enjoyed this excursion greatly. Everything about this tour exceeded our expectations. The tour group was small, the boat was clean, the guides were helpful, funny and extremely informative. We enjoyed a wonderfully delicious breakfast when we arrived on the first island, and enjoyed spectacular views unobstructed by the large amounts of boats and tourists at all other islands. We had fantastic weather, calm seas and an absolute BLAST. We loved everything about this excursion and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to book! Read Less

Tour Overview

Below is a sample itinerary and general overview of the places we visit on this trip.

Duration 7/8 hours on the water (approximately).

Like all of our day trips, ‘the early bird catches the worm’… and most importantly avoids the crowds! We aim to leave the Royal Phuket Marina by 7am – 7:15am.

 

 

Stop 1

Koh Phanak

Koh Phanak is often our first Phang Nga Bay stop for some intriguing cave exploration. Like Swiss cheese, Phanak is full of hidden caves, lagoons and hongs. We aim to select the very best location depending on the tide and weather on your day. So fire up your torches and step into a prehistoric world! Sightseeing is a strong suit of our tours since you will have the chance to see exclusive sights that not many people have seen in their lives.

Stop 2

Sea Canoeing

Koh Hong is a stunning location for a scenic canoe trip. It is simply the best way to see these Phang Nga Bay geological wonders up close and personal. Let the Thai guide take you into hongs and limestone caves only accessible by canoe. Cruise the waters on the canoes and marvel in the real beauty that has formed over hundreds of years, creating an amazing Thailand spectacle that will remain forever in your memory.

Stop 3

Koh Phing Kan and Koh Tapu (James Bond Island)

Arguably the most famous spot in Phang Nga Bay, it's been a Mecca for Thailand and Western tourists for over four decades, is the James Bond Island stop. You’ve come all this way and as Simba generally arrives well before the masses, we make a quick stop to see what all the fuss is about. This limestone marvel is perfect for you to take pictures.

Stop 4

Treasure Island / Secret Hong or Kadu Beach

Depending on weather conditions and currents we will stop at either Secret Hong (a fantastic hidden cave, only accessible by swimming through a narrow passage) or enjoy the peaceful surrounds of Kadu, a small secluded bay and beach near the top of Koh Yao Noi. It’s the perfect opportunity to cool off before we move across Phang Nga Bay to our lunch stop.

Stop 5

Koh Yao Noi

As described, a truly unique Thailand location, still holding fast to a traditional existence in the face of it’s bustling brother, Phuket. Our Phang Nga Bay journey takes a decidedly ‘terra firma’ turn, as we take a short trip across the south of the island to a stunning local Thai restaurant for a delicious Thai lunch.

Stop 6

Tropical Beach

The afternoon will allow us to guide you to any number of beautiful beaches depending on tide and weather conditions. This is a chance to swim, relax, read a book, or enjoy a light afternoon tea and sample the Phang Nga Bay limestone scenery before heading home.
