More information

Start your day with a convenient hotel pickup from your accommodation in Phuket, then head to Ao Por Pier to meet your friendly crew. Board the charming big wooden boat and set off on your adventure to Phang Nga Bay! While onboard, enjoy fresh seasonal fruits and refreshing drinks as your tour guide briefs you about the 50-minute ride to Panak Island, all while taking in the breathtaking views of the Andaman Ocean.

Arrive at Panak Island and dive into the emerald waters, surrounded by towering cliffs and dramatic limestone rocks. Canoe through the crystal-clear waters with your guide, exploring mysterious sea caves and experiencing the mangrove forests and unique karst formations from a whole new perspective.

Next, get ready to visit the world-famous James Bond Island, known for its starring role in the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun. The island, also known as Khao Tapu (meaning "nail" or "spike" in Thai), is part of the stunning Khao Phing Kan group of islands.

After exploring this iconic spot, relax and enjoy a delicious buffet lunch onboard while cruising towards Hong or Talu Island. Once there, you’ll have the chance to canoe through an ancient cave and marvel at the fascinating rock formations shaped by nature—some even resemble animals!
