Get ready to see some of southern Thailand's most impressive natural spots on this boat tour of Phang Nga Bay. From floating villages and towering cliffs to hidden caves and tropical islands, this tour has a bit of everything – nature, culture and camera-worthy views. Nok, one of our local guides, adds, “I always tell guests that Phang Nga Bay has two sides. You'll see its famous limestone scenery from a distance, then by canoe you can slip between the cliffs and discover the quieter lagoons hidden inside.”
You'll start with a light breakfast at Samed Nangshee Skywalk, one of the top sunrise spots with sweeping views across the bay. Then, board a power catamaran to see the hidden caves at Panak Island before arriving at a secret lagoon. Here, paddle power takes over as you canoe between limestone cliffs with a local guide. Next up is James Bond Island, or Khao Ping Kan. You'll see its leaning limestone formations and Ko Ta Pu, the iconic 20-metre rock jutting out of the sea – made famous by its appearance in a classic Bond film - The Man with the Golden Gun.
Afterwards, there's a change of pace. You'll visit Koh Panyee, a floating village known for its football pitch on water and lively fishing scene. You'll tuck into a tasty Thai lunch at a local spot before heading to the tropical island of Naka. Take a leisurely hour or so to relax on the pristine sands or swim in the emerald waters.
