Detailed itinerary

1

Our friendly driver will pick you up from your hotel's main lobby around 7:30 am and head to our Ao Po Pier. Coffee, tea, and snack are served at our Pier while you are getting a program introduction and safety briefing by our local experienced English-speaking tour guide.

2
Stop 2

Our boat will bring you around the Phang Nga Bay region for sightseeing.

3

We will hop to our speedboat to the first stop Koh Panak, over there we will stop for our customer to take beautiful photos.

Limestone is calcium carbonate, which is generally white. Over millions of years, the skeletons from a constant rain of marine organisms, plus the chemical precipitation of yet more calcium carbonate build thick layers of sediment. Eventually, the heat and pressure of their own weight turn these strata, hundreds of metres thick, to stone. A variety of geological forces have then fractured the limestone beds and pushed up the 40 steep-sided islands that provide the exotic scenery for which this shallow bay is noted. Mineral oxides from various sources paint the vari-coloured streaks that characterise the cliffs of Phang Nga Bay.

4

We will go to Hong island for sea-canoeing, experience paddler will bring you to see weird rock formations, limestone outcrops, hidden lakes, and limestone caves.

Hongs of Phang Nga And there are lost worlds awaiting discovery. It wasn't many years ago that aerial surveys first revealed the Hong, or 'rooms', that lie inside some of Phang Nga's islands. These fabulous microcosms, hidden realms rich in unspoiled flora and fauna, are collapsed cave systems open to the sky and surrounded by towering limestone walls. Try sea-kayaking, where you paddle sturdy plastic boats through caves into the mysterious hearts of islands such as Koh Panak and Koh Hong.

5
Stop 5

We will go to Khao Ping Gan (Leaning Rock), which was featured in the James Bond movie The Man With the Golden Gun as Scaramanga's hideaway. Over there, our guide will bring you guys to take lots of creative photos.

James Bond Island is a famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay. It first found its way onto the international tourist map through its starring role in the James Bond movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. A distinctive feature of this famous bay is the number of sheer limestone cliffs that vertically jut out of the emerald-green water. The bizarre, why-doesn’t-it-fall-over outline of James Bond Island or Koh Tapu (meaning Nail Island in Thai), lies next to the equally well known Koh Ping Ghan (sometime spell ‘Ping Gan’ or ‘Ping Gun’). The entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular, but it can get crowded with tourist boats in high season.

6

Roughly about noon, we will bring you to Ko Panyi, a village built on stilts, for a buffet lunch. Our guide will bring you a tour around the island for 30 minutes after lunch (good for digestion).

7

Our next stop is trekking to the cave. We will bring you guys to see the famous Ice-Cream Diamond Cave. (Safely helmet is provided)

8

Our last stop will be Naka Noi Island. You can swim, tanning, or relax at the beach. Jet Ski and the banana boat are available for rent. (Private Vendor in Naka Island) At about 5 pm, we will bring you back to the pier. Coffee and tea are served while waiting for the driver to pick you back at the hotel. Roughly 6 pm - 6:30 pm you will reach back to your hotel.
