Description

Discover the dramatic limestone scenery of Phang Nga Bay on a comfortable full-day big boat tour from Phuket. Combine relaxing sightseeing with sea canoeing, a visit to iconic James Bond Island, swimming when conditions allow, and a Thai buffet lunch served aboard the boat. Begin with shared pickup from your hotel in Patong, Kata, or Karon and transfer to the departure pier. Meet the local team, receive a safety briefing, and board the spacious big boat for your journey into Phang Nga Bay. Relax on board as you cruise past limestone cliffs, mangrove landscapes, and islands rising dramatically from the emerald-green water. The larger boat offers a more relaxed journey than a speedboat and is a comfortable choice for families and travelers who prefer a steadier cruising experience. At the designated canoeing locations, step into a canoe with an experienced local paddler. Glide through sea caves and sheltered lagoons while admiring the limestone formations from water level. Canoeing routes and cave access depend on the tide and sea conditions. Continue to James Bond Island, made famous by the 1974 film The Man with the Golden Gun. Enjoy time to explore, take photos, and see the distinctive limestone formation of Ko Tapu rising from the bay. During the tour, enjoy a freshly prepared Thai buffet lunch aboard the big boat, along with drinking water, refreshments, snacks, and seasonal fruit according to the day’s service. When weather, tide, and sea conditions allow, there may also be an opportunity to swim at a suitable location. Swimming is optional and may be changed or canceled for safety reasons. After completing the day’s activities, cruise back to the pier and continue by shared vehicle to your hotel or designated drop-off point. The National Park entrance fee is already included, so no additional National Park payment will be collected during the tour.
