This guided tour with
lunch introduces you to the exquisite locations across Ao Phang-Nga National
Marine Park. Boasting a cluster of 42 magnificent islands in an area of 400
square kilometers, it lets you relish the region’s natural scenery augmented by
mind-soothing greenery, massive limestone formations, isolated caves, and
pristine waters. You’ll mainly visit Phang Nga Bay, Koh Hong, Koh Panyi, and
most of all, the legendary James Bond Island on this tour.
After a smooth transfer
from your Phuket hotel to the pier on Phang Nga Bay, board a safe boat to start
with your scenic island exploration. Enjoy refreshments and snacks while absorbing
the lush beauty and tranquility of the mangrove forests along the way. The
first stop is at the crescent-shaped Hong Island which takes your breath away
with its white powdery beaches, crystal-clear aquamarine waters, and shallow
coral reefs, among others. Don’t miss to see its secret lagoon which is
accessible via a kayak or a canoe.
You’ll then make your
way to Khao Phing Kan. It is also called James Bond Island, being the location
of the popular James Bond movie released in 1974 – ‘The Man with the Golden
Gun.’ Take in the iconic Ko Tapu limestone cliff that rise from the water and
discover the island’s untouched majesty with the help of a canoe. Next, you’ll
proceed to Panyi Island – a quaint Muslim settlement built on stilts over the
sea. Here, you can fuel up your energy by savoring a scrumptious traditional
lunch.
Prior to your return,
you’ll also get the chance to enjoy a variety of activities at Naka Island,
such as swimming and sun bathing.
