Highlights

Boat Lagoon - Get picked up in the early morning from your hotel in Phuket by Andaman Leisure and meet the boat crew at Phuket Boat Lagoon including a quick COVID-19 screening and a short briefing about the trip.
Phang Nga Bay. - Then cruise on a comfortable speedboat with 2 or 3 engines (with 20 resp. 30 seats) into the sheer limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay that jut vertically out of the emerald-green water.
Hongs of Phang Nga - Make a stop at Koh Hong, and explore the hongs (‘rooms’ in Thai) that lie inside the island. These microcosms, hidden realms rich in unspoiled flora and fauna, are collapsed cave systems open to the sky and surrounded by towering limestone walls.
James Bond Island - Continue to James Bond Island, also called Koh Ta-pu (‘Nail Island’ in Thai), first found its way onto the international map through its starring role in the James Bond movie, The Man with the Golden Gun (1974). With its signature rocky pinnacle, the entire area surrounding this island is indeed spectacular.
Ko Panyi - Enjoy a Thai style lunch on Koh Panyee, a remarkable village - it’s built out over the water, with a giant rock monolith guarding its rear. The hundreds of huts, shacks, restaurants and houses where the villagers live are built on stilts over the surrounding shallow sea.
Koh Panak Cave - After sightseeing of the unique mangrove forest by speedboat, try sea-kayaking, where you paddle sturdy fibreglass boats through caves into the mysterious heart of Koh Panak Island and Diamond Cave.
Ko Rang Yai - The last stop will be on Koh Rang Yai, a peaceful island about 5 km off the east coast of Phuket with a 1-km-long beach that’s perfect to relax and swim in very warm waters - usually between 25Â°C to 35Â°C.
Naka Island - If the sea conditions are not good enough, you will alternatively make a stop at Naka Island for some beach time.

Gorgeous locations - Amazing trip had by all. Small group on a reasonably sized boat. The tour guide was great and the locations were stunning. The highlight of the trip was the last stop on a stunning beach island. Would highly recommend for a relaxing day out.

Worth doing! - Had a great time. The staff were very helpful and informative. A great way to experience the natural beauty of the islands of Phuket. The kayak guides were very friendly and happy to point out features and wildlife native to the area. Would recommend this to people wanting to get an overview of the many islands that litter the coast.
