Royal Phuket Marina - Begin your one-day tour with an early pickup from your Phuket hotel. Meet the Siam Adventure World boat crew at Royal Phuket Marina. Receive safety and paddling instructions from your guide before setting off by speed boat to Phang Nga Bay, with a maximum of 30 passengers to ensure a comfortable experience.

Make your first stop at Phanak Island, a long, narrow island that marks the start of this unique area. Here, you can kayak through numerous caves, lagoons, and hongs around the island. Hongs, meaning ‘room,’ are collapsed caves formed within limestone pillars by rock erosion.

Continue to James Bond Island and explore this famous landmark in Phang Nga Bay on foot. It gained fame from its role in the James Bond movie ‘The Man with the Golden Gun.’ The distinctive outline of James Bond Island, or Koh Tapu (Nail Island), lies next to the equally renowned Khao Phing Kan.

Next, explore the labyrinthine mangrove swamp and enter sea caves at Lod Noi, known for its stunning stalactites.

The following stop is at the floating village of Koh Panyee. This extraordinary community of huts, shacks, restaurants, and houses, where Muslim villagers live, is built on stilts over the shallow sea. The exact number of wooden and concrete piles supporting this unique village is unknown, but it is a fascinating feat of informal engineering.

Enjoy lunch at a private restaurant on the island of Koh Yao Yai, a hidden gem between Phuket and Krabi, featuring coconut palms, rubber tree plantations, and even water buffaloes.

The final stop before returning to your Phuket hotel will be at Kudu or Nok Island, where you can relax and swim amidst breathtaking scenery.

Great adventure of sight seeing and snorkeling - It was a full day of eventful adventure: hiking up to the top of Phi Phi Island, snorkeling, swimming, sun bathing, and eat! The group was a great size, 25 people max. Our group has 22 and it was perfect! We were told that this operation was more of a higher end group, a bit more expensive, but the package offered was very good as well. It also has a photographer taking photos for you with high resolution quality, the photos were beautiful - above and underwater. In the end, we each had to pay 1,200 Bahts for the photos, which is around $35. But the quality was great. To me, it was worth spending. The food was not bad and there was plenty for all of us. Coconut juice in the real coconut was also provided free of charge. I had a great time!!!!

Perfect for those who don’t swim - My partner and I booked through this tour our hotel. Originally we wanted to have a sunrise trip but since it’s non-peak season that none is available. We are glad that we have chosen this bond and beyond! The pick up is though awkwardly early, the minivan was a new comfortable and clean vehicle. We only had 5 passenger on a 9 seater coach that we continued to sleep on the way to the pier. The breakfast is ok but most guests had hotel packed breakfast and so did we. We had 3 guides speaking like 5-6 languages for a 26 pax tours. There were also 3 staff taking care of the boats and a photographer taking photos. The James Bond islands, the floating island (we arrived too early that actually nothing was opened but it’s sweet to see little thai kids going to school and played around). The adventure was ok (should have wear sandals as we city person really couldn’t afford walking bare feet on sand and muddy road). The canoeing is definitely a bonus point as we thought we needed to do the canoe on our own but turned out a guide did the work for us and all we needed to do was to enjoy the view and take photos. There were complimentary cold drinks, biscuit, cold fruits served on board which was really good to refresh ourselves under such a hot weather. As we don’t swim, we chilled on the beach by sitting on a beach chair with a cold coconut under the shade. Yes, you have to pay for the canoe photo which was about 200 baht and extra 1400 baht for all the photos takes by the photographer along the tour. But I guess it’s a good souvenir. The photos were nicely taken.

Great tour but perhaps miss out the floating village - We really enjoyed the caving (first thing we did) but it felt a little rushed because of the incoming tide. Next stop James Bond Island which had plenty of time to take all the photos you wanted, use the facilities and take a few minutes to relax. The canoeing is around a mangrove grove and through a natural cave in the rocks, they take your photo frame it and expect you to buy it for 200 Thai baht which is nothing really but they did seem to expect it so be warned! The Muslim floating village was an experience I’d rather not have had, there was a monkey dressed up for tourists being swung around almost as soon as you got there which really upset me and ruined the visit for me, plus you get hassled by kids and adults alike to buy stuff. Next stop was lunch on a beautiful beach island but no swimming which was a bit odd. We then went to a beach we could swim at but again if you wanted a seat you had to pay 150 Thai baht per couple, not a huge amount but I don’t know what else you would do for an hour and a half with no seat and no shade so include it in your costs! Overall a really good little tour with perhaps a few tweaks could be excellent.
