This day tour was the highlight of our trip to Thailand. The drivers and guide were so friendly, helpful and accomodating (especially with my parents who needed a little extra assistance getting in and out of the long boats). All stops were unique, interesting and most enjoyable. Would highly recommend this tour operator - have already referred others who are staying at our resort to go!!! Thanks guys, a most memorable day!

Full description

First, you will get picked up from your hotel. Start this full-day tour visiting the famous Monkey Cave of Wat Suwan Kuha. Discover the many interconnected caves in the mountain and admire the gold reclining Buddha inside of the cave and explore the temple.

Then, jump on the long-tail boat and explore the magical mangrove forest of Ao Phang Nga National Park. Stop at Pan Yee Island which is a local muslim fishing village, where about 1600 people permanently live. Pan yee island is mostly made up of huge vertical limestone cliffs, and all houses and huts are built on stilts over the surrounding shallow sea! Here you will also enjoy a tasty lunch.

Next up we will take you to the activity spot that you all have been waiting for, James Bond Island, the island that became famous from the James Bond movie "The Man with the Golden Gun." You will be dropped off at Khao Phing Kan Island, where you can watch the famous James Bond limestone rock, standing tall in the waters! Explore the islands and take some photos at the iconic limestone formations that rise dramatically from the waters!

Then, experience the area’s beauty by sea canoe, paddling around Talu Island before returning to the pier. Your expert guide will paddle the canoe for you, as the waters in this area can be difficult for paddling.

The tour was amazing! Considering how expensive most other tours in the area are, we didn’t know what to expect from this one. We were taken to so any interesting places and, with the hotel pick up and lunch included, the value for money is incredible. Nikom was our guide and he was great. So knowledgeable and tried his best to make it as inclusive as possible for the non-English speaking tour guests considering it was an English speaking tour. Would definitely recommend and would definitely go again!! Thanks Nikom!!
