Phang Nga Bay & James Bond Island, small group — kayaking inside the sea caves and the karst tower, lunch on Koh Yao Noi. From ฿4,500 per person (minimum 6 guests for the boat to sail), eight hours, meeting at Boat Lagoon Marina at 07:00.
An eight-hour day in Phang Nga Bay run as a small group. The boat leaves Boat Lagoon Marina early, before the big ferries reach the bay.
You paddle into the sea caves of Koh Panak and Koh Hong — a Thai guide handles every canoe, so no experience is needed. Then the karst of James Bond Island itself, a swim at Treasure Island Beach, and lunch on Koh Yao Noi looking out over the archipelago. Torches and helmets for the caves, dry bags for your things, and afternoon tea on the way back are part of the day.
What are the highlights?
- Kayaking inside the sea caves of Koh Panak and Koh Hong
- A Thai paddle guide in every canoe — you are not left to figure it out
- Maximum eighteen guests, not a hundred-seat ferry
- Lunch on Koh Yao Noi with a view over the archipelago
