Just above the Thai island of Phuket, the Andaman Sea runs aground in Phang Nga Bay. This does not happen carelessly and without being noticed. The marine nature reserve here in the bay is among the most beautiful Thailand has. Cruise around this unique area on this day tour by boat from Phuket.

Today you will discover one of Thailand’s hidden treasures: Phang Nga Bay. Phang Nga Bay is famous for its steep limestone cliffs that tower straight out of the sea, its caves and amazing islands that look like mankind has never stepped foot on them.

We will pick you up at 7.30 a.m. and take you to our lounge in Royal Phuket Marina. Here you will depart at 9 a.m. by speedboat to the Phang Nga Islands, about an hour's sail. We head first towards Hong Island, where you can paddle a canoe through caves.

Still before lunch, you will visit the famous islands of Tapu and Ping-gan. Tapu you probably know best as James Bond Island. Lunch is at the fishing village of Koh Panyi built on stilts. Enjoy local Thai dishes while overlooking the blue-green waters of the bay.

We spend the afternoon near Koh Kai Nai Island where the main pursuits are relaxing, swimming and snorkelling. Around 4.30 p.m. you will be back at Royal Phuket Marina and transferred to your hotel.

What do you need? Bring swimming gear, shorts and a shirt. You will also need a towel, sunscreen, light deck shoes and possibly sunglasses and your camera.
