About this experience

Phang Nga Bay is a drowned karst landscape — hundreds of sheer limestone towers rising straight out of jade-green water, riddled with tidal caves. This trip pairs a big longtail cruise with guided sea-canoeing into the hongs (collapsed cave lagoons you can only enter at the right tide). You will visit Ko Tapu — "James Bond Island" — and the stilt-village of Ko Panyee for lunch, where the entire settlement floats on the sea.

Highlights

  • Sea-canoe with a paddler-guide into the tidal hongs
  • Photo stop at Ko Tapu / James Bond Island
  • Seafood lunch in the floating Muslim village of Ko Panyee
  • Panak and Hong island cave systems
  • Suitable for first-time paddlers and families
