★ 5.0 · 7 reviews⏱ 7 hours – 8 hours📍 Thailand

About this tour

Spend a full day exploring Phang Nga Bay's dramatic limestone cliffs and sea caves aboard a large boat departing from Phuket. You'll paddle kayaks through mangrove-lined lagoons and hidden grottos, swim in emerald waters, and visit the limestone formations that featured in the 1974 Bond film. A Thai lunch and all canoeing gear are included in this 7–8 hour outing.

Highlights

  • Kayak into sea caves and emerald lagoons inaccessible by boat
  • Limestone towers rising straight from turquoise water
  • Filming locations from "The Man with the Golden Gun"
  • White-sand beaches for swimming and sunbathing
  • Thai buffet lunch with dietary options
  • Mangrove forest paddling at close range
  • Life jackets and paddles supplied

What to expect

You'll board a sizeable tour boat with other travellers and motor out into Phang Nga Bay. Most of the day is spent in a kayak—paddling through narrow cave passages, gliding past submerged mangrove roots, and exploring tidal lagoons. The famous limestone stack and surrounding formations appear much grander at water level. Expect a mid-morning or midday swim stop at a beach, then lunch served on the boat or island. Afternoon paddling takes you through quieter grottos before the return journey. The pace is leisurely; fitness requirements are minimal, though basic kayak comfort helps.

Good to know

National park entrance (300 THB adult, 150 THB child) is separate. Bring a towel and waterproof bag. Not suitable for pregnant women, infants, or those with spinal or serious cardiovascular conditions. The boat carries many passengers; expect company rather than intimacy.
