Poznávací výlet na ostrov James Bond

You’ll enjoy a scenic 45-minute cruise to reach the stunning Phang Nga Bay, home to dozens of dramatic limestone islands, both large and small. These unique formations were once part of mountain ranges during the Ice Age and gradually emerged from the sea as glaciers melted. Even before the first stop, simply soaking in this breathtaking landscape makes the journey truly worthwhile.

Our first stop is usually James Bond Island, and we aim to arrive early to avoid the crowds coming from Phuket. You'll take a short walk through the island to reach a small beach, where you can snap the iconic photo with the famous limestone rock featured in The Man with the Golden Gun. It’s a must-see highlight and a perfect photo opportunity.

Sea kayaking is one of the highlights of the trip. Two people share a kayak, while a local Thai guide paddles you through peaceful mangroves and under towering limestone cliffs. It’s a relaxing, scenic experience with no effort required on your part. By joining, you’re also supporting local eco-tourism, as most of the kayak guides come from nearby sea villages.

Exploring the stunning sea caves and hidden lagoons (hongs) is one of the most memorable parts of the tour. Depending on weather and sea conditions, you may visit one of these incredible caves: Lod Cave (Tham Lod): Paddle through a dramatic tunnel to emerge into a hidden lagoon surrounded by towering cliffs. Mangrove Cave: Surrounded by lush mangrove forests, this cave is a great spot to see wildlife like monkeys and kingfishers. Ice Cream Cave (Tham Phung Chang): Famous for its unique stalactites and stalagmites that look like melting ice cream. Each cave offers a unique and breathtaking experience in Phang Nga Bay’s natural wonderland.

Our final stop is usually the famous sea village built on stilts, recently featured in a Turkish Airlines commercial. Upon arrival, our captain will point out the restaurant where you’ll enjoy lunch later. Before that, you’ll have time to explore the village, which includes a floating football field, a schoolyard, simple houses and huts, and many souvenir shops. The local community here depends entirely on tourism and fishing for their livelihood, making your visit meaningful and supportive.

After about 6 hours of adventure, you’ll take the longtail boat back to Koh Yao Yai, where a car will be waiting to drive you back to your resort. It’s been a full and exciting day, and exploring this breathtaking area is a must-do experience for first-time visitors to Thailand.
