Activities

Full-day Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island catamaran tour from Phuket

Take one look at the limestone karsts rising from emerald-green waters and it's easy to see why Phang Nga Bay is one of Thailand's must-see spots. You'll hop across four of the bay's islands on this full-day tour, powering across the sea by catamaran. Leave Royal Phuket Marina and head to your first stop, Samed Nangshe Skywalk, where the transparent walkway leads to panoramic views across the bay. You'll cruise into the heart of Phang Nga Bay, exploring the hidden caves and lagoons of Panak Island before stopping at the world-famous James Bond Island, where The Man with the Golden Gun was filmed. Next up is a real treat – a traditional Thai buffet lunch at the floating village of Koh Panyi. Built entirely on stilts above the water, this unique fishing village offers a fascinating glimpse into local life.Afterwards, swap the catamaran for a canoe and paddle quietly through mangrove forests and sheltered waterways, reaching peaceful spots that larger boats can't access. Your final stop is Naka Island, where you can slow the pace right down. Take a swim, stretch out on the soft sand or simply soak up the tropical scenery before cruising back to Phuket. It's a day that packs in Thailand's most iconic sights, alongside plenty of quieter corners that make Phang Nga Bay so special.

Activities

Full-day early Phi Phi and Bamboo Islands by power catamaran from Phuket with optional transfers

You'll bound out of bed as dawn is breaking for this Thai island-hopping adventure. The draw of swimming in the shallows of the Bamboo and Phi Phi Islands is made even sweeter by the luxury power catamaran you'll be sailing there on. Local guide, Somsak, always looks forward to this tour, ‘you're really seeing the best of island life, from the soft white beaches and cheeky jungle monkeys, to some of the clearest waters with top visibility for snorkelling.' Start with a light breakfast at the Royal Phuket Marina, then board the sleek and speedy catamaran that'll whisk you across the Andaman Sea to southern Thailand's best-loved islands. You'll start with the Phi Phi Island's big hitter – Maya Bay – made famous by its starring role in the Leo DiCaprio flick The Beach. Tourist numbers are limited here, but you'll walk the jungle trail down to the beach.Next, take a dip in Pileh Lagoon before sailing past Viking Cave for a look – it's a jagged opening in the cliffside that looks like a mouth about to swallow you whole. You'll stop at Monkey Bay, where you're likely to spot wild macaques in the jungle. Then, don a mask and snorkel to explore the colourful coral reefs nearby. Tuck into an international buffet lunch and take a wander around the island before finishing the tour with a stop at Bamboo Island. The white sandy beaches and clear blue waters here make it the perfect place to swim, snorkel or simply soak up the rays.
