About this experience
Caves, mangrove forests and a floating village – this Phang Nga Bay island-hopping excursion has all the ingredients for a perfect day out. You'll be whisked from island to island – four in total – by speedboat, snorkel in glittering waters, and even give canoeing a go.
The first of our four islands are Ko Panak. After an exhilarating speedboat ride, you'll explore the beautiful cave and lagoon there – keep an eye out for the ice cream-shaped stalactite. Next up is canoeing at Ko Hong. This is a great way to get close to nature and enjoy a new perspective of the limestone cliffs and turquoise waters.
Your adventure day continues with a trip to James Bond Island – Ko Tapu to the locals – and lunch on the floating village of Ko Panyi, passing lush mangrove forests on the way over. Last but by no means least, is Ko Khai. Relax on the white sands before venturing into the water to snorkel around the vibrant coral reefs.
