Phang Nga Bay and James Bond Island Sea Canoe Cruise from Phuket

Begin your day at Ao Po Pier (Ao Po Grand Marina), the departure point for your Phang Nga Bay cruise. Meet our staff at the designated check-in area, show your booking confirmation (mobile accepted), and receive boarding instructions before the safety briefing. Please keep your phone reachable for operational updates. This is the best time to use restrooms, organize a small day bag, and secure valuables before departure. If your hotel is in an outer pickup zone, additional transfer fees may apply and are payable in cash to the driver on pickup day (our team will confirm after booking). Arrive early—departure timing is fixed and late arrivals may miss the cruise.

Cruise into Phang Nga Bay and stop at Ko Panak, known for limestone caves and hidden lagoons. You’ll transfer to a canoe with an experienced paddler and glide through mangrove-lined channels and cave openings into a calm “hong” (lagoon). Expect dramatic rock formations and shaded passages—great for photos. For safety, remain seated, keep hands inside the canoe, and follow the paddler’s instructions as some cave sections can be low. This stop runs on a fixed timetable aligned to tidal conditions, so the exact cave route may vary on the day. Bring sun protection and a waterproof pouch for phones/cameras.

Pass through the heart of Phang Nga Bay, a protected seascape famous for emerald water, towering limestone karsts, and mangrove-fringed channels. After your Ko Panak canoe stop, relax on the boat, as the crew cruises between dramatic cliffs, small islets, and quiet coves—ideal for wide-angle photos from the deck without needing to disembark. You’ll spot signature rock shapes, fishing boats, and occasional wildlife along the shoreline while the guide/crew shares brief orientation about the day’s next stops. Seating is first-come, so keep cameras and essentials in a small day bag and secure phones in a waterproof pouch. This pass-by section follows the fixed day-trip timetable; routes may shift slightly with weather and tide to keep the ride smooth and on schedule. Enjoy the open-air views and sea breezes, reapply sunscreen, hydrate, and listen for crew announcements about the next stop. Please stay within passenger areas while underway and follow crew instructions on deck for comfort!

Visit the famous James Bond Island area—Khao Phing Kan, with views of the iconic limestone pillar (Ko Tapu) rising from emerald water. Walk along the easy shoreline paths, enjoy viewpoints, and capture classic photos of the bay’s karst scenery. You’ll have free time to explore, browse small local stalls, and take photos from the main viewpoint. This stop follows a fixed cruise schedule, so please return to the meeting point on time when the crew announces boarding. Wear comfortable footwear and take care on uneven surfaces near the rocks.

Explore Koh Hong, one of Phang Nga Bay’s most scenic canoeing areas. Transfer from the main boat into a canoe with a paddler and drift through narrow passages into a tranquil lagoon framed by limestone cliffs and mangroves. The calm water and dramatic karsts make this a standout photo stop. If conditions allow, there may be time for a short swim near the boat under crew supervision (weather and sea conditions permitting). This stop runs on a fixed timetable, and the exact route may be adjusted for wind, tide, or safety. Bring swimwear, towel, reef-safe sunscreen, and a waterproof pouch.
