Suggested Phang Nga Bay Tour Itinerary
Morning: Scenic Drive & Long-Tail Boat Boarding to Hong Island
our day begins with a prompt pick-up from your cruise ship at Phuket Port as part of your phuket shore excursions, followed by a scenic drive to the pier. From there, you will board a traditional long-tail boat and head straight into the magnificent scenery of Phang Nga Bay. Your first stop is Hong Island, where you will transfer to a local canoe to explore the island’s stunning hidden caves and serene natural lagoons.
Mid-Day: James Bond Island, Khao Phing Kan & Tam Lod
Next, you will visit the renowned James Bond Island (Khao Tapu), famous for its iconic vertical limestone rock majestically standing in the emerald sea. Explore nearby Khao Phing Kan, where two large rocks naturally lean against each other. Afterward, you’ll proceed to Tam Lod for another memorable canoeing adventure, gliding smoothly through sea caves and enjoying the peaceful surroundings.
Lunch at Panyee Village (Gypsy Village)
The journey continues to Panyee Village, also known as the floating Gypsy Village built entirely on stilts over the water. Here, you will enjoy an authentic local lunch. After lunch, you’ll have free time to sightsee, shop for handmade souvenirs, and explore the unique lifestyle of this resilient local community.
