Full description

Explore some of Thailand's most iconic and stunning islands on a longtail boat cruise from Khao Lak. Cruise over turquoise waters, past lush mangroves, and see the famous James Bond Island up close. Feel the salty breeze in your hair and relax under the warm tropical sun en route.

After a pickup from your hotel in Khao Lak, board a traditional longtail boat and experience the mangrove forests and karst formations from a different perspective. Get up close to the limestone rocks on a short canoe trip before heading to Khao Phing Kan.

Marvel at rock formations such as Tapu Island and James Bond Island, used as a film location in the movie "The Man With the Golden Gun." Continue to the floating Muslim village of Koh Panyi, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch.

Next, go to Suwan Khuha Cave Temple to see the statue of the reclining Golden Buddha. Get some time to feed the resident monkeys before the return trip to Khao Lak.

Ron our guide was amazing, extremely funny and knowledgeable about the area. We arrived at James Bond island before the main crowds so we're able to take some lovely photos and enjoy the views. Ron was able to share great knowledge when we were in the temple and talked us through the different Budda poses and what they signify. To top the day off we were able to feed the monkeys which were at the temple which was just truly magical.

Great day at the sea with a long tail boat. The island is really nothing else than turist attraction, but it is beautiful place. Also the floating village is okay, but full of turists. We booked a private trip with a guide. I would call him a driver with a really bad english, nothing else. We also had a day in the elephant care center with a different guide, that is more value to your money. We loved it!

Brilliant trip from start to finish. Easy to book and communication was excellent letting me know what time pick up was. Mr Run who was our guide was absolutely impeccable and a fun knowledgeable guy. Lunch was amazing, probably the best lunch we've had in Thailand so far.
