Departing from Khao Lak, this tour sees you speed off into Phang Nga Bay to one of its many highlights – James Bond Island. Sprinkled with Hollywood glamour, it's one of Thailand's top attractions. On this early bird speedboat trip, you'll also canoe through mangrove forests and have lunch in Ko Panyi.

Starting early, you'll get to see the incredible limestone karsts in mesmerizing morning light. You'll travel by speedboat though the emerald-green sea to one island that everyone wants to see – James Bond Island, or Khao Phing Kan as it's known locally.

Then it's time to ramp up pace with a kayaking experience, where you'll explore a fascinating network of mangrove forests at Tum Lod. Lunch comes courtesy of the locals at Ko Panyi – ‘The Floating Village' – a place built entirely on stilts. We round off with a chance to grab some snaps at the viewpoint of Samet Nangshe.

The early bird tour was perfect. Saw everything before the crowds, our guides and boat staff were funny, friendly and knowledgable. All in all it was the perfect trip.

Trip was fantastic caving James Bond island the canoeing lunch all perfect what spoiled it was the grubby beach it was rubbish and the con of every seat 50 bhat

No safety briefs given. Ie life jackets, or incase it emergency. BUT the trip was well organised, packed a lot in the day. Food at buffet was excellent! A great day!

Beautiful scenery, lots of great activities and knowledgeable, friendly guides. Breakfast is also included on this trip which we didn’t know. A brilliant day out!

There was more to the tour than I expected . Caves and the fact that we were at each place before the crowds. Made the trip and places feel like they were all exclusive. Also the sea was so calm not sure if this is always the case but for anyone who gets sea sick this was not the case on this tour .for the not to like well nothing really but if I had to choose the last stop the beach for a hour . Not needed as there was so much to see in the Thailand island landscapes . Well worth it !!!!!
