About This Tour

There is one view that fills photography feeds worldwide: Samet Nangshe, where the whole of Phang Nga Bay spreads out below you — karst after karst fading into the haze. Most people only ever see it from the platform. This day gives you both sides: the bay from above, and then the bay itself.

Your private speedboat heads into the limestone maze first — the Ice Cream Cave and mangrove caves of Panak Island — before a shuttle carries you up to the Samet Nangshe panorama for the photo. Back on the water, the day rolls on at your pace: the needle rock of James Bond Island, lunch at the Koh Panyee stilt village, canoeing through the caves of Hong Island, and a final swim at quiet Naka Noi.

Built for photographers and for travelers who want Phang Nga Bay done completely — above and below — in one private day no group tour offers.

Departure Point: Boat Lagoon Pier (Ko Kaeo, Phuket) — private minibus collects you from any Phuket hotel, villa or residence
Group Size: Up to 10 guests (11–20 on request)
Boat: 39-ft VIP speedboat
