"Twenty years from now, you will be more disappointed by the things you did not do than by the things you did do. So, throw off the bowlines. Sail away from the safe harbour. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover." - Mark Twain

Overview
Arguably Phuket’s most famous tourist attraction, Phang Nga Bay is a natural wonderland. Here you will find verdant limestone islands honeycombed with caves and hidden inland lagoons that rise majestically out of the azure water to heights of nearly 1000 feet. The best way to explore Phang Nga is by boat and for those with limited time in Phuket, there is no quicker (or exciting) way to get to the islands than by luxury speedboat. Your speedboat trip includes a visit to Khai Nok, a beautiful paradise island surrounded by crystal clear emerald green water - perfect for swimming, snorkelling and simply relaxing. You will see the towering limestone formations of Hong Island and visit James Bond Island – the beautiful island hideout of Scaramanga in the ‘Man with the Golden Gun’. From the comfort of your luxury speedboat, you will also have the chance to explore the grotto caves and navigate the labyrinthine mangrove swamps for which the area is also famous. Lunch is taken at the remarkable Panyi Island Sea Gypsy Village built out over water on stilts. Seasonal fruits and unlimited soft drinks including tea and coffee are served throughout the journey.
