About this tour

Hong Island is a fascinating, unique and undiscovered natural sight in Phang nga bay. It is a highlight for every adventurer and nature lover. Come with us to one of the most beautiful islands in Thailand and enjoy this amazing and extraordinary place.

Hong Island is like a dream come true for adventurers and nature lovers. It is one of Thailand’s most beautiful islands, but still an insider’s tip. Good for us, as there are only a few visitors.

Its name is based on eroded caves, which lie in the centre of the island. Well hidden, it shelters a lake with small sea access. The only way inside can be passed during a short time slot (of about 1 h) and only once a day.

When the tides allow to, one can enter inside the Hong Island by canoe.

Otherwise, if there is low tide, the caves are dry and sharp-edged stones as well as mud block the entrance. At high tide the access is completely under water.

This little natural wonder makes it even more spectacular.

Besides Hong Island we take you to a cave with bats, another exciting place close to mangrove jungles and limestone carsts. Be one of a few to see the natural beauty deep inside of Phang Nga Bay, as it is a unique experience you definitely should not miss.

With a stop at the beautiful restaurant of the fishing village Koh Panyee you can gain back some power by enjoying delicious local food. Furthermore there will be some time to discover the environment.

To round up a beautiful day of culture we will visit the Phang Nga Park when we arrive back on mainland. In addition to beautiful caves and a temple you can sometimes see wild monkeys there.

Phang Nga Bay is a UNESCO World Heritage and has geologically similar features to Vietnamese Halong Bay. Limestone rocks are evidence of long past coral reefs. And through ebb and flow caves and grottes have been eroded. Nowadays one has access by canoe, finding a world of bizarre limestone karsts, dolines and a vegetation searching for hold along the cliffs. Altogether the national park (1981) includes 42 islands with a total area of about 401km². The water at Phang Nga Bay is just a few meters deep and comparatively calm. Moreover, world-famous Koh Panyee, a 300-year-old fishing village build on stilts, can be found close to a marine needle in the middle of the sea. About 2000 people call it their home. Koh Tapu is the most famous rock, better known as James Bond Rock. It became famous due to the movie “The man with the golden colt” with Roger Moore as 007.
