How the day unfolds.

Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.

01 Stop

Pick up from your hotel in Khao Lak area and Transfer you to the pier

Once there, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a light brunch and a cup of coffee or tea, followed by a safety and tour briefing at our private pier before departure.

02 Stop

After a welcome on board, a picturesque cruise through the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay, a Ramsar-listed nature reserve, begins.

03 Stop

Relaxation on Koh Nok

The view of the endless beach cape (Laem Had) of Koh Yao Yai will remain in your memory forever before you land not far from it on the small Robinson island of Koh Nok. Enjoy a coffee or tea on site, stroll along the soft sandy beach and let the peaceful beauty sink in.

04 Stop

Water sports adventure on Koh Kudu

Enjoy a refreshing swim, paddle at your own pace on a stand-up paddleboard or glide in a transparent kayak over the sparkling water in front of and between the bizarre limestone formations of Koh Kudu. Together with the small, hidden beach behind it, the scenery fulfils all the criteria for a picture-postcard view of southern Thailand.

smooth drive and pick up. But

smooth drive and pick up. But we have always been given a bottle of water on all our previous transfers, so it was a bit surprising that this was not the case. When I asked about it the driver and his wife(?) gave us 2 bottles(lukewarm)) which I think was their own, so that was nice. But I do believe that cold water bottles for every passenger more or less is customary.
