General description
This day trip from Phuket to Phang Nga Bay combines several very different kinds of experience: temples, ATVs, a waterfall, panoramic views, a traditional boat ride, James Bond Island, the sunset and glowing plankton. In one day the route changes its mood several times — from an active adventure in the jungle to a calm evening on the water.
During the excursion you get:
The White Temple
1 hour of ATV riding
A tropical waterfall
Samet Nangshe viewpoint
Lunch with a panoramic view of Phang Nga Bay
Ride on a traditional longtail boat
James Bond Island
The sparkling cave
Hong Island
Swimming and relaxing by the sea
Watching the sunset
Night canoeing
Glowing plankton

The first part of the program is on land. You visit the White Temple, then set off on an hour-long ATV ride through the jungle and palm and rubber plantations. The route crosses hills and scenic stretches, with a stop at a tropical waterfall. After the active part the group heads to the Samet Nangshe viewpoint, one of the best-known panoramic spots in Phang Nga. Lunch is served here with a view of the bay's limestone islands and cliffs.
In the afternoon the sea part of the tour begins. On a traditional longtail boat you cross Phang Nga Bay, see mangroves, unusual rock formations and caves, and then visit the famous James Bond Island. The route continues to Hong Island, where you can rest, swim and watch the sunset by the sea.
After dark comes the most unusual part of the program — an evening canoe trip in search of bioluminescent plankton. When the water moves, bluish flashes of light can appear around the paddle and your hands. How bright the glow is depends on the natural conditions of the night, so it cannot be equally bright every evening, but this is what makes the tour so atmospheric.
This route suits those who want more than a trip to the islands: a full day with different impressions — a little adrenaline on the ATVs, Samet Nangshe, James Bond Island, the sunset and an unusual night adventure on the water to finish.

What people say about our excursions
We will make your day in Phuket worthy of a magazine cover
Fill in the form on the excursion page — your name, phone or messenger, the date and the number of people. A manager contacts you, confirms the places and sends the pick-up details. If you prefer to chat, message us on WhatsApp or Telegram: we will take the booking right in the chat.
When do you confirm a booking?
During working hours — within 15 minutes; a request sent at night is confirmed in the morning. The manager writes to the messenger you gave in the form with the pick-up time and the meeting point. Until you have the confirmation, the booking is not final.
Do I need to pay in advance?
No. We hold the places on request and take payment on the day of the excursion — in cash in baht or by transfer. For some programs with limited places (the Similans in high season, a whole-yacht charter) the operator asks for a deposit to confirm the booking; the manager will tell you before you agree to the date.
How far ahead should I book?
From November to March the popular trips sell out 2–3 days ahead, the Similans a week ahead. The rest of the year booking by 18:00 the day before is usually enough. If there are places left, we will take a booking even on the morning of the trip — for group sea programs this works more often than you would think.
Can I cancel or reschedule a booking?
Yes. Cancelling by 18:00 the day before is free, and so is moving to another date if it has places. A later cancellation follows the terms of the specific program: two-day trips and yacht charters have stricter terms than a group sea excursion. All the deadlines are on the “Refund policy” page.
What currency and how do I pay?
The main currency is the Thai baht, in cash or by transfer. By arrangement we accept a transfer in roubles at the rate on the day of payment. The manager sends a receipt or a voucher listing the services to the chat; there are no extra payments to the guide on the spot.
How much do excursions in Phuket cost?
A group sea excursion to the islands costs roughly 1,500 to 3,000 ฿ per person, sightseeing tours of the island are cheaper, and two-day programs with an overnight stay go up to 7,500 ฿. A private trip and a boat rental are priced for the whole group. All catalogue prices, with the child rate, are in the price list.
What is included in the price?
Transfer from the hotel and back, a Russian-speaking guide, insurance, water, lunch as per the program and national park fees where the route requires them. The exact list is in the “What’s included” block on the excursion page, together with what is paid separately.
Are there extra charges on the spot?
The price on the site is final. Only personal expenses are paid separately: souvenirs, drinks outside the program, diving gear rental, photos from the boat photographer. If a national park fee is not included, the program description says so before you book — you do not hear it for the first time at the pier.
Is it cheaper than the hotel or beach tour desk?
Yes, usually by 20–40%. We sell at the tour operator’s prices, without the hotel’s or a street agent’s mark-up. It is easy to check: ask the reception for the price of the same program with the same operator and compare it with the price list.
How much is an excursion for a child?
The child rate applies to children aged 4–11 and is usually 20–30% below the adult price. Children under 4 travel free, without a seat of their own. The exact child price is on the page of each program and in the price list.
Is there a discount for a group?
From 8 people we price separately: it is often cheaper to take a whole boat or minivan than seats in a group. Send the manager your group size and dates — we will send prices for both options so you can compare.
