ITINERARY
Day 1
Upon landing at Phuket International Airport, you will be greeted by your private guide and taken directly to the breathtaking Samet Nangshe Viewpoint in Phang Nga. From here, you'll witness a truly spectacular sunset painting the sky over the dramatic limestone karsts of Phang Nga Bay, offering incredible photographic opportunities. Afterward, your guide will have a table pre-booked at a highly-rated local restaurant for your dinner (at your own expense), allowing you to savor authentic Thai cuisine with potential bay views before checking into your boutique hotel in the Samet Nangshe area for the night.
Day 2
After breakfast at your hotel, you'll be picked up for a short transfer to the Longtail Boat Pier. Your private longtail journey will begin by navigating through the dense green mangrove jungle, a vital ecosystem where you can spot monitor lizards, macaques, and diverse bird species. You'll then approach the world-famous James Bond Island (Koh Tapu), marveling at its iconic needle-shaped islet and taking time for photos at this cinematic landmark. The adventure continues with a serene sea cave canoeing experience, where an experienced local paddle guide will navigate you through ancient sea caves and around incredible limestone formations. Afterward, you'll arrive at the unique Panyee Island, a fascinating fishing village built entirely on stilts over the water, where you'll enjoy a delicious authentic Thai seafood lunch prepared by the hospitable sea nomads. You'll have time to explore the village's daily life and browse for unique souvenirs before returning by longtail boat to the mainland and visiting a serene local temple (like the Monkey Temple) before heading back to your hotel.

Today, you'll be transferred to the ethical Phang Nga Elephant Park for an intimate elephant encounter.

A delicious Thai lunch, featuring fresh local ingredients, is included at the camp.
