Cancellation policy

These tickets can't be cancelled or rescheduled.

Start your day-long hopping trip with the first stop at Wat Suwan Khuha (Monkey Cave). Be mindful of the monkeys! The cave's dim illumination and the sparse natural light produce an ethereal, otherworldly feel. See the statues and carvings before making your way to the Surakul Pier to board your long-tail boat to Panyee Island, also called the floating village. Enjoy a hearty Thai lunch on the island as you learn about the local culture and experience this unique village made on stilts and floating on water. Continue your island hopping with Talu Cave, where you can canoe and swim in the beautiful blue water. Discover the caves with their incredible stalactites and stalagmites.

Next, head to James Bond Island, the highlight of the tour. The 1974 James Bond movie, "The Man with the Golden Gun," made these limestone karsts world-famous. See the cliff up close from the perfect viewpoint to see the stunning 20-meter rock formation, a solitary cliff surrounded by blue waters and cliffs. The island has an incredible view of the iconic limestone cliff, located right in the center of the blue-green water.
