Samet Nangshe Viewpoint and James Bond Island Tour
Samet Nangshe Viewpoint and James Bond Island Tour
Phuket, Thailand, is a treasure trove of natural wonders, from its pristine beaches to its emerald-green waters. It’s also a haven for luxury hotels and resorts, but if you want to party then the nightlife in Patong gives you everything you need and more.
Phuket is stunning; however, the surround island and provinces also offer some truly remarkable experiences and one of this is the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint in Phang Nga Bay. You can drive there from Phuket and it takes around 2 hours, or you can book a private speed boat from 5 Star Marine Phuket that can get you there in around 40 mins, and then you also get to explore the amazing Phang Nga Bay.
Into the Heart of Phang Nga Bay
Your journey will start early, but that’s a good thing as the best time to visit the Samet Nangshe Viewpoint is first thing in the morning. We will pick you up from where you are staying on Phuket and bring you to Phuket Boat lagoon before boarding one of our luxurious private speed boats.
And then off you go into the shimmering waters of Phang Nga Bay, a UNESCO World Heritage Site renowned for its stunning scenery and rich biodiversity.
Samet Nangshe Viewpoint: A Spectacular Vista
The famed Samet Nangshe Viewpoint, perched high above Phang Nga bay and offers sweeping vistas of the dramatic limestone cliffs and emerald waters. When you reach the top, and don’t worry there is a truck to take you there, the view will take your breath away—it like something out of a postcard, for those old enough to remember postcards.
Once you have taking a few stunning pictures of the amazing views, also taken a few selfies at the many Instagram spots they have set up, its time to head back to the boat to continue your journey and explore the rest of Phang Nga Bay.
James Bond Island:
The iconic James Bond Island, immortalized in the classic Bond film “The Man with the Golden Gun.” Marvel at the dramatic limestone cliffs that jut out of the emerald-green waters, creating a scene straight out of a postcard (Again for those of you who remember postcards).
Take your time to explore the island’s hidden nooks and crannies, and don’t forget to capture that perfect Instagram-worthy shot.
Bat Cave and Hidden Lagoons:
Venture into the mystical Bat Cave and explore hidden lagoons and caves that dot the landscape of Phang Nga Bay. Glide through narrow passageways and marvel at the intricate formations of stalactites and stalagmites that adorn the cavern walls. Listen to the soothing sounds of nature echoing off the limestone cliffs as you immerse yourself in the tranquility of these secluded sanctuaries.
Wow I made that sound rather awesome, which it is. However one top tip, if you do visit Bat Cave don’t look up with your mouth open..
Canoeing at Hong Island:
Paddle through emerald waters, weaving in and out of towering limestone karsts and discovering hidden coves and mangrove forests along the way. Let the natural beauty of Hong Island captivate your senses as you navigate its pristine waterways. Well I say paddle through, I mean that we will have guides to paddle for you, so all you need to do is sit back and take in the beauty.
Koh Panyee Floating Village:
A private speed boat tour of Phang Nga Bay wouldn’t be complete without a visit to the enchanting Koh Panyee Floating Village. Home to a vibrant community of fishermen and their families, this unique settlement is built entirely on stilts above the water. Wander through the narrow alleyways, sample fresh seafood delicacies, and immerse yourself in the rich culture and traditions of this fascinating village.
Plus you can have a kickabout on the floating football pitch.
Naka Island Beach Stop:
As the day draws to a close, how about a final stop at the idyllic Naka Island, where powdery white sands and crystal-clear waters beckon weary travelers to unwind and relax. Take a leisurely stroll along the shoreline, dip your toes in the refreshing sea, or simply bask in the warm glow of the tropical sun.
This tranquil paradise provides the perfect setting to reflect on the day’s adventures and savor the moments of bliss. Not sure I mentioned that you can also have a cheeky cocktail or 2.
A private speed boat charter to Samet Nangshe Viewpoint & James Bond Island is not just a journey; it’s an unforgettable odyssey through some of Thailand’s most spectacular landscapes. From the iconic James Bond Island to hidden lagoons, caves, and floating villages, and the stunning views from Samet Nangshe, every moment is filled with wonder and discovery.
