• Phanak Island - Phanak serves as the entrance to Phang Nga Bay’s tide-timed caves and collapsed-roof lagoons, known as “hongs.” Guides paddle visitors through low limestone tunnels into serene jade pools surrounded by vertical karsts and mangroves. Depending on safe tide conditions, you might explore Mangrove Cave, Bat Cave, Hoy Tib, Diamond, or I-Tim (Ice-Cream) Cave. With engines off, the only sounds are dripping water and paddles; it’s a peaceful, family-friendly, and highly photogenic experience. Look out for brahminy kites, mudskippers, and tiny crabs on mangrove roots while guides explain cave etiquette (no touching formations) and local geology. Waterproof phone pouches and reef-safe sunscreen enhance the hands-free experience. Phanak sets the tone for the day—authentic cave canoeing without technical effort, perfect for both newcomers and returning visitors.

• Hong Islands - “Hóng” translates to “room,” and this one resembles a skylit amphitheater accessible via a tide-dependent passage. Glide by canoe beneath cool overhangs into a tranquil lagoon encircled by 100-meter cliffs adorned with ferns and orchids. The water is calm, the pace relaxed, and the canoes stable—ideal for all ages. Guides handle the paddling and position the best angles for photos while you spot fiddler crabs, swiftlets, and delicate stalactites. When water levels permit, you’ll glide under rock ceilings close enough to touch; at higher tides, you’ll see sunbeams stripe the jade surface. Hong complements Panak’s maze with a grander, cathedral-like chamber that photographers adore, offering the iconic “karst walls rising from emerald water” shot that most travelers seek.

• Khao Phing Kan - Visit the island made famous by The Man with the Golden Gun. Short boardwalks and steps lead to viewpoints revealing Phang Nga’s karst panorama and the island’s distinctive “lean,” visible along a fracture plane in the limestone. This is a walk-and-shoot stop: explore small beaches, browse simple stalls, and learn how erosion sculpted the rock textures and pockets visible at eye level. Guides share film trivia and the safest paths to less crowded lookouts, then allow time to frame wide shots and portraits. Stick to marked trails, carry out any litter, and respect cliff-base signage. There’s usually shade for a quick cool-down before heading to the viewpoint for Ko Tapu across the bay—your classic poster angle.

• James Bond Island - Ko Tapu, a slender sea stack rising from turquoise water, is the highlight. Photograph it from designated viewpoints on Khao Phing Kan where the stack is perfectly framed between headlands. Guides assist with the classic composition and explain how faulting and marine erosion shaped the “impossible” pillar. Boats do not land on the stack itself (it’s protected), so the experience focuses on perspective and storytelling—spotting long-tails drifting through your frame, timing shots between wakes, and using a phone’s 2x/3x lens or a polarizer to reduce glare. Take a moment to simply observe the scene: layered karsts, shifting light, and the quiet between passing boats.

• Ko Panyi - Founded by Malay fishers, Panyee is a vibrant stilt village with a gold-domed mosque, floating football pitch, and lanes of family shops. On the Speedboat program, you typically disembark for a halal-friendly seafood lunch—fresh fish, stir-fries, rice, and fruit—then stroll wooden walkways for photos of the towering limestone wall that shelters the village. On the Big Boat route, you usually admire the skyline while enjoying a buffet lunch on board, avoiding crowds yet still soaking up the atmosphere. Either way, it’s a vivid slice of local life: nets drying in the sun, long-tails shuttling supplies, and friendly vendors selling coconuts and simple souvenirs. Dress respectfully near the mosque and keep walkways clear for residents.

• Khao Khian - Glide beneath ochre rock art panels depicting fish, hunters, and marine life painted on a shaded cliff just above the tide line. Your captain idles while the guide points out the clearest figures and explains how pigments have endured centuries of salt spray and monsoon cycles. To protect the site, this is a respectful view-from-boat stop—no landing—so use your phone’s 2x/3x lens or binoculars for crisp details. The visit adds cultural and archaeological context to a day of caves and beaches, showing that these sheltered waters have supported people long before movie fame. Please avoid flash and drones here; guides will advise on the best vantage and timing for glare-free images.

• Naka Island - A gentle, shelved beach with clear, calm water makes Naka the Speedboat program’s classic unwind. Float in turquoise shallows, rent a lounger under casuarina shade, or sip a cold coconut while long-tails drift against a karst skyline. Facilities are casual—beach bars, basic restrooms—and vendors may offer optional activities like jet skis or parasailing (pay on site, not included). Bring reef-safe sunscreen, a towel, and sandals for hot sand; a dry bag keeps phones and keys grit-free. For photos, shoot toward the open bay to layer boats and limestone silhouettes. It’s the reset your shoulders and camera roll need after caves and crowds: simple, scenic, and blissfully unhurried.

• Koh Khai Nok - This petite crescent of sugar-soft sand and aquarium-clear shallows is the Big Boat program’s beach finale. Wade straight from shore to spot friendly reef fish over sandy pockets and scattered rock—ideal for casual snorkeling and families. Between dips, stroll the curve of beach, browse simple stalls, or settle into shade to watch the water flash silver under afternoon sun. Life jackets are available; follow crew guidance on flagged areas and currents. Pack a mask if you have one (rinse with seawater for fog-free views) and a lightweight cover-up for the ride back. Koh Khai offers that “postcard Phuket” moment—easy water, easy access, and just enough time to linger without rushing.
