Boat Excursions

Peppered with numerous limestone islands, sea caves and isolated beaches, the expansive seascapes to the east of Phuket boast a sublime backdrop for one-day boat excursions. From Chalong Pier, a boat ride towards the northeast reveals dramatic islandscapes of Phang Nga Bay, famous for its emerald green waters, towering limestone cliffs and rocky pinnacles carpeted in lush-green outcrop, including the world-famous James Bond Island. A 45-minute boat ride to the east of Phuket, the crystalline waters open out to reveal an expansive horizon, sculpted into dramatic formations and picturesque archipelagos of Phi Phi, whereas to the south, the expansive beachfronts of Racha Islands are ideal for an afternoon picnic.
