Wat Suwan Khuha

Our first stop of the day is Wat Suwan Khuha, also known as the Monkey Cave because of the rambunctious primates inhabiting the temple complex. We’ll descend into the cave temple and look at the statues and carvings before we make our way to the pier. From there we’ll board a longtail boat and head to our second stop, Panyee Island.

Panyee Island

Also known as the Floating Village, Panyee Island is a village built on stilts by the fishermen in the area. We’ll explore the village, taking in the everyday details of the locals, before having lunch at a local restaurant in the village. After stuffing our bellies with delicious local fare, we’ll board our boat and make our way to Talu Cave.

Talu Cave

We’ll have some time to canoe and explore the cave area before heading to the day’s main attraction, James Bond Island.

James Bond Island

Your guide will bring you to a stop at the perfect viewpoint to see the breathtaking rock formation. Standing at roughly 20 meters tall, the solitary cliff surrounded by turquoise waters and nearby cliffs, makes a picturesque momento to remember the day’s adventure by.
