Sailing to ‘The Beach’

The dramatic high-rising limestone cliffs provide a stunning start to your charter holiday before you pass James Bond Island and Koh Panyee. James Bond Island, famous for it’s appearance in ‘The Man with the Golden Gun’, is a must see destination for all film buffs, Bond fans and budding secret agents. We suggest that you visit at the start or end of the day in high season as many speedboats from Phuket or the mainland will bring tourists here in the middle of the day.

Ao Nang is Krabi’s vibrant tourist centre. It has the relaxed atmosphere of a small town, the beauty of a beach resort, the modern comforts of home, and the friendliness that sets Thailand apart.

Escape from the land of the living for another day as you disappear into the enclave of 70 small islands surrounding Koh Lanta. The abundance of pristine white sandy beaches are sure to leave you feeling like you have gone to paradise. With coral displays dotted around the nearby waters, there are relaxing scenes for you to enjoy both above and below the water’s surface.

Idyllic tropical beaches and lagoons surrounded by rock walls have made the Phi Phi Islands famous all over the world. This was also the location for ‘The Beach’, starring Leonardo Di Caprio, making it an incredibly popular destination. There is an abundance of snorkelling and diving opportunities around the islands, many of which are uninhabited and peaceful.

The waters in this area are crystal clear making the Racha Islands another perfect location to do some diving or snorkelling. If you fancy a go at fishing there are some fishing hotspots in these islands for you to make the perfect catch for a fresh supper on your last evening in these beautiful waters.

Phuket, there are numerous small islands off the east coast that can be explored on your final day of the expedition. Here you can enjoy some last-minute snorkelling at Coral Island to spot that one bit of marine life you haven’t checked off your list yet, or even feed the fishes from the beach at Khai Nok.
