Hong Island (Koh Hong) – Pileh Lagoon & Limestone Fjords
Koh Hong (Hong Island) is a small, near-pristine island in Phang Nga Bay, celebrated for its dramatic limestone cliffs and the stunning Pileh Lagoon – an emerald-green tidal lagoon enclosed by walls of rock up to 100 metres high. One of the most visually striking natural settings in all of southern Thailand.
Koh Yao Noi – The 490-Step Viewpoint
Koh Yao Noi remains one of the few islands in the region largely untouched by mass tourism. From the famous 490-step viewpoint, you’re rewarded with sweeping panoramic views over Phang Nga Bay’s iconic limestone karsts – a moment that stays with you long after the tour ends.
Laem Haad Beach, Koh Yao Yai – An Unspoilt Tropical Shore
Laem Haad Beach on Koh Yao Yai is one of Thailand’s most pristine stretches of sand: white, wide, and quiet. At low tide, a natural sandbar connects the beach to a small offshore island – a magical sight that makes for incredible photographs and a truly peaceful finale to the day.

Lisa, Mark & 10-year-old Mia, USA –
Perfect for families! Our daughter had the best time swimming and snorkeling—so many fish! The boat was comfortable, and the guides were friendly and very helpful. Koh Yao Noi was stunning, and the short hike to the viewpoint was a great adventure. The lunch was delicious with plenty of options, and Laem Haad Beach was like a dream. We loved every moment of this trip. Highly recommended for families looking for a mix of adventure and relaxation!
Anna & Chris, Australia –
A wonderful escape from Phuket’s crowds! Koh Yao Noi was a hidden gem, and we loved the viewpoint hike. Snorkeling at Lao Lading Island was great, though a bit busy with other boats. The water was crystal clear, and the marine life was amazing! The local lunch was tasty, and Laem Haad Beach was the perfect spot to unwind. The only downside was that we wished for more time at each stop. Overall, a fantastic and well-planned tour!
Sophie & Max, France –
An incredible day in paradise! From the moment we were picked up, everything was smooth and well-organized. Koh Yao Noi was peaceful, and the viewpoint hike was worth every step for the breathtaking view. Swimming in the emerald waters of Hong Island was a dream, and the snorkeling at Lao Lading was fantastic—so many colorful fish! Lunch was delicious, and the final stop at Laem Haad Beach was pure relaxation. Highly recommend this tour for anyone who loves nature and beautiful beaches!
