Frequently Asked Questions

Why choose a long tail boat over a speedboat for James Bond?
Long tails are traditional wooden boats that move more slowly, making them feel closer to the water and the limestone cliffs. They're also quieter, so the caves and floating village feel less rushed.
What's the Monkey Cave temple?
Suwan Kuha Buddhist Temple, housed inside a large cave with resident monkeys. It's the first stop on the 9-10 hour route.
Is the national park fee included?
No, the fee isn't covered. Water sports and personal expenses are also extra.
What's lunch like?
Lunch is included and served at the floating village of Koh Panyi, where you eat over the water looking at the stilted houses.
