The Island Sapiens
4 Days 3 Nights Holiday on the island.

The Island Sapiens 4-Day, 3-Night Holiday takes you deep into the heart of the Koh Yao archipelago, where Koh Yao Noi and Koh Yao Yai serve as the core of a cluster of 43 islands that together form the expansive Koh Yao District. This package is crafted to enrich your experience by introducing you to these two distinct islands, stimulating both the analytical and creative sides of your mind, thanks to activities designed to activate the corpus callosum, the bridge between the brain’s left and right hemispheres.

On Koh Yao Noi, you’ll find a flourishing island with a more developed business culture, contrasting with the rustic charm of Koh Yao Yai, which retains its natural, rural character. This duality offers a rare chance to witness two different lifestyles within the same archipelago: one modern, one more traditional.

JC Tour Koh Yao invites you to explore every beautiful corner of these islands, along with nearby attractions like the iconic James Bond Island in Phang Nga Bay, the enchanting Hong Islands in Krabi, and the picturesque Khai Islands of Phang Nga. With added activities like kayaking and snorkeling, this tour offers a comprehensive experience for those with limited time yet a thirst for new destinations and creative engagement for both the left and right brain. This journey is ideal for those who value unique experiences that enhance a lifetime’s worth of memories.

With JC Tour’s Upper Class service, renowned for excellence at every step, this package is a perfect choice for those who seek something truly special, whether for a cherished senior, a beloved family member, or a milestone occasion. Before booking, we recommend taking a moment to delve into the program’s details, browse photos, and fully appreciate the exceptional experiences this holiday offers.

Scene Mechanic Movie

Laem Haad, with its pristine white sandbar that stretches from the tip of Koh Yao Yai towards Koh Yao Noi, is a natural marvel and a true signature of Koh Yao Yai. This sand cape is where the shallow waters meet, creating a striking divide in the sea, which has left a lasting impression on many visitors, including the likes of Jason Statham. Beyond the sandbar, Laem Haad transitions into a scenic coconut grove and grasslands, offering a lush, shaded setting that beautifully complements the surrounding natural landscape.

This unique spot, bordered by beaches on both sides, allows visitors to stroll back and forth across the sands, surrounded by clear waters, soft sands, and pure, refreshing air. Here, you can enjoy swimming, wading in the shallow waters, setting up a hammock, or gathering with friends to enjoy the peaceful yet lively environment. Laem Haad captures a rare essence of happiness and tranquility, an unparalleled experience that’s truly unique to this location and hard to find elsewhere.

Island Sapiens

This experience invites you to immerse yourself in the daily life of Koh Yao locals. Witness traditional stilt houses designed to catch natural breezes, try your hand at batik making, and learn to craft ba-bin (a traditional coconut dessert). You can also test your fishing skills catching sand whiting, visit lobster and marine fish farms, and observe the process of drying and steaming fish on boats before they’re sold. Discover the “crab bank” and the fresh seafood cooperative, where sustainability is key to the community’s way of life.

Travel around the island on a local songthaew truck, exploring pristine coastal areas and rural landscapes untouched by modern developments. Along the way, you’ll be welcomed by warm locals, and as you take in the unspoiled beauty, you may just hear a little “wow” resonating from deep within if you pause and listen carefully.

Koh Nang Yuan.

This remarkable Sky Walk, the tallest in Thailand with six different viewing levels, offers an unparalleled experience around Krabi's stunning Hong Island, accessible via Koh Yao. Each level, with its own station, provides a distinct view of the island’s landscapes, creating a journey that unveils new angles and scenery as you ascend. From lush greenery to panoramic sea views, every step on this walkway feels like stepping into a new scene, capturing the essence of Hong Island’s beauty in diverse perspectives.

Unlike typical Sky Walks, this one offers more than just a view; it brings a sense of wonder with each level, as if each station were a part of an enchanting optical illusion. The blend of natural beauty with the elevated walkways creates a truly unique experience that’s engaging, scenic, and layered with surprises. This Sky Walk is sure to amaze even seasoned travelers with its multi-dimensional charm, giving them a fresh look at Thailand's incredible landscapes.

Hong Island

Koh Hong has long been renowned as one of the most breathtaking islands in Thailand. At one point, the JC Tour Product team even proposed it as an alternative filming location for The Beach to be used alongside Maya Bay. Though Maya Bay ultimately won the role, Koh Hong was highly regarded for its stunning beauty, often considered even more enchanting. However, its secluded nature and the limitation on large boats entering the area kept it hidden like a secret treasure. With its pristine landscapes and mystical charm, Koh Hong is like a princess lost in the forest, exuding a rare beauty that feels almost as if crafted by magic.

Hong Lagoon Lake - Amidst Nature

The formation of lagoon lakes, like Hong Lagoon Lake and Pileh Lake on Koh Phi Phi Leh, showcases similar natural characteristics, with both surrounded by magnificent limestone cliffs that create a peaceful, secluded space. These rock walls provide a natural barrier, keeping the waters calm and enhancing the sense of privacy within each lagoon. However, Hong Lagoon Lake has a unique touch: it is partially lined with a lush mangrove forest, covering about a quarter of the lake’s perimeter.

This natural mangrove border adds another layer of beauty and further protects the lagoon from large ocean waves, ensuring the water remains calm, clear, and inviting. The tranquil environment makes it an ideal spot for swimming, with pristine waters and fresh air that reinvigorate the senses. The charm of this hidden gem leaves visitors feeling that they could stay indefinitely, with boredom nowhere in sight—a place of pure tranquility where time feels beautifully suspended.

Phak Bia Island

Koh Phak Bia, with its striking sand cape extending from the main island, is a natural treasure abundant with lush, protected forest that meets the crystal-clear sea, forming beautiful beaches on both sides. One of its unique features is "Hin Rom," a remarkable stone formation in the middle of the sea that sparks the imagination, making one ponder just how many ages it has withstood the elements. At the island’s base, the underwater world awaits, where snorkeling reveals a colorful array of fish species that gracefully swim close by, creating an enchanting marine display.

This is one destination you won’t want to miss in this package—a place where nature’s artistry and vibrant marine life come together to offer an unforgettable experience.

Lao Lading - Sea meets the cave.

At Koh Lao Lading, a small bay with pristine, powder-like sand, the crystal-clear water sparkles with clarity, resembling pure spring water, allowing you to easily see fish swimming along the shore. Behind the beach, a limestone cave meets a dense forest, part of a national park reserve, giving the bay a hidden, untouched feel. It’s as if this little cove is tucked away, almost unwilling to reveal itself to just anyone. Reaching it requires some effort, but the moment you step onto its sands, you understand the worth of this hidden “gem.” Even the most deeply buried diamond is worth the journey to discover.

Set Scene กองถ่าย James Bond 007

The filmmakers of James Bond 007 chose this island as a key set location for good reason: it offered an incredible variety of scenes and settings within a single space, each evoking a sense of awe, intrigue, and fascination. The beach here is unique, with sand-like, finely crushed shells that look like sand but aren’t quite the same. Towering above, two split mountains lean against each other as if sawed apart by a giant blade, creating a dramatic, almost surreal landscape. Inside, a network of complex caves hides multiple chambers, each interconnected and mysterious.

Just off the coast lies the famous Koh Tapu, a towering rock formation shaped like a giant nail, an iconic sight that sparks the imagination. And not far from there is a floating village, where visitors can't help but wonder, "What kind of life do they lead here?" This island is more than a location; it's an invitation to a world of mystery and wonder, drawing anyone who visits into its enchanting story.

Koh Hong - Kayak

Koh Hong, known here for its vast limestone cave halls, is a must-see point for any tour of Phang Nga Bay. Its stunning surroundings alone are mesmerizing, but the island holds even more wonders. Within this large mountain that seems to float on the water, there are intricate sea caves and limestone chambers, arranged like rooms in a hidden labyrinth. This evokes a sense of Columbus-like adventure, making you feel like a true explorer.

On this trip, you’ll board a kayak to navigate through the mountain's interior, accessible only by water. As you paddle deeper into the caverns, each turn reveals a new mystery. What will we uncover inside? This journey promises an unforgettable sense of discovery at every corner.

Khai Island Archipelago

The three islands in this archipelago, designated as some of the most stunning marine destinations, consist of three small islands: Koh Khai Nok, Koh Khai Nai, and Koh Khai Nui. Each island begins with the name "Khai," symbolizing its connection to the group.

• Khai Nui, the smallest island, has no sandy beaches but is surrounded by crystal-clear waters resembling glass. Its underwater landscape is rich with coral reefs, making it an exceptional snorkeling spot. JC Tour’s exploration team discovered a special dive site here, where you can encounter blacktip reef sharks, vibrant clownfish, and both soft and hard corals.
• Khai Nok, the largest of the three, is still small enough to walk around on foot. This island is encircled by white sandy beaches, providing easy access for snorkeling at any point along the shore. Just a meter off the beach, you’ll find thousands of colorful fish waiting to greet you, making every dip an aquatic adventure.
• Khai Nai, the medium-sized island, has sandy beaches all around, with a unique area where the sea separates sections of rock, creating interesting formations. This island is a haven for fish and coral, with its beach scenery as captivating as the underwater world. Each of these islands offers a distinct experience, yet all share the same stunning beauty that defines the Khai archipelago.
