Looking from the far, this rock looks like a giant nail, nailing deep into the seawater. This Tapu island is the very famous tourist spot in Phang Nga.

A very good experience - A very good experience to participate in the big longtail boat trip in the morning, the shuttle is also very punctual, the whole process of communication in English, the weather is very good, the place can be reached, there are basically no more due to the weather, the itinerary, the rowing trip is also worthy of the scenery, the boatman is also very good. I am very responsible to help me take pictures and introduce the scenery. Some places have less time to stay. About one hour. Lunch is self-service. It is acceptable to finally go to the beach and return to the hotel on time.

I really enjoyed - I really enjoyed the feeling of sitting on a big boat and blowing the cool breeze and watching the distance! I am very excited and pleasantly surprised to be able to cross the canoe through one natural hole, and the experience of barefoot wading through the cave to another small world to observe the ecology is also memorable. I like all the arrangements of this trip, if there is a chance. I want to review the experience again. The tour guide and the staff are very warm and friendly, thank you

I don’t enjoy this excursion at all!!!!! - It was a waste of time and money! We didn’t arrive at our boat until almost 11:00. It was supposed to start at 9:30. Then the boat broke down on the way to the island and we had to slowly float back to the dock. We had to wait for a replacement boat to come and get us By the time we arrived to the island we only had 30 minutes total to enjoy it! Not enough time at all! Lunch was disappointing as well. We sat at tables for 8 people and we were served 1 plate of vegetables, egg omelet, noodles and egg . And 1 bowl of soup to share. But a lot of white rice . We asked for more vegetables and were refused, only 1 plate per table!!!
