About the experience

Experience the marine nature of Phang Nga Bay on an acclaimed sea kayaking adventure departing from Phuket's Ao Po Pier. Board a twin-engine escort boat for a relaxed Thai lunch and briefing as you cruise towards the limestone karsts of Koh Hong and Koh Panak. At each island, step into sea kayaks alongside an experienced personal paddle guide who navigates through concealed sea caves into secluded internal lagoons ('hongs'). Later in the afternoon, enjoy free paddling time, swimming, and making your own natural flower float (krathong) before sunset. As twilight descends, savour a Thai buffet dinner against the backdrop of the bay's sunset. Once darkness falls, re-enter your kayak to release your krathong and marvel at glowing bioluminescent plankton in the water before cruising back to the pier.
