Overview

Experience Phang Nga Bay from a different perspective as you explore its dramatic tidal sea caves and hidden Hongs by kayak. Starting in the afternoon helps you avoid the busiest crowds while enjoying the bay’s spectacular limestone landscapes and surrounding wildlife.

A professional guide paddles you through the caves and into secluded lagoons using specially designed custom-made kayaks. Along the way, you may spot macaques, monitor lizards, kingfishers, egrets, sea eagles, and Brahminy kites in their natural surroundings.

As evening falls, create your own traditional Kratong and float it on the water after dark for a memorable natural-light experience. The adventure also includes meals served on board, making it a convenient and immersive way to experience Phang Nga Bay from afternoon into the evening.
