What to expect

Begin with a convenient hotel pick-up, then head to Ao Por Pier and board the escort boat. Skipped breakfast? No worries - an exquisite Thai-style lunch will be served on board. After lunch, your first island adventure begins as you hop into a custom-made kayak and paddle to breathtaking caves and hongs (secluded sea caves). You will then move on to the second island for more cave exploration with your professional guides. Enigmatic hongs are a true sight to behold - so take your time to admire them.

We finish after dark by floating our own self-made flower “Kratong” in a spiritual and spectacular Natural light show. Eating our delicious seafood-vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset. Guests say our evening Loi Kratong ceremony complete with fireflies and dinoflagellates (bioluminescent plankton) is a "Spiritual Experience", "Best Trip of our lives anywhere", and "Best Thai Food We've ever had and on a boat".
