Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: Hongs of Phang Nga, Ao Phang Nga National Park Thailand
Canoe first island and explore 1-2 caves and hongs
A "hong" – the Thai word for “room” – is actually a collapsed cave systems in the interior of each island in Phang Nga Bay, only accessed by tough, purpose-designed inflatable canoes through sea caves at low tide. Open to the sky and filled with jungle flora and fauna, the hongs conceal a unique eco-system with monkeys, birds, fish and complete quiet, except for the twittering of birds. Local operators have so far gained access to dozens of hongs between Phang Nga and Krabi to the south, which you can visit and enjoy on a Phuket kayaking trip. Each hong tends to have its own distinct character, and it's easy to spend days, even a week, visiting island after island.
Duration: 2 hours
Stop At: Koh Panak Cave, Ao Phang Nga National Park Thailand
Thai seafood buffet dinner during Phang Nga Bay Sunset.
Duration: 1 hour
Stop At: Koh Panak Cave, Ao Phang Nga National Park Thailand
- Make your own Krathong & have dinner on the boat
- Float the self-made Krathong in the cave of Phanak Island
- See phosphorescent plankton
- Kayak in Panak Cave
Loy Krathong Day is one of the most popular festivals of Thailand celebrated annually on the Full-Moon Day of the Twelfth Lunar Month. It takes place at a time when the weather is fine as the rainy season is over and there is a high water level all over the country.
The word “Loy” means “to float”, and “Krathong” means lotus-shaped vessel made of banana leaves. Loy Krathong is, therefore the floating of an illuminated leaf bowl. But nowadays some krathongs are made of coloured paper. A krathong usually contains a candle, three joss sticks, some flowers and coins.

Absolutely fantastic day trip. Stunning scenery and saw wild monkeys. The lagoons, mangroves, and caves were beautiful.
Our guide Adam was so knowledgeable and funny - “The man with the golden paddle” in Hong Island. Brilliant!

This is the most beautiful excursion that I have ever been on. The staff is extremely professional, and organized. The cook made us some amazing food, and we got to make Krathong's with our canoe guide. We were lucky to have Saman as our canoe guide, he was very kind and allowed us to relax during our canoeing and helped us make the most beautiful Krathong. We will never forget this trip. Thank you Saman!

We had the best time ! Phang Nga Bay is absolutely gorgeous. We also saw plenty of animals.
All the team is very nice and focused on the passengers well being, all is well organized. The food was delicious.
We have plenty of time on the canoe, no rush at all, the guides (one per canoe) take the time for us to plenty enjoy the visit, they explain lots of things, take photos... Our guide was Mussa and we loved our time with him. He was so nice and really did everything for us to have the most special experience. We also laughed a lot with him !
We definitely recommand this tour, totally worth it ! Thanks again to all the team !

A fabulous tour…highlights: canoeing through caves into hidden lagoons, the wonderful experience of being involved as the friendly Thai guides make beautiful Krathongs, set them afloat at dusk, light the candles etc.

This trip was amazing, very well organised, the guides spoke very good English, we had time to swim around the bay near the boat, or have a go on the canoe. The guides were great at pointing things out to us in the caves such as monkeys and fish.
The food was also absolutely incredible, some of the best food we had in Thailand, would recommend this trip to anybody, totally worth the price and an unforgettable experience.

What an excellent trip! Everything from start to finish was well organized, safe and delightful! I get sea sick but on this tour, I didn’t! The boat was excellent and so was the canoe! The entire crew took such good care of me, they remembered my name and kept asking if I was doing OK! Special thanks to Mr Yo and my canoe guide Oopsi. I will never forget this trip - one of the best I’ve ever been on! Stunning sunset! Thanks John Gray!

Just back from this trip with my wife and it was the most amazing trip we both ever had. The staff were amazing from start to finish. I have a food allergy gluten-free and once they were made aware of it they looked after it perfectly. This is a trip that you'll experience things you'll never see again. Breath taking views and excellent personal guides....just remember to bring a little cash to tip your guide and the chefs in the kitchen or you'll regret you didn't ....they are brilliant 👌😃😃and full of local knowledge and fun. Thanks to our guide Woody for making it such a memorable day🙌

The tour was very well organized and I would generally recommend it. The scenery was fabulous and the food was wonderful. The staff were very nice and attentive.
The only complaint I have is the size of the tour. It would probably not bother most people, but I usually only book small groups and there were a large number of people on the boat. On the up side, they put you in the kayaks 2 people and 1 guide, so you are very pampered in that regard. Our guide was wonderful!!
There are a very large number of tourists in Phuket these days, so the only way you are going to get a more private experience is to book an expensive private tour.
Overall I would recommend this tour.
