What can you expect

This new half-day trip by John Gray Sea Canoe offers a late departure from Phuket in the afternoon.

Get picked up by air-conditioned minivan from the entire Phuket Island. Don’t eat a lot of breakfast, as you will be served a healthy and nutritious meal onboard the comfortable escort boat after leaving from Ao Po Pier. During the boat ride you will watch a raptor show and get a detailed briefing about the nature and geological site of Phang Nga Bay. Learn the basic do’s and don’ts of how to securely enter the caves and hongs.

Start the kayaking session with your well-educated and experienced guide through limestone caves and lagoons in the dramatic setting at Panak or Hong Island depending on the tides. The hand-made kayaks are specially designed for your trip, and you can feel absolutely safe because there was never a capsize, a puncture or any accident.

Your professional guide paddles you and your partner through 'Tidal Nape' sea caves inside Phang Nga Bay’s marine limestone karstic islands into 'hongs' (Thai for room). The hidden cliff-lined lagoons are populated with macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mud-skippers, egrets, sea eagles and brahminy kites. Return to the escort boat and move on to James Bond Island.

Explore the legendary and iconic James Bond Island from Hamilton’s 1974 movie 'The Man with the Golden Gun'. Watch the famous rock pinnacle 'Koh Tapu' (translated as Nail Island) and Khao Phing Kan consisting of two forest-covered islands with steep shores.

On the way to the next stop, enjoy a tasty and healthy buffet lunch on board the 2 deck tour boat taking into account your dietary preferences. At Lawa Island, you can self-paddle around the small island, have a refreshing swim in the clear and calm water or just relax at the sandy beach.

Get spoiled with light and delicious meal on the way back to Ao Por Pier before the driver will meet you at the end of the pier to bring you back to your hotel.
