Limestone cliffs and blue waters characterize Phang Nga Bay, a prime example of Phuket's natural beauty.

Under the guidance of John Gray, an experienced canoe expert, and former marine biologist passionate about teaching locals and tourists alike about the need to protect Phuket, you will explore the bay's hidden corners with a team of local guides. Gray runs the travel agency.

You'll spend the day with experienced guides exploring sea caverns and limestone islands, canoeing through low-roofed tunnels teeming with bat colonies and gigantic stalactites to reach hidden hongs. Hongs have a distinctive shape due to the high cliffs on either side of the water.

At sunset, cast your kratongs into the water and watch them float away as the sun sinks below the horizon. Enjoy a delicious Thai seafood feast under the stars while you relax in the fresh air. The highlight of each canoe excursion is entering a cove where the stars, fireflies, and luminosity create a magical atmosphere. The culmination of your oceanic journey has arrived.
