About this activity

Paddle through Phang Nga Bay's emerald waters on a full-day kayaking adventure, exploring hidden limestone caves, dramatic cliff-lined lagoons ('Hongs'), and secluded islands that made Thailand famous. This immersive national marine park experience combines paddling, cave exploration, and beach swimming in one of Southeast Asia's most iconic landscapes.

The Phang Nga National Marine Park is dotted with a total 42 tiny islands and islets. On this tour you will cruise to some of the most beautiful and spectacular of them. With your skilled kayak guide you will discover dramatic and beautiful landscapes as you're paddled through narrow, winding caves into hidden lagoons surrounded by 1000 foot rock formations.

Explore the many caves and lagoons of this heritage park, taking in spectacular views of Hong Island and Panak Island and marvelling at the beauty of the surrounding nature. The only way in or out is through caves at certain times of the day when the tides are suitable.

Return back to the cruise ship to enjoy a buffet lunch on board before cruising past Khao Phing Kan, the popular 'James Bond Island'. Stop for a refreshing break on a secluded shore and take time to relax on the pristine white-sand beaches.

After your paddling adventure, head back to Ao Por Pier where your return transfer to the hotel awaits.

Insider tips

  • ★Go early in the season (November–February) when water clarity is best and caves are fully accessible; avoid monsoon months when sea conditions worsen
  • ★Wear water shoes or sandals for cave exploration—rocky passages and beach terrain require grip
  • ★Bring a dry bag or waterproof case for phones and valuables; caves involve close contact with water
  • ★Ask your guide about tide schedules; some cave entrances are only passable at specific times
