This day-long kayak adventure from Phuket takes you into the heart of Phang Nga Bay's limestone caves and lagoons on a magical adventure.

Kick off the journey with a scenic boat ride to the enchanting Panak Island, where you'll paddle through the Tidal Nape sea caves and into the mysterious hongs (rooms in Thai). Look out for cheeky macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mud-skippers, egrets, sea eagles, and other local wildlife inhabitants who might pop up to say hello.

Heading onwards, explore more caves and hongs around another island, and as twilight descends, take part in a traditional Loi Kratong ceremony. You'll float a self-made flower "Krathong" out to see as a spectacular natural light show unfolds around you, complete with twinkling fireflies and bio-luminescent plankton. You will never forget this part!

As for the food, it's all included, from a nutritious lunch served on board, to a scrumptious seafood or vegan buffet.
