Highlights
- Hong Islands - Be prepared to have the afternoon and evening of your life! After we have picked you up from your hotel, we head towards Phang Nga Bay. There are 42 islands located in the Phang Nga Bay National Park and commencing by cruise gives the best view of this fascinating land- and seascape with limestone cliffs, rising vertically out of the sea. Part of the incredible limestone karst formations that have made the area a backdrop for countless international movies.\n\nLegends tell that sea creatures are responsible for these sometimes surreal images and when looking at it, it indeed fits the profile of a mythological legend. To get up and close and to further explore the secret corners and hidden caves, we board kayaks to enter the \’hongs\’; washout caves, created from the tidal differences by the sea. Lunch will be included on board the cruise before kayaking commences through the many tunnels and lagoons.\n\nOutside of kayaking, you will be offered the opportunity to cool down, relax and even partake in the creation of your own Krathong: a decorative float that the Thai people set sail on streams and rivers during the Loi Krathong festival on the evening of the full moon of the 12th month in the traditional Thai lunar calendar (annually celebrated in November).\n\nAs night falls, you can launch your Krathong under the starry night in the bay while making a wish for good health and prosperity for yourself and those you hold dear. On the way back to Phuket, a sumptuous buffet dinner is served with \’Star Games\’ entertainment outside on the deck. We expect to arrive back on mainland Phuket and at your resort before 9.30pm

Not very thrilling - The tour was nice, but you get on an inflatable canoe, then a guide paddles you around some nice lagoons. We were expecting to get to paddle and have someone else guide us through places. We also got in trouble for swimming while waiting for others to return. Then when we had free time I got in trouble for canoeing too far away. The food on the boat was great, and this would be a great trip for kids or older people, but not adventure seekers.
