Cave and Lagoon Canoeing in Phang Nga Bay
Board a speedboat north to Phang Nga Bay, where a day of nature-driven island-hopping awaits. You'll climb into a canoe with your guide and set off.
Feel yourself transported back in time to prehistory, when the steep limestone cliffs of Panak Island were formed. Your guide will take the lead on canoeing under low-hanging ledges into the island's eerie caves before you head to Hong Island for a glimpse of some pristine white sand beaches. When you're ready for lunch, you'll hop back on the speedboat for a ride past James Bond Island to a resort on Coconut Island. Enjoy a tasty local meal before your return to Phuket.
