Canoe Cave Explorer Phang Nga Bay Tour from Phuket

Phuket, Thailand

Canoe through the idyllic scenery of Phang Nga Bay on this day trip from Phuket. This national marine park is dotted with dozens of islands, limestone cliffs and caves. With your skilled canoe guide you will discover some of Thailand's most dramatic and beautiful landscapes.

This is a unique experience that takes you into the famous Phang Nga Bay. Made famous by the James Bond Movie - Man with a Golden Gun. The newly discovered sea caves and 'Hongs' are an exciting feature. Hong is the Thai word for room. These Hongs are open-air cliff-lined cylindrical tidal lagoons connected to the outside world only through stalactite-filled tunnels which were undiscovered until the spring of 1990.

Of course, there are many secluded beaches here and this trip would not be completed without visiting one for swimming.

The crew on the boat were awesome, always smiling, friendly, laughed with you and the lunch provided was fantastic. Our guide went beyond his duties and went the extra mile for us taking photos and pointing other things out to us. Awesome trip :)

Great trip, I really enjoyed the atmosphere, the supplies on the boat (food + drinks) and the friendliness of the guides. Thank you :)

An amazing day - even better than we expected. Stunning scenery and very friendly and knowledgeable staff, who were really keen to make sure you enjoyed the day. I've watched some of the videos of this and they don't do it justice - you really have to be there to appreciate it in full. Aside from the natural beauty of the places visited, the boat was decent (even had clean toilets, a novelty for this kind of trip), food was really good and a plentiful supply of soft drinks (and even a beer, if you wanted it). There were enough staff too, so you never had to 'wait your turn'. I really can't recommend this enough, thank you to all who made it so good.

We enjoyed this tour. The staff were friendly and helpful. Also the boat was not to crowded. Went to a small beach in which we were the only group there which topped of the day (we were there about 1hr which was nice). The food was good as well. We would recommend

Thrilling and exhilarating experience. Must try at least once in your life. If you are claustrophobic better not go.

The place is really nice, taking the kayaks into the caves is a really great experience and you can see the bay and the lagoon inside the mountains in a very spectacular way. Food on board is quite good.

Just a great experience you won't forget. The guides are both fun and knowledgable, food was great, and kayaking through the caves and into the Hongs is a unique experience.

Pretty amazing. Again the views are incredible and you'll be told a fair few times this is the James Bond island. On the canoeing you get your own person to canoe you around which is really nice and takes away the stress of worrying about where to go and pains in your shoulders! The caves are amazing and we even got to see a walking fish at one point. Our canoe person was excellent but irritatingly I can't remember his name (he was number 12). You get the opportunity to go for a swim and also buy a DVD. The DVD is expensive at 1500 Baht (£30) and if you think you might want this at the end to tell the guy up front to ensure you make regular enough appearances. The photos on the disc do not include any shots of the people of the day which I would have liked to have known before I bought the DVD, but there you go. Overall definitely recommend this

The highlight of the holiday and would recommend to anyone. Very professional crew, knowledgeable and friendly. Appealing to all age groups and felt very safe on canoes. SPECTACULAR scenery, great lunch and an experience not to be missed..

We really enjoyed our day trip. The staff all worked together very well. Our personal canoe guide was great at pointing out sights and animals on the canoe trip. The lunch was the best that we had in our two weeks in Thailand. I wish we would have started a bit earlier and made one more stop to canoe. Everyone was so friendly.

Review by: Kenneth E	March 2011
ALL aspects EXCELLENT. Food on board the boat VERY GOOD. Staff very friendly. Something very different, interesting and educational.

Review by: ANTHONY C	March 2011
A good day. The journey to and from the harbour is quite long really but worth it in the end. I would have liked more time to explore the island itself but I guess they have a schedule to keep. The lunch on the boat was very good and had a reasonable selection. The time allocated for swimming was not very long and being the hottest part of the day made it pretty uncomfortable but nonetheless I would recommend it.

Review by: Keith N	March 2011
Absolutely fabulous trip with great guides and paddlers. Highly recommended, our boats was far superior to the other boats.

Review by: Claire B	February 2011
Fantastic tour loved it great caves so much fun, tour guides helpful and chatty. Buffet lunch was wonderful. Would highly recommend this tour!

Review by: Christina G	January 2011
This was a terrific trip, but active types should know that you won't actually canoe yourself - a guide will do all the paddling for you. We were hoping for more of a "sporty" trip, which this wasn't, but it was still amazing nonetheless. The caves are really incredible. I could see people who are claustrophobic being pretty uncomfortable with the caves, especially at high tide (when you have to lay flat and your nose literally misses the top of the cave by mere inches), but we loved it. There was a little time for swimming, but not much - maybe 10 min max. It's definitely a sight-seeing trip and not an active trip, but we had a wonderful time and would do it again if we ever had the chance

wonderful day out, despite some bad weather in the morning. the tour guide and boat crew were in great spirits and extremely helpful. we visited 3 sites for canoeing and then 1 beach in the afternoon for swimming and relaxing. buffet lunch on board the boat was delicious.

Review by: Lendyl B	December 2010
This was by far the most fun tour we did whilst in Thailand. The guides were well spoken and were so nice. The lunch provided was amazing, we ate so much. The scenery was beautiful, the perfect day.

Review by: Geoff M	July 2010
Great day. We were treated like kings and queens. Friends who decided not to come because of the expected paddling were disappointed when we described our day. We all had paddlers provided and were treated to landscapes that rival the hallowed Halong Bay in Vietnam. The crew were fabulous.

Review by: Kevin B	July 2010
A well-run excursion by courteous & knowledgable staff. The caves, the scenery & environment were spectacular. Fresh, tasty food & plenty of watersoft drink was supplied. A great way to spend the day.
