About this tour

Swim and snorkel in turquoise shallows, paddle across emerald waters, then visit the limestone karst made famous by a 1970s spy film. Stop at a working fishing village built on stilts and paddle into sea caves. Your guide navigates the boat while you handle the swimming.

What to expect
You'll board early from your Phuket hotel and ride 45 minutes to Hong Island, where the morning is yours to swim, snorkel the reef, and paddleboard in shallow lagoons. After a break, re-board for Phang Nga Bay's limestone maze. A guide poles you by sea canoe into shadowy caves thick with stalactites, then you'll motor past the famous karst spike and pull ashore at Panyee Island to wander its wooden walkways and watch fishermen mend nets. The pace is leisurely but involves frequent water entry—bring a towel and don't wear anything you can't afford to soak.
