A Day in the Islands



There's a big bay out there, filled with complicated islands, white sand beaches, tropical wildlife, coral reefs and Thai fishing village culture. Throw some kayaks on the roof of our fast long-tail boat - traditional in design and close to the water - and spend a day exploring one of the most beautiful spots on earth with a local guide who knows all the secrets. In the fast long-tail boat, you can travel through the bay all the way to Krabi. The only thing you won't do is visit Phang Nga's caves and Hongs - save that for another day trip!
Sample itinerary for Seat-in-coach tour:
07:30 - 07:50 Pick-up from hotel, transfer to Ao Por or Bang Rong pier. Depart by fast long-tail boat to an island in the north of Phang Nga Bay. Your guide will give you paddle instructions prior to your first kayaking experience. Continue to another island for more paddling before arriving on Yao Noi Island for lunch at a local bungalow resort.
At around 13:30hrs depart by long-tail boat to the limestone islands of the East Bay. There will be opportunities for paddling, snorkeling and swimming around the islands. Return to Phuket and transfer to your hotel on the island.
Sample itinerary for Private Charter: 0800-0830 Pick-up from hote, transfer to jetty and board a traditional cabined fast longtail boat with kayak and Nature Game briefing underway. Circumnavigate your first island with guided paddle training. Return to the longtail boat and move to the next island. Enjoy excellent white sand beaches and dramatic limestone cliffs.
At around 12:30hrs traditional Thai picnic lunch, Farang style.
13:30hrs Move to the third island and circumnavigate the large and diverse island, finally entering a large Hong.
