Discover one of Thailand’s most captivating natural wonders on the John Gray Sea Canoe Hong by Starlight tour. This exclusive, unforgettable private charter experience combines secret sea caves, stunning limestone islands, and enthralling bioluminescence in Phuket.
Unlike a typical, crowded James Bond Island tour, our Hong Island Tour from Phuket is a unique eco-adventure designed by the legendary, pioneering “Caveman” John Gray. A stunning journey, focusing on nature, serenity, and authentic cultural immersion.
On our Phang Nga Bay canoeing, you glide silently through tidal lagoons and spectacular sea caves, only accessible by water. Unlike a traditional Hong Island kayak tour, our Hong by Starlight tour avoids the tourist rush and offers a peaceful, deeply personal encounter with nature.
Your incredible day begins in the early afternoon:
Set off on your Hong Island kayak tour and paddle through epic mangrove forests, stunning hidden lagoons, and a dramatic Phang Nga Bay cave tour. Feast on a delicious onboard dinner.
Witness the mesmerising glow of bioluminescent plankton in Phuket, where each stroke of your paddle activates a magical natural light show.
Picture the moment the sun dips below the horizon, and your kayak glides effortlessly through the shimmering blue waters. This unique bioluminescent plankton Phuket tour is ethereal and awe-inspiring.
John Gray’s commitment to sustainable tourism means this tour is run with a strict eco-policy; a prime example of how paddling a sea canoe in Phang Nga Bay is done right.
If you’re interested in unmatched kayak and canoe tours in Thailand, this is a chance to explore untouched nature while supporting ethical travel practices.
Whether you want to spend a relaxing day in the islands, meandering through fascinating locations or want the full, extended experience, the team at John Gray Sea Canoe is here to help.
