John Gray’s Hong by Starlight Phuket with Sea Kayaking + Loi Krathong Floating
About this experience
This day-long kayak adventure from Phuket takes you into the heart of Phang Nga Bay's limestone caves and lagoons on a magical adventure.
Kick off the journey with a scenic boat ride to the enchanting Panak Island, where you'll paddle through the Tidal Nape sea caves and into the mysterious hongs (*rooms* in Thai). Look out for cheeky macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mud-skippers, egrets, sea eagles, and other local wildlife inhabitants who might pop up to say hello.
Heading onwards, explore more caves and hongs around another island, and as twilight descends, take part in a traditional Loi Kratong ceremony. You'll float a self-made flower "Krathong" out to see as a spectacular natural light show unfolds around you, complete with twinkling fireflies and bio-luminescent plankton. You will never forget this part!
As for the food, it's all included, from a nutritious lunch served on board, to a scrumptious seafood or vegan buffet.

HMBotel notes for choosing your ticket
Compare the inclusions above with your plans: admission, a guided visit and a combination ticket may cover different services. The venue name alone is not enough to compare them.
Check the meeting point and arrival instructions before adding another activity. The displayed duration describes the activity; plan travel from your hotel and your return separately.
Booking and payment take place with Tiqets. On that final page, confirm the date, participants, visit language, final price and cancellation rules; an indicative HMBotel price is not a guarantee of availability.
