Overview

This tour offers a spectacular afternoon and early evening out on the water, and will take you on a magical journey through the waters around Phang Nga bay, where you can witness the incredible natural wonder of bioluminescence and enjoy exhilarating sea canoeing activities. What exactly is bioluminescence you might ask! Well, this is the capacity of some creatures to emit light and can be found in numerous forms in the Phang Nga Bay area. One of the most noteworthy instances is the bioluminescent plankton present in the bayā€™s waters. These tiny organisms emit a bright blue-green light when disturbed, producing a captivating appearance in the water. The phenomenon is caused by chemical reactions within the plankton, which produce light as a by-product.

Must do tour!

Published on Jan, 2025

Excellent trip, would highly recommend as a must do. The caves were definitely an experience. Buffet in the evening was lovely. Paddling in the bioluminescence was definitely a highlight.

First class day out.

Published on Jan, 2025

Absolutely brilliant trip from start to finish, really well organised and professional set up, great staff on the boat and absolutely stunning scenery throughout. I've been on lots of boat trips in Thailand and whilst the places you visit are always stunning sometimes the tour company, boats or staff leave a lot to be desired, not this one, they were all first class. Highly recommended.

Great tour and lovely crew

Published on Jan, 2025

Great tour and well organised. We got picked up from our hotel promptly and then at the harbour they give a little explanation of what to expect during the day. Started off exploring a cave with stalactites and stalagmites then onto some swimming in the sea. This was followed by a visit to James Bond island and then onto some canoeing (canoes are handled by guides) and then onto dinner at the floating village which was delicious. Finally we got to see the bioluminescents which was amazing to see before heading back.

Plankton night tour

Published on Jan, 2025

We had a great time on this tour. The guide and boat crew were great and gave lots of information about the islands and surrounding area. I would recommend this tour to my friends and family.

Published on Jan, 2025
