Day 1: Arrive Phuket Fly from Bangkok to Phuket. On arrival at Phuket airport, you will be met by your guide and transferred to your beach hotel, the Old Phuket, located in Karon, on the south-western coast of the island. Overnight in Phuket.

Day 2: Kayaking in Phang Nga Bay (overnight on Koh Phanak) This morning is free. Enjoy a leisurely breakfast at the hotel, then perhaps relax on the beach until midday. Around noon, you will be collected from the hotel and transferred to the Ao Por Pier where you will meet with your kayak leader and the rest of the group. After a short briefing, board the cruise boat. Spend a few hours cruising through Phang Nga Bay, while enjoying a delicious lunch served on board the boat. Late afternoon, after the midday heat has passed, take to the water in your kayak and begin to explore the caves and coast around Hong Island with your kayaking guide. Your trip will take you into quieter spots away from the crowds. You can stop at any point

to relax on the boat or go for a swim—there’s no route to follow, and it’s entirely up to you to set the pace.

As the sun begins to set, your kayak leader will show you how to make a Thai water lantern, or Krathong. Later this evening, enjoy a delicious seafood buffet, served on board the boat as the sun sets. As night descends, cruise back to Hong Island by moonlight, and then, in your kayak, enter one of the caves from where you can launch the handmade water lantern you made earlier—the lanterns, floating in unison and glittering under the night sky, create a beautiful spectacle. Return to the boat and cruise to the beach at Koh Phanak, where you’ll set up camp for the night. Overnight on Koh Phanak (beach camping).

Day 3: Phang Nga Bay to Phuket Wake early this morning and enjoy a delicious cooked breakfast on the beach, complete with fresh coffee. Phang Nga Bay is particularly quiet in the morning, so take advantage of the lack of crowds and enjoy an early morning paddle. After a couple of hours on the water in your kayak, return to the boat and then sail to the Krabi side of Phang Nga to explore the limestone rock formations. Returning to your kayak in the afternoon, paddle around a number of the more remote

islands in the bay stopping for a picnic lunch along the way. Late afternoon, return to the boat and cruise to Ao Por in Phuket, where you will be collected and returned to your hotel, the Old Phuket.
