As the afternoon light changes, enjoy the peaceful scenery of Phang Nga Bay and watch the sunset from the sea. After dark, experience one of the tour’s most memorable activities: creating and releasing a traditional Kratong into the water and watching the bioluminescent plankton glow around your canoe when conditions allow.
The tour also includes a delicious Thai dinner served onboard, allowing you to enjoy local flavors while surrounded by the spectacular scenery of the bay.
With its combination of sea kayaking, caves, hidden lagoons, sunset views, Thai culture, and nighttime nature, Hong by Starlight offers a special way to experience Phang Nga Bay away from the usual daytime island tours.
