Day in the Islands from Phuket by John Gray Sea Canoe

Get picked up from the entire Phuket island by luxury minivan. Meet your lead guide at Ao Por Pier in the north of Phuket and depart early morning in a longtail boat. Circumvent north Phang Nga Bay and head to Hong Island for the first kayaking stop. Try hard-shell kayaking at the most spectacular spots on the planet. Be warned – it’s dangerously addictive. Your guide gives you basic kayaking instruction so you can paddle your own kayak. Or, you can opt to paddle a double kayak with a guide. Continue to Koh Yao Yao Island and enjoy lunch at a local Thai restaurant, with healthy and high quality food. Then head to Panak Island, for the second kayaking stop which includes the limestone caves and hidden cliff-lined lagoons discovered by John Gray in 1989. This private trip is perfect in tandem with Hong by Starlight trip for guests who previously booked hotel and people who do not want to camp overnight or want to explore the Bay by themselves on a longtail boat. You can customize the itinerary with your lead guide, probably born and raised in Phang Nga Bay.
