Kayaking Tours in Phang Nga Bay

With the welcoming arms of the island of Phuket beckoning from the midst of the Andaman Sea the Phang Nga Bay is as hot a tourist attraction as its neighbour in the ocean. The limestone formations along the coast have created natural caves, coves and tunnels which are referred to as hongs by the expert kayakers who will assist you to paddle your way through to paradise during the day as well as at nightfall.

Those who think that the invigorating eco friendly activity is best undertaken when you can fully appreciate the limestone under sunlight are in for a pleasant surprise if they undertake the same jaunt at night. The star studded to the purplish black sky reflect off the dark green and black waves that quietly lap around the kayak giving the ripples an instant glow and diminishing the need for artificial lighting.

The experienced oarsmen will be at the helm and they will guide you through an array of coves bobbing in and out of each while you enjoy the egrets, thrushes, kingfishers and hornbills who are perched around undisturbed by the presence of humans. The tide has a bearing on how much of the interior of the coves can be visited and if you are lucky enough it will be possible to travel into the depths of the limestone and back. Though the ride is on ocean waves there is no danger of being pulled away from the mainland and the gentle waves are not likely to make anyone seasick either.

The stand alone islands which are supposedly isolated are actually inhabited by monkeys, lizards, and sun bathing monitors, but are perfectly safe to visit. Thus, when you want to catch your breath or have your breath taken away, row towards one of these tiny islets for a quick peek at the goings on.

To settle down for the day choose a Phuket resort which is not far away. After a long day of rigorous kayaking Millennium Resort Patong Phuket which lies along the West Coast of Phuket island makes a good choice as a dwelling. It is one of the leading Patong resorts and is an ideal base for your travel to this enchanting island.

Adventure travel Phuket

Thailand’s Phuket island is known as a holiday goer’s paradise. Sandy beaches, blue seas, tropical rainforests and renowned nightlife hold plenty of space for fun and relaxation. It is also a great answer to those looking for an adrenaline rush. From the smallest thrill of discovering the beauty of the surrounding reefs to the ultimate shock of jumping off a bridge tied to a bungee cord, Phuket can quench the thirst of any adventure junkie.

As an island, Phuket’s main sell is the seaside and that rings true for adventure travel as well. If you feel that lounging about the golden sands is too lethargic for you, take a boat and head out into the open ocean where the reefs and uninhabited islets await your discovery. Kayaking, canoeing, sailing and scuba diving are favourite ways to take a closer look at the beaches and seas. Back at the beach, surfing is another popular sport that amateurs as well as professionals can enjoy. Leave the crowded beaches behind to try windsurfing, kite surfing and parasailing.

Moving inland from the coast, Phuket turns green and mountainous and gives unforgettable vistas to anyone willing to go the extra mile for a good view. Biking and hiking are best ways of seeing the inside of the island without missing small details. Crags of rocky crops attract many mountain climbers to these hills but to get a bird’s eye view of the land take to the skies in a handglider or paraglider. Some regions also have zip lines across emerald valleys and horseback riding through the tropical mountains.
