Andaman Sea Kayak Pioneers of Phang Nga Bay Exploration
Andaman Sea Kayak: 30 Years of Outstanding Service in Thailand’s Natural Paradise Established in 1991, Andaman Sea Kayak became one of the first innovators in sea cave kayaking and eco-tourism within the stunning Phang Nga Bay of Thailand. For more than three decades, we have been designing immersive experiences that link travelers to the true essence of the Andaman Sea a UNESCO-recognized gem celebrated globally for its limestone karsts, concealed lagoons, and abundant biodiversity.
Our guides are not only employees here, they are part of this place. Having been born and raised in the coastal communities around Phang Nga Bay, they carry generations of local knowledge into every tour. Our local team, with an intimate knowledge of the sea’s rhythms and secrets, shares their hometown with true passion and pride. At the end of your journey, you will love Phang Nga Bay as much as we do.

Phang Nga Bay
Phang-Nga Bay is part of the Andaman Sea, which is itself part of the mighty Indian Ocean. With a surface area of approximately 400 km², Ao Phang-Nga (where "Ao" means Bay in Thai) has been a Thai National Marine Park, thanks to the heavens. This means no hotels, resorts, bars, boutiques, or mass tourism. „Just pristine nature at its finest!“ The bay contains 42 islands and islets. It makes no sense to visit them all; Although all are beautiful, only a few are truly spectacular due to their shape, the external stalactites, and the fantastic caves and lagoons with mangroves inside.
These are all that remains of an ancient coral reef system that extended across the shallow seas of Southeast Asia during the Permian Period (approximately 250 million years ago). The remnants, the islands that you have seen today, are known as “karsts”. The plants on these wonderful limestone karsts must endure desiccation in the dry season, an almost total absence of soil, and harsh exposure to the elements. Animals also require special adaptations to survive in such a hostile environment.
Transfer START from your hotel at Phuket 9:30 AM
11:00: ARRIVE AT AO POR PIER
Reach Ao por pier, located in the north-eastern part of Phuket, When you’re on the boat, please don’t dispute wearing the life jackets; It seems to be legally mandated, and the crew will be under the observation of authorities while they are at or close to the pier. Set off for The National Park Phang Nga Bay, fun, and safety presentation. 3-person inflatable canoes: the guide, who handles all the paddling, is seated at the back with 2 guests in front. 3G/4G service is available in the majority of the bay.
11:40: CRUISE TO THE BEACH
There will be ample drinking water and snacks available. It is also a good moment to use that sunscreen. It was also a good moment to gain your “sea legs” and practice walking on the boat. This offered a chance to use the canoes and paddle ourselves, or just enjoy a swim at the beach.
12:20: PANAK ISLAND
Paddle and discover the two most renowned islands (Panak Island), venture into caves measuring 20-150 m. (dimly lit, lengthy) guide you through the caverns and lagoons, revealing monkeys, bats, walking fish, and remarkable rock formations.
13:30: BUFFET LUNCH SERVED ON BOARD
Included a variety of Thai options and fresh fruit but nothing too spicy, our trip included a drive-by of the iconic James Bond Island, stopping several minutes for a photo opportunity (No visiting due to it ‘s always very crowded)
15:30: HONG ISLAND
Upon reaching Hong Island, the most renowned island, you will find a circle of rocks in the sea encircling the lagoon. On the last return journey to the pier, BBQ Chickens are also served.
18:00: BACK TO THE PIER
Arrive at the pier and transfer to the hotel.

Customer Testimonials
Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions
We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!
Excellente journée!
Excellente journée en bateau pour visites les 4 îles, la guide était super sympathique et accueillante. La journée était rythmée mais lorgique avec 4 îles à visiter! Et fin vers 14h30 donc c’est plutôt agréable pour rentrer tranquillement à l’hôtel pas trop tard ! Belle découverte, je recommande!
Ayutthaya
We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.
Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
