Twilight Sea Canoe – Day and Night Adventure with Glowing Plankton
Embark on a truly unique experience with our Twilight Sea Canoe tour—an unforgettable journey through the breathtaking scenery of Phang Nga Bay, designed to highlight the beauty of this coastal paradise both in daylight and after dark. This full-day excursion blends exploration, relaxation, and nature’s magic into one seamless adventure.
Your journey begins with a relaxing cruise aboard a spacious, well-equipped big boat. As you glide across the emerald waters, enjoy welcome refreshments and take in panoramic views of towering limestone cliffs and unspoiled tropical landscapes. Our expert guides—fluent in English daily and German on Tuesdays, Thursdays, Saturdays, and Sundays—will share fascinating insights into the area's rich ecosystem and cultural significance.
The first part of the day is dedicated to daylight exploration. You’ll be transferred into sea canoes piloted by experienced paddle guides who will navigate you through hidden lagoons, dramatic sea caves, and ancient karst formations. These surreal, otherworldly spaces reveal the untouched beauty of Phang Nga Bay. Keep an eye out for local wildlife such as monkeys, mudskippers, and sea eagles.
As the sun begins to set, you’ll enjoy a delicious Thai buffet dinner on board, freshly prepared and served against the backdrop of a glowing horizon. Then, the true magic begins.
After dark, your sea canoe adventure continues into the night, now with a surreal twist—bioluminescent plankton. As you paddle through the water, the movement stirs up radiant sparkles beneath you, creating a glowing trail that feels straight out of a dream. This rare natural phenomenon is a highlight of the experience, offering a once-in-a-lifetime moment of connection with the living ocean.
This 8-hour guided tour offers more than just sightseeing—it’s a full sensory experience that blends adventure, nature, and serenity. Ideal for couples, families, or solo travelers looking to see a different side of Phuket, the Twilight Sea Canoe tour promises an evening you’ll never forget.

Customer Testimonials
Wunderschönes Erlebnis mit Elefanten!
Das war einer der schönsten Ausflüge, die wir je gemacht haben. Die Elefanten leben hier wirklich artgerecht - kein Reiten, kein Zwang, einfach nur Ruhe und Respekt. Wir konnten sie füttern, mit ihnen spazieren gehen und sie aus nächster Nahe erleben. Die Atmosphäre war total entspannt, nichts war überlaufen oder touristisch übertrieben. Auch die Guides waren super freundlich und haben viel über die Tiere und den Hintergrund des Projekts erzählt. Man merkt sofort: Hier steht das Wohl der Tiere an erster Stelle. Für alle, die Tiere lieben und auf verantwortungsvollen Tourismus Wert legen, ist das ein absolutes Muss. Danke an Phuket Travel Store für diese besondere Erfahrung!
