Phuket: John Gray's Private Starlight Hongs & Pristine Caves

Experience John Gray's "Tidal Nape Sea Caves" and hidden lagoons with private guides for an intimate, crowd-free exploration of stunning karstic islands, wildlife & a spiritual "Kratong" light show.
Embark on an exclusive midday sea cave kayaking adventure from Phuket, designed to help you avoid the crowds. Your journey begins with a comfortable pickup from anywhere on Phuket Island in a luxury air-conditioned minivan.

After a quick health check, you'll cruise into Phang Nga Bay on a spacious 2-deck boat. Here, you'll receive an in-depth briefing about the region's unique geology and learn how to safely navigate the sea caves and "hongs" (Thai for rooms) in specially designed, handmade SOTAR kayaks.

With your expert guide at the paddle, you'll explore the dramatic limestone caves and hidden lagoons of Panak Island. Glide through "Tidal Nape" sea caves and discover secluded, cliff-lined lagoons teeming with diverse wildlife, including macaques, kingfishers, and sea eagles. Next, you'll visit Hong Island to uncover two more fascinating caves and hongs.

As dusk settles, prepare for a truly spiritual experience. You'll participate in a Loi Krathong ceremony, floating your own handmade flower krathong amidst the enchanting glow of fireflies and bioluminescent plankton. The trip concludes with a delicious seafood or vegan buffet on the return cruise, arriving back at the pier two hours after sunset.
