Hong by Starlight | Phang Nga Bay Canoe & Bioluminescent Plankton

Overview

Discover one of Phuket’s most unique Phang Nga Bay experiences with John Gray’s Sea Canoe Hong by Starlight. This late-departure canoe tour avoids the morning crowds and takes you into hidden sea caves, limestone hongs, and peaceful lagoons with experienced guides.

As the day turns into evening, enjoy a Thai buffet dinner during sunset, make your own Kratong, and return to the water after dark to float your Kratong and see the magical glow of bioluminescent plankton. This is a slower, more meaningful nature experience for travelers who want something different from a standard island tour.
