Imagine sitting a lagoon, shrouded in darkness, in the middle of nowhere and faraway from humanity. This experience itself borders on the mystical. Sea Kayaking is best experienced in Phuket. The stunning limestone landscape around this area is home to a secret world of “hongs” – a myriad of caves, tunnels and interior lagoons. The most popular sea kayaking trips in Phuket are through Phang Nga Bay. This covers an area of over 40 limestone islands that shoot up vertically from the sea, with cliffs as high as 300m.
The “hongs” can only be accessed by tough, specially designed inflatable canoes through sea-caves, only during low tides. The “hongs” are filled with amazing jungle flora and fauna and conceal a unique eco-system created as a result of over a thousand years of sea-erosion.
The quiet approach does not intrude on the local wildlife and leaves plenty of time to appreciate and bask in the scenery and natural wonders. This, clearly, will be one of the most remarkable journeys that you will ever make and the memory is bound to linger even after you have left Phuket.
