Day in The Islands
Photo Gallery >>
We added this second day trip of self-paddle kayaking for satisfied
caves/hongs customers who want more, and for claustrophobics.
Circumnavigate the Bay in just one day in our "fast longtail" Boat -
traditional, cabined, close to the water - and fast. Throw some kayaks on
the cabin and "pai teau" (just go) with a small group of good people, two
great guides and a Bay filled with bizarre and dramatic limestone. We
explore at least three remote islands by kayak and enjoy a top quality
traditional Thai lunch - (well, it is just a bit Farang style).
You learn basic Tropical Kayaking, observe limestone islands and their tidal
zone biology, get in some snorkeling and paddle dramatic scenery.
Vistas are great as we pass through the islands of Phang Nga Bay on our way
to "Eiffel Tower" island, a disintegrating mass of limestone far from
tourist crowds. Kingfishers, Bramany kites, egrets and eagles are prolific
as we paddle the clear waters of this island of limestone cliffs, secret
beaches, rock gardens and a beautiful Bay.
Circumnavigation takes about an hour of easy paddling, and then it's off to
Island #2, a double jewel of white sand beaches, dramatic red cliffs, coral
gardens and reef and two sea eagle families. You may think you've seen this
island before, and you might be right - it's a favorite of professional
photographers and video crews.
.
After a beach picnic lunch, it's off to the Jewel of the East Bay. We arrive
after the crowds to explore a large white sand beach on the windward side
with a coral reef good for snorkeling. Then our kayak circumnavigation
includes coral gardens, sea arches, a sea tunnel and a large open "hong"
accessed via a crevasse that once was a sea cave. We pass between the
islands for another hour of late afternoon photo opportunities on our return
to the pier.
