SEA CAVE CANOE is an Eco-tourism-orientated company specializing in sea cave and island explorations using ‘tour guide-paddled sea canoes’ as the ‘on-site’ mode of transport. (you need not therefore be an experienced canoeist to enjoy their programmes).

In the ‘hongs’ (Thai for rooms); we do not allow our clients to talk, touch the walls, take souvenirs, smoke or make any noise. Numbers visiting the ‘hongs’ in one group are kept to a minimum.

It is renowned for its amazing limestone “sea mountains” that rise from the ocean as vertical rock walls, some peaks reaching 300m.

Few islands are inhabited and the bay is largely untouched by the human hand.

Here we find the famous James Bond Island (from the film “The Man With The Golden Gun”) amongst scores of other fascinatingly and yet naturally, sculpted islands.

Hidden in these islands are numerous caves, tunnels and lagoons, better known as “hongs” (Thai for rooms); collapsed caverns eroded by natural forces over millions of years, that can only be entered via the tunnels when the tide is just right.

Snacks and refreshments are available at all times.

The 3 Day / 2 Night program really allows you to “get into” Phang Nga Bay and its treasure troves!!

Every day presents new exploration opportunities......

Panak and Hong Islands, Lawa Island, Long Island and the Bilae Islands.

You’ll be guided in the canoes through low-ceilinged tunnels and amazing caverns into the surreal and ambient worlds of Phang Nga’s lagoons or “hongs”. The rock formations, the stalactites that have taken centuries to form, the pristine environment and the almost perfect silence add up to: perfect atmosphere.

There’s even the chance to do some rockclimbing on Elephant Island, with instruction from our experienced guides. For those who want to keep their feet at sea level, you have extra time for exploring in the canoe.

This is truly an enchanted place...

We drift through womb-like caverns, needle-like stalactites probe down from high above, the result of calcite dripping over a millenium. The darkened passage and the deafening silence - with the single exception of the paddles that gently pat the water  -  help to create an aura of almost spiritual reverence.

Cautiously, gently ....quietly.....we proceed. Each and every one of us is humbled, made small  by the serenity of this place. He who enters is changed irrevocably, and for life, and emerges with a newfound respect for the boundless creativity of Mother Nature. 

The staff of Sea cave canoe are proud to be able to guide you through this awesome experience...
