The rankingTop 3 kayaking trips in Phuket, 2026

This full-day trip from Phuket includes canoeing in Phang Nga Bay, among limestone cliffs, turquoise water, small sandy beaches and patches of jungle. The boat also stops at James Bond Island, where the lone rock pillar from The Man with the Golden Gun stands out in the bay. The day runs seven to eight hours, with time on the islands as well as in the canoes.

“The included lunch was delicious!”

Going by speedboat lets this tour fit four stops into one day: James Bond Island, Koh Panyee, Hong Island and Naka Island. At Hong the group switches to kayaks to paddle into the lagoon, and Koh Panyee is the fishing village built on stilts over the water. The day runs six hours or more, and a photographer comes along to shoot it.

Twilight Sea Canoe heads out later than most Phang Nga Bay trips, timed to miss the midday crowds in the hongs, the lagoons hidden inside the limestone islands. Each canoe has its own paddler, who steers through pitch-black sea caves while guests sit back, and there is free time to swim or take a canoe out yourself. The cooks on board cater for vegetarians, and the day ends in the caves after dark.

“Worth the higher price compared to other companies for the quality service.”
