This tour offers a spectacular afternoon and early evening out on the water, and will take you on a magical journey through the waters around Phang Nga bay, where you can witness the incredible natural wonder of bioluminescence and enjoy exhilarating sea canoeing activities. What exactly is bioluminescence you might ask! Well, this is the capacity of some creatures to emit light and can be found in numerous forms in the Phang Nga Bay area. One of the most noteworthy instances is the bioluminescent plankton present in the bay’s waters. These tiny organisms emit a bright blue-green light when disturbed, producing a captivating appearance in the water. The phenomenon is caused by chemical reactions within the plankton, which produce light as a by-product.

5.00Teddy and his team took great care of us and made sure that we are comfortable and saw all the sights. Just a note, come prepared with a change of clothes as there is a high likelihood that you would get wet. Secondly, the plankton would only be easily visible with there is No Moon or a cloudy night. Otherwise, you would need to go into a cave to view it. Wear water shoes if you have them, but some caves, you have to go in barefoot. In the event of rough weather, please take seasick pills BEFORE you begin your journey. If your hotel is far from the activity area, like ours, we recommend you prearrange your return transport as Grab drivers in Phuket are notorious for playing delay tactics to avoid making the long drive. Overall, an enjoyable day out. We would recommend it
