Day 1 – Departure from Phuket – Phang Nga – Koh Hong

Phuket is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Thailand, famous for its nightlife and quiet bays where you can start a perfect charter boat trip for relaxation and fun.

Starting from this famous island, we then sail north-east towards the Phang Nga Bay, famous for its dreamy and spectacular landscape with karst limestone cliffs, rocks and numerous small secluded beaches. We anchor in Koh Hong which is the ideal place for a refreshing swim or a leisurely kayak tour. This area is known for its so-called “hongs” (Thai word meaning rooms) which are often only accessible by canoes and small boats. They are in fact characterized by narrow tunnels that open into breathtaking open spaces with a unique ecosystem made up of different species of local flora.

The shores and water are also teeming with beautiful wildlife, unlike anywhere else in the world.

Day 2 – Visit Raleigh Beach

The next day we reach Raleigh Beach, a famous place for rock climbing. Here wonderful limestone cliffs rise vertically from the sea. Beginners can sign up for introductory courses to this sport and, under the guidance of an instructor, climb these walls safely and securely.

This is a great opportunity for a family adventure and great views the more you get on top!

Day 3 – Have a stop to Tiger Cave Temple

Today we temporarily abandon the sea and our boat to head inland and reach the monks who pray at the Tiger Cave Temple, located about 30 minutes by car and also known as Wat Tham Suea. Visit the cave and the temple. Join the locals paying their respects to the monk community and ask for a monk’s blessing. Sports enthusiasts will not miss the opportunity to climb the 1,237 steps of the “stairway to heaven” at the top of which are a statue of the Buddha and some of the most extraordinary views in Thailand.

Alternatively, you can take a quieter path that leads through the shady forest, home to nice but often mischievous monkeys. Pay attention to your backpacks!
