Full Itinerary
We have been exploring the remarkable limestone islands near Phuket for the past eight years. Our intimate knowledge of the region has made us familiar with countless little-known, highly dramatic locales. Many were unknown to humans for centuries or more, until 1990.

We designed the rugged, Sea Explorer, a stable and inflatable sea canoe for this task. It’s so stable you can stand in it, so comfortable you can sleep in it and so tough it is immune to penetration by the sharpest rocks. Because the Sea Explorer can pass through gaps less than a meter wide, we can take you to previously inaccessible sites—and that's our specialty.

Float beyond your dreams from open sea to inner earth—and pass into the newly discovered Lost World of the Hong—a completely enclosed open-air inland tidal lagoon only connected to our world only through total darkness. Armchair explorers and seasoned adventurers declare this experience is "a privilege to behold.”

Our three-day total-adventure expedition offers includes starlit nights on romantic beaches and luxury camping with fully catered meals. Sunrise and sunset canoe trips are especially popular among photographers and birdwatchers.

Day 1 - Sunday/Wednesday
This first day is fully guided in our self-designed inflatable kayaks. Your guide paddles you through complex tidal sea caves into lagoons called "Hong's (Thai for "room or chamber".).
