The Destination
Phang Nga Bay
Imagine paddling through mystical sea caves as golden hour bathes limestone cliffs in warm light. Picture yourself standing on the iconic James Bond Island as the sun melts into the Andaman Sea. Then, as darkness embraces the bay, witness something truly extraordinary — the water itself comes alive, glowing with bioluminescent plankton that sparkles with every stroke of your paddle. This is the Evening Glow experience, where a full day of adventure culminates in nature's most mesmerizing light show. From THB 3,850 per person.

Good to Know
Before You
Set Sail
Everything you need to know before your evening on the bay. Have another question? We're always happy to help.
Do I need to paddle myself?
No — every canoe comes with a personal paddler who does the work while you relax, take photos, and soak in the scenery. You’re welcome to paddle if you’d like.
When can I see the bioluminescent plankton?
The glowing plankton is best seen on dark nights, away from city lights. Our route and timing are designed around the darkest waters of the bay — visibility varies with moon phase and conditions.
Is the tour suitable for children and non-swimmers?
Yes. The escort boat is stable and spacious, life jackets are provided for everyone, and your paddler handles the canoe. Children from age 4 are welcome.
What should I bring?
Swimwear or light clothes, a change of dry clothes, sunscreen, and a hat. We provide dry bags for your phone and valuables, plus towels, water, and all safety equipment.
Phang Nga Bay Awaits
The Bay Is Beautiful by Day. Unforgettable by Night.
Spaces are limited to keep every evening intimate. Secure your canoe, and let the bay do the rest.
