A sunset catamaran cruise into Phang Nga Bay from Khao Lak — limestone islands turning gold, swimming and dinner served as the light fades.
Enjoy a premium, laid-back Phang Nga Bay tour at sunset aboard the Aurora Sea catamaran. Discover the bay's remarkable limestone cliffs, clear water and hidden lagoons in golden light, all while avoiding the daytime crowds. Hotel transfer from the Khao Lak area is included, and prices start from ฿3,900 per person.
Highlights include Koh Nok, water activities at Koh Kudu, a visit to Ao Kean's ancient tree, and guided canoeing through Koh Hong's lagoons. Relish a BBQ dinner at sunset and watch bioluminescent plankton near Koh Panak before a starry cruise back to Royal Phuket Marina. With its calm itinerary and comfortable boat, this sunset cruise is ideal for couples and families.
What the Sunset Cruise Includes
This is an afternoon-to-evening departure, so you have the morning free before pickup. The day includes hotel transfer from the Khao Lak area, the catamaran cruise, sea canoeing with a paddle guide, a BBQ dinner on board and national park fees. Bring a light layer for the cooler evening breeze, a swimsuit and a camera — the light over the karsts at golden hour is the reason to come. The boat returns to Royal Phuket Marina after dark, and we drop you back at your hotel the same evening.
Cruise with "The Aurora Sea" Catamaran
This boat is a floating sanctuary that marries comfort with nature. Its elegant design, spacious decks and cosy seating offer the perfect mix of relaxation and adventure as you navigate the beautiful Phang Nga Bay — an elevated experience for travellers who want style and a smooth ride.
Prefer the bay by day? Compare it with our early-bird Hong Island & Phang Nga Bay tour or the James Bond Island tour. For a different stretch of the Andaman, see the Phi Phi Islands day trip, and arrange your ride with a Khao Lak transfer if you are arriving by air.
Exact timings flex with conditions and traffic — your guide sequences the stops to keep them calm rather than rushed. This is how the day usually runs.
After a 90-minute drive, you will arrive at the Royal Phuket Marina Pier.
Once there, you will have the opportunity to enjoy a light brunch and a cup of coffee or tea, followed by a safety and tour briefing at our private pier before departure.
After a welcome on board, a picturesque cruise through the breathtaking Phang Nga Bay, a Ramsar-listed nature reserve, begins.
The view of the endless beach cape (Laem Had) of Koh Yao Yai will remain in your memory forever before you land not far from it on the small Robinson island of Koh Nok. Enjoy a coffee or tea on site, stroll along the soft sandy beach and let the peaceful beauty sink in.
Enjoy a refreshing swim, paddle at your own pace on a stand-up paddleboard or glide in a transparent kayak over the sparkling water in front of and between the bizarre limestone formations of Koh Kudu. Together with the small, hidden beach behind it, the scenery fulfils all the criteria for a picture-postcard view of southern Thailand.
Visit a secluded bay and stroll in the shade of a majestic 300-year-old buttress tree, the likes of which can only be found in Southeast Asia.
Discover the breathtaking beauty of the emerald green lagoons of Koh Hong. Immerse yourself in the soothing sounds of nature as you are paddled along and through the washed-out limestone formations by a guide on shallow water. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy.
Savor a delicious Thai dinner in a picturesque sunset setting, with the crew preparing a BBQ to suit every taste.
Be enchanted by the magical glow of tiny plankton organisms off Koh Panak, sparkling like stars beneath the surface of the water.
Enjoy the relaxing atmosphere on the way back to the pier under the starry sky and let your wonderful day come to a gentle end.
At around 10:30 p.m., you will return to your hotel in a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan with unforgettable memories from this phang nga bay tour.
