0nsite Activities

Grab a kayak from the rack and explore the immediate coastline of Koh Yao Noi – the beaches and little bays that are right near the resort; or join one of Paradise KohYao‘s kayaking excursions that will take you through the spectacular environment of Phang Nga bay, and are designed to bring our guests closer to nature and away from main-stream tourist spots.

Phang Nga bay is known for its spectacular rock formations, stunning natural beauty and unspoiled beaches. An especially unique highlight of the Phang Nga Bay area are the “Hongs” (like a chimney, means literally “room” in Thai) with caves at the base. The interiors can be explored, depending on the tides, best by kayak.

If you love adventure out in nature this is the right excursion for you!

Take a trip through the beautiful Phang Nga Bay & explore all it’s natural wonders by kayak. You will be guided through the many sea caves that the bay has to offer, past spectacular rock formations, and on to explore quiet hidden lagoons where you often spot monkeys and other wildlife.

Along the way we stop at one of the amazing beaches to relax, swim, and enjoy lunch.

Before or after you have seen the caves and lagoons, depending on tides, you will also be taken sightseeing by long-tail boat around the world famous James Bond Island.
