Phuket
Minimum of two people required. Sea canoeing and rock climbing in
Thailand's gorgeous Phang Nga Bay--Our sea canoe trip is set in Phang
Nga National Park in the Andaman Sea near Phuket. This area is
renowned for its spectacular limestone mountains that rise directly
out of the sea. In addition to viewing this striking scenery, we have the
opportunity to explore numerous caves, lagoons and collapsed caverns.
On the second day we try our luck at scaling some of the strangely-shaped
limestone formations so prevalent in Phang Nga Bay. That we do so
directly over the water is an added treat.
