Kayaking in the Mangroves and to Koh Nok

Kayak de mer dans la mangrove à Koh Yao Noi

The Experience

Paddling silently amongst the mangrove roots is a magical experience. You can hear the birds, and sometimes spot a kingfisher or a sea eagle. From Pasai Beach, you can reach the small island of Koh Nok by kayak. And in the bay, you can paddle your kayak into the sea caves that lead to inland lagoons.

Good to Know

  • To visit the caves in the bay (Koh Hong, Koh Panak), you’ll need to join an organised tour with a guide
