Ten years working with local fishermen to craft private authentic experiences.
Long-tail boats, captained by the fishermen who grew up on this water — ten years of working alongside them on Phang Nga Bay.
We design days around tide, season, and light. Pick one of ours, or shape your own.
Pick one — or shape your own.
Through Panak's collapsed cave systems and into Hong Island's enclosed lagoon — best at low tide, before the day-trip boats arrive.

From 25,000 THB
Includes hotel pickup, fresh fruit, drinks, life jackets, shade, captain. National park fees and lunch quoted at booking.

From 12,000 THB
Includes hotel pickup, fresh fruit, drinks, life jackets, shade, captain. National park fees quoted at booking.
Plan this daySlow exploration of Phang Nga's quieter reaches — limestone cliffs, hidden coves, shallow lagoons, and the floating villages most tours pass by. Pace dictated by tide, not timetable.
From 25,000 THB
Includes hotel pickup, fresh fruit, drinks, life jackets, shade, captain. National park fees and lunch quoted at booking.
Plan this dayCalm-water routes only, paced for kids and grandparents — sandbar swims, shallow lagoons, a beach with shade for snacks. Cushions, life jackets, and a captain who's good with little ones.
From 20,000 THB
Includes hotel pickup, fresh fruit, drinks, life jackets, shade, captain. National park fees and lunch quoted at booking.
Plan this dayA direct line to one of the hidden beaches our captains know — long enough to swim, snorkel, eat slowly, and be back to the boat when the light turns. No itinerary beyond this.

Tell us about your dayThree captains. All from the bay. None of them work for us — we work with them.
Long-tail captain since 2014
Tan grew up in the village his father grew up in, learning to read the bay before he could read a watch. He runs Hidden Horizons' family-day routes — calm water, shaded coves, the kind of pace where the kids stop checking how long is left.
Long-tail captain since 2010
Somchai worked the fishing boats for a decade before he ran his first long-tail trip; another twenty years on the bay before that. He runs our early-morning Phang Nga routes — he knows which beaches will be empty at sunrise and which lagoons fill at low tide.
Long-tail captain since 2018
Niran grew up watching the bay shift through the year. He runs our sunset routes and the slower discovery days — particular about light, particular about which beach is right for which week.
Hidden Horizons started in 2016 with one long-tail boat and one captain — Somchai, who'd been fishing Phang Nga for years before he took his first guests out. We didn't set out to build a tour company. We set out to share the bay the way the people who live on it know it.
Today we work with three captains — all from villages on or near the bay — and the same one boat we still maintain by hand. We don't run a fleet. We don't sell packages. We design days, tide by tide, and we send guests home with stories about the people who took them out, not just the places they saw.
A traditional Thai long-tail, quietly upgraded for a day on the water.
The prow, traditional and patient, with the small offering our captains never skip.
Wide canopy, full shade, side curtains for sun and rain.
Cushions, cold drinks, fresh fruit through the day. An onboard toilet — used more often than guests admit.
More boat detail photography coming this season.
Captain Somchai took us into a cave we'd been past three times on other tours and never noticed. The kids haven't stopped talking about it.
We did the standard speedboat thing on our first trip to Phuket. This was the opposite — slow, private, quiet. Worth every baht.
We hired the boat for a small wedding-anniversary picnic on a private beach. They handled everything — food, music, timing — and never once felt like a tour.
Almost always — even on the first boat in. We work around it. On a Maya Bay day we time arrival for the first window after the marine park opens and leave before the speedboat fleet arrives. If avoiding crowds is the priority, we'll suggest the Hidden Lagoons day instead — same scenery, far fewer boats.
Yes. Onboard toilet, regularly cleaned. Used more often than guests admit on a full-day trip.
Up to six guests on most experiences, eight on the Family Day. Always private — your group only, never combined with others.
Hotel pickup, fuel, captain, fresh fruit, cold drinks, snacks, cushions, shade, life jackets, first-aid. National park fees (Phang Nga Bay, Hong Islands, Maya) and lunch are quoted at booking — they vary by route and group size, so we don't bury them in the headline price.
We watch the bay the morning of every trip. If the captain calls it off for safety, we reschedule for any day in your stay or refund in full. If you cancel for non-weather reasons, we ask 48 hours' notice for a full refund; less than 48 hours we hold half the deposit against a future trip.
Yes. The Family Day is built for it — calm-water routes only, paced for kids and grandparents. Other days can be adjusted; tell us the ages and we'll route accordingly.
Yes — see Or design your day. Pick one of our experiences as a starting point, or describe how you'd like the day to feel and we'll build it.
We'll tell you the day we confirm — usually one of our three captains, all locals from villages on or near the bay. If a particular captain matters to you, mention it in the enquiry; we'll work it out.
Send a few details. We'll come back within 24 hours, often sooner.
