A night swimming and snorkelling tour departing Ao Nang in the late afternoon to reach bays where bioluminescent plankton light up the water when disturbed. Best seen around the new moon when moonlight doesn't wash out the glow. Tours typically combine a sunset island stop, snorkelling, and a BBQ dinner before the night swim. Book through operators in Ao Nang or on Klook; departures are weather-dependent and may be cancelled on rough seas.
