Chase the Golden Hour on the Andaman Sea. Watch the Sky Catch Fire as You Paddle Through the Calmest Waters of the Evening.
As the afternoon heat softens and the sun begins its descent toward the western horizon, Havelock Island transforms. The harsh midday light gives way to warm amber and copper, painting the ocean in colours no filter can replicate. Sunset kayaking in Havelock puts you on the water during this golden hour — paddle in hand, the Andaman Sea stretching before you, and the sky shifting through a palette of orange, pink, and deep violet that changes with every stroke.
This is the most romantic and visually stunning kayaking experience on Havelock Island. The evening water is calmer than the afternoon, the temperature is perfect, and the western coastline offers unobstructed views of the sun melting into the sea. Whether you are paddling as a couple, with family, or solo seeking a moment of stillness, sunset kayaking in the Andaman Islands delivers the kind of evening that becomes the defining memory of your trip.
Arrive at our base 30 minutes before sunset. Your NIWS-certified guide fits you with a life jacket and waterproof dry bag. Quick paddle technique briefing for a smooth evening glide.
Push off into calm evening waters as the sun descends toward the horizon. Every paddle stroke sends golden ripples across the surface. The sky transforms minute by minute from blue to amber to fire.
Your guide leads the group to the best vantage point on the water. Paddles rest as the sun touches the horizon. The entire Andaman Sea turns molten gold. This is the moment every guest photographs and none forget.
After the sun dips below the horizon, the sky erupts in violet and pink. The group drifts gently on the calm evening water, soaking in the last light. Early stars begin to appear overhead.
Paddle back to shore in the gentle twilight. Warm chai, water, and fresh fruit await at the base. Your guide shares GoPro photos from the golden hour via WhatsApp.
We depart at 4:30 PM to place you on the water during the most photogenic hour — sky shifting through orange, pink, and deep violet.
Our western coastline route offers clear horizon views — no obstacles, just the sun melting into the Andaman Sea before your eyes.
The most popular couples tour on Havelock. Calm evening water, warm golden light, and a shared memory that defines your trip.

The wind typically drops in the late afternoon, making sunset kayaking the second-calmest paddling window of the day. The water is warm, flat, and ideal for beginners and couples alike.
We meet 30-45 minutes before sunset to gear up and launch. In peak season (October-February), this means arriving around 4:30 PM. In summer months, around 5:00 PM. Exact timing is confirmed via WhatsApp based on the sunset time for your date.
Absolutely. Sunset is one of the calmest times to paddle. The wind has died down, the water is flat, and the pace is gentle and relaxed. Our guide teaches you the paddle technique in under 10 minutes. If you have never kayaked before, this is an ideal first experience.
Yes! We offer tandem (two-person) kayaks that are perfect for couples. Many honeymooners and anniversary couples choose our sunset tour specifically for the romantic setting. You paddle together through the golden light while your guide captures photos.
Not at all. You wear an ISO-certified life jacket throughout, and you sit on top of the kayak — never in the water. Our sit-on-top kayaks are virtually unsinkable. Dozens of non-swimmers enjoy our sunset tours every week.
Children aged 5 and above can join in a tandem kayak with an adult. We provide child-sized life jackets. This is also our most popular tour for elderly guests — the calm water, gentle pace, and easy sit-on-top kayaks make it accessible for guests of all fitness levels. We have guided guests in their 70s without difficulty.
Wear lightweight, quick-dry clothing — shorts and a t-shirt are perfect. Bring sunglasses (you will be facing the sun), water shoes or secure sandals (no flip-flops), and sunscreen. A light layer for after sunset in winter months (December-February). Leave valuables at your hotel — we provide a waterproof dry bag for essentials.
Sunrise kayaking is about the peaceful dawn, birdsong, and the first light. Sunset kayaking is about golden hour photography, romantic ambience, and the dramatic colours of the evening sky. Night kayaking takes you into stargazing and darkness. Each reveals a different face of Havelock — many guests book two or three tours during their stay.
The sun sets over the Andaman Sea every evening. The question is whether you’ll be on the water to see it. Secure your golden hour now.
