Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product
Stop At: John Gray's Sea Canoe, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand
This full-day kayak trip from Phuket starts at midday to avoid the crowds, with a convenient pickup service by luxury air-conditioned minivan from the entire Phuket Island. Don’t eat lunch, as you will be served a healthy and nutritious meal onboard the comfortable and modern twin-engine escort boat after leaving from Ao Po Pier. During the boat ride you will watch a raptor show and get a detailed briefing about the nature and geological site of Phang Nga Bay. Learn the basic do’s and don’ts of how to securely enter the caves and hongs.
Start the first kayaking session with your well-educated and experienced guide through limestone caves and lagoons in the dramatic setting at Panak Island. The hand-made kayaks are specially designed for your trip, and you can feel absolutely safe because there was never a capsize, a puncture or any accident. Your professional guide paddles you and your partner through 'Tidal Nape' sea caves inside Phang Nga Bay’s marine limestone karstic islands into 'hongs' (Thai for room). The hidden cliff-lined lagoons are populated with macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mud-skippers, egrets, sea eagles and brahminy kites. Return to the escort boat and move on to the second island with two more caves and hongs to explore.
You will finish after dark by floating your own self-made flower “Krathong” in a spiritual and spectacular natural light show. Guests say that the evening Loi Kratong ceremony complete with fireflies and dinoflagellates (bio-luminescent plankton) is a 'spiritual experience'.
Eat a delicious seafood/vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset. Only the highest-quality ingredients are used to prepare the lunch and dinner, fresh from the local market. Seafood is net caught and chickens are free range. Brown, red, and black rice is served with homemade Massaman curry.

We enjoyed this adventure as a couple, would be okay for singles but it could be lonely if you don’t find someone to talk too.
Our guide was calming and helped us by paddling away from the other noisy guests to give us a peaceful, relaxing experience.
Don’t go crazy eating the food if you don’t travel on boats, a small amount sea sickness might set in about half way through the trip.
Drink the water provided.
I would recommend grabbing the bow seat for the hour long ride home and curling up to enjoy a cuddle and the cool sea breeze.

Awesome kayaking excursion! The trip was planned out well to avoid crowds and hit the correct tides. We had a guide that paddled for us as we visited various caves and lagoons. We kayaked 3 separate times with the last being at night which was so cool! We went into a pitch black cave to light and float our krathong. The boat was big which was nice so it did not feel crowded. The food was very good. Definitely tops on our list for excursions taken!

Entire experience was amazing. This is a must do I’m telling all my friends about. The caves were a fabulous experience and navigated expertly by our guides (Sun & King.) We saw animals, created a beautiful floating lantern, ate the local cuisine & even had time to swim. Loved this trip.

This was an absolutely amazing experience! Our guide was King and he was so knowledgeable and fun. He is also a professional photographer as he was more than happy to take picture for us and they were amzing! We were lucky enough to see monkeys, an anaconda and hold a jellyfish! His patong was by far the most beautiful and he made us flower crowns to match! Absolutely a trip of a lifetime food was also amazing and all the staff were very welcoming! I would come back to Thailand just for this excursion!!

A great full-day experience canoeing through bat-filled caves and exploring small island beaches (some even have monkeys). The team puts on a lovely spread of food for lunch and dinner with snacks in between. Drinking water is provided.
Amazing views and photo opportunities.
Our guide was really knowledgeable and spoke good English

This is an amazing experience. Charlie was the best guide. He helped me feel safe going through the caves after telling him I was claustrophobic. The food was fantastic and abundant the entire trip and I definitely recommend it. Don’t recommend it for kids under 8 though. April is dry season and the water was too low to go through some of the caves but we still saw 2 on our trip. The whole staff was very accommodating and it was an enjoyable experience.
