BEST Phuket adventure - The views, the sea life, the guides, the food -- it was all amazing. This is a tour I would book over and over again. Our guides were very knowledgeable and went out of their way to make this the perfect experience for our family.

Unbelievable day with John Grey Sea Kayak - Incredible day. We are staying at the other end of the island, it’s a long round trip to get to the starting point at the north of Phuket. With the heat and humidity we were wondering if we’d were doing the right thing. We did. The tour brought us to three stops. Each was a cave that brought us inside an island. There was incredible scenery and wildlife on show. Can properly be described as awesome. Each canoe takes one or two people with a guide. The guides keeps groups or families together. They are so good to give you space to take photos. Very considerate. The places they bring you are tricky to get to. As guests at times you lie in the canoe to get through tight caves. It only take a minute or two and is worth it. Boarding times depend on the tide. We launched about 1:30pm. Once off the pier and out of the port lunch was served. Dinner served later. Drinking water is free all day. You will and should drink a lot. There was some local crafts before dinner. The deck is covered so you’ll be out of the sun. There will be 25-30 people or so on each boat. Everyone will have a great time.

Best experience ever ! Highly recommend, especially with young children ! - My family and I absolutely enjoyed the Sea Canoe Hong by Starlight tour organized by the John Grey company. It was one of the most professionally organized tours that I have ever joined in more than 20 years of traveling to different countries around the world. From the point of pickup at the hotel to the jovial atmosphere at the dock, the cleanliness of the boat and supplies, the wonderful assortment of delicious foods at both lunch and dinner, and the copious amounts of generous refreshments served throughout the day, it was an all-around superstar experience! The best part of the adventure was our guide, Reed. We are traveling with an inquisitive 7-year-old, Reed had the patience and kindness as if she were a longstanding family member. It was like we had a National Geographic tour guide with us, in the form of a caring uncle. We were so fortunate to have him as our guide for the day. In each part of the tour, Reed actively involved my daughter in topics about nature, the ocean, the environment, and creatively explained each destination in a way that a 7-year-old would find mesmerizing. Halfway through, we were all taking selfies and laughing, fully immersed in the beauty of our surroundings, like true adventurers! I was floored. Kindness in a tour setting is the starting ground for a good experience. But to be with a guide who acted as if he were an owner of the company, carefully giving attention to each detail, elevating each experience, contributing without question to make a great time for his guests, it was an experience we’ll never forget and something I hope the John Grey Company deeply appreciates in what must be one of their best guides. Thank you very much Reed and also to the wonderful staff and superstar chefs. It was an experience my daughter and I will remember forever!

Best tour in Phuket! - We did a full day private tour and it was beyond what we could have imagined. Our tour guide Sun was awesome, paddling us around the islands while filling us with facts about the flora and fauna. The food was amazing and so plentiful! We felt like royalty in this huge boat by ourselves! The bat cave was so cool and everything was gorgeous. This was hand's down the most beautiful and informative tour we did in Phuket.

Second time recommendation! - This was my second time with John Gray company! This is an excellent day trip to include in your Phuket itinerary. The trained staff, limited group-size, and delicious food help to make this a memorable experience. I highly recommend this program!

Amazing experience - Beautifully breathtaking An extraordinary professional team that takes care of you They take you canoeing every time and pamper you The islands and nature are extraordinary and chosen places are not invaded by 30 or 40 boats Max 2 or 3 boats including yours If you want to visit this bay choose John Gray and his teams Do not eat lunch beforehand, everything is planned on the boat and extraordinarily orchestrated The children were as delighted as the adults
