Best Canoe Tour Ever! - Honestly this tour was the highlight of my month long trip to Thailand. We were able to do all three of tours on a Study Abroad, but the Sea Cave Kayaking and Loy Krathong Floating were my personal favorite. The guides are so friendly and are willing to talk, they tell you all about the islands from a native perspective, and they create a magical experience. Overall, this company does a wonderful job of fostering the magic and bringing things to life to create special memories. I would highly recommend.

Excellent day on the water - Excellent day on the water. The crew did an outstanding job taking care of the group. We started out on the boat with plenty of cold drinking water and lunch. I did not know it but all the food served on the trip is prepared on the boat by the kitchen crew. Everything served is very fresh and hot so no worries about outside food that might be sitting around too long. The trip featured visits to rock caves that was the best part. Some caves had low clearance so you have to lie back while the guide steers the boat. Some caves are pretty dark but the guide had a flashlight. Some stops we actually paddled through the cave to a lake area in the middle of the island. Later we had dinner and watched the sunset then made floating wish offerings with candles. One last paddle after dark to see the glowing sea plankton, launch your offering and make your wish.

Magical family adventure - This will go in my memory bank as one of the most magical experiences I have had whilst travelling. We were initially hesitant to book as we have an almost 3 year old and a 6 year old, but so glad we did! The tour guides were very helpful and funny as well. They took extra care with our kids and were super careful paddling us around the caves etc. Although it was a large group on the main boat we were split up into 1-2 people per inflatable canoe & we kept the same guide for every canoe outing which I really appreciated. The ‘Kratong’ ceremony was magical, as was the bioluminescent plankton. If there is only one tour you book whilst in Phuket make this it! It wraps culture, adventure & relaxation all into one 👌

Magical experience - It was an amazing tour that definitely exceeded my expectations. The boat was spacious and comfortable, and the group size was just right — not too big, so it still felt personal. Kayaking through the peaceful surroundings really made me feel in touch with nature. One of the most special parts of the tour was the kratong experience — it added such a beautiful and meaningful touch to the day. Everything was thoughtfully organized and created a truly memorable experience.

Great! - Fabulous trip, extremely well organized every step of the journey. Staff very friendly, nothing was too much trouble. Outstanding, authentic thai food, plenty of it. Hongs and caves were something quite different to see and a worthwhile experience. Love the respectful ethos of the company and their policy not to land in places that becones damaged by excessive tourism.

Great day if you don't mind lack of food hygiene - We did the Hong by Starlight trip yesterday and, overall, had a fantastic time. The staff were friendly and professional, the scenery was absolutely stunning, the boat was spacious, and the food was delicious. There are just two things to be aware of. First, you don’t get to paddle your canoe yourself. Instead, you're a passenger while one of the crew paddles for you. That might be perfect for some, but as experienced paddlers, we were hoping for a more hands-on experience. The second point is less subjective: the kitchen hygiene. After using the downstairs bathroom, which is right next to the kitchen, I got a glimpse of where the food was being prepared and the plates washed and stored. Unfortunately, it was far from any definition of clean. I know it's a boat and therefore you can't expect a restaurant-type kitchen or food prep area, but the crew were smoking in the kitchen and handling food with bare hands. I found it off-putting enough to skip eating for the rest of the day, even though I was starving by the end of the trip. That said, if kitchen hygiene isn’t a deal-breaker for you, the day itself is genuinely enjoyable. It's a long one, but definitely a memorable way to experience the beauty of the area.
