Our World Famous Entry Trip starts mid-day to avoid the crowds, customized transfers included. Don’t eat lunch

  • we serve you on board of our comfortable support boat. After lunch, briefing and a raptor show, a professional guide paddles you through Phang Nga Bay’s “Tidal Nape Sea Caves” in our custom designed kayaks hand-made in Oregon by SOTAR, the World’s premier white water raft manufacturer. The unique experience is dramatic, but Caveman’s SOTAR custom kayaks are specially designed for your trip. We’ve never capsized, punctured or had an accident.

10/10 Would come back again! - This tour was absolutely amazing! Our canoe guide “M” was amazing and took our tour very well and constructed a great “Krathrong” for us to float and make a wish! Our main tour guides “Yew” and one other guy (I forgot his name!) had such good english and explained everything perfectly. The lunch was amazing - catered for every meal requirement needed. Could not recommend a better tour!

AMAZING! Well worth the value for a full day - The canoeing was great fun and the sights were breathtaking. The added element of making a traditional Thai flower to float into the water tipped the whole day off. The food was plentiful and tasty and free soft drinks were available all day. It was the best boat trip we have ever been on and would recommend it to anyone!

This trip is 100% recommended. The staff were amazing and the whole day ran smoothly - First time experience with John Grey. True hidden gem of Phuket. Really worth every single dollar you spent for this tour. Not only you will get to enjoy the view of Phang Nga bay but you also got to enjoy their cultural experience, the whole experience was magica. I am truly amazed how they maintain the quality of the tour despite for operating so many years. John Grey was with us throughout the tour!
