Fanatic day trip with stunning scenery - Absolutely fantastic day trip. Stunning scenery and saw wild monkeys. The lagoons, mangroves, and caves were beautiful.
Our guide Adam was so knowledgeable and funny - “The man with the golden paddle” in Hong Island. Brilliant!

"Starlight" starts in the afternoon - Very nice, relaxing trip. Small group (40 people). When you get to the Hongs, the rest of the tourist stream has almost disappeared. Only a few isolated ones remain. The trip was very well planned. There was plenty of very good food from the small buffet (freshly prepared on board). Very tasty! (Lunch, coffee and cake with fruit, dinner and dessert) I can only praise John Gray (the provider in Thailand).

Absolutely Breathtaking - This is the most beautiful excursion that I have ever been on. The staff is extremely professional, and organized. The cook made us some amazing food, and we got to make Krathong's with our canoe guide. We were lucky to have Saman as our canoe guide, he was very kind and allowed us to relax during our canoeing and helped us make the most beautiful Krathong. We will never forget this trip. Thank you Saman!

A must do ! - We had the best time ! Phang Nga Bay is absolutely gorgeous. We also saw plenty of animals.
All the team is very nice and focused on the passengers well being, all is well organized. The food was delicious.
We have plenty of time on the canoe, no rush at all, the guides (one per canoe) take the time for us to plenty enjoy the visit, they explain lots of things, take photos... Our guide was Mussa and we loved our time with him. He was so nice and really did everything for us to have the most special experience. We also laughed a lot with him !
We definitely recommand this tour, totally worth it ! Thanks again to all the team !

Incredible day with some amazing food. - This trip was amazing, very well organised, the guides spoke very good English, we had time to swim around the bay near the boat, or have a go on the canoe. The guides were great at pointing things out to us in the caves such as monkeys and fish.
The food was also absolutely incredible, some of the best food we had in Thailand, would recommend this trip to anybody, totally worth the price and an unforgettable experience.

Best trip ever! - What an excellent trip! Everything from start to finish was well organized, safe and delightful! I get sea sick but on this tour, I didn’t! The boat was excellent and so was the canoe! The entire crew took such good care of me, they remembered my name and kept asking if I was doing OK! Special thanks to Mr Yo and my canoe guide Oopsi. I will never forget this trip - one of the best I’ve ever been on! Stunning sunset! Thanks John Gray!

Excellent and worthwhile trip - Just back from this trip with my wife and it was the most amazing trip we both ever had. The staff were amazing from start to finish. I have a food allergy gluten-free and once they were made aware of it they looked after it perfectly. This is a trip that you'll experience things you'll never see again. Breath taking views and excellent personal guides....just remember to bring a little cash to tip your guide and the chefs in the kitchen or you'll regret you didn't ....they are brilliant 👌😃😃and full of local knowledge and fun. Thanks to our guide Woody for making it such a memorable day🙌
