    This trip lived up to its expectations. Great staff, vert tasty quality food, good planning and timings, beautiful scenery. The guides do the paddling for you and are very attentive and friendly. Min our guide looked after us really well and took plenty of photos for us. This company is eco conscious and so are the crew who all respected the surrounding nature. It was a good day as we saw many monkeys and plenty of soaring sea eagles and hornbills as well as jumping fish. A fantastic day out.

    The trip was spectacular. We were able to see parts of the island that most people don’t see. Going through the sea caves and coming out at incredible lagoons. Each kayak had a guide and we never felt rushed. The floating Krathrong ceremony was unique and beautiful. The food and selections was delicious

    Went on March 5th, 2024. We had hotel transfer to/from and it was much appreciated. The tour was amazing and we had the best guide TOY!!! A big group goes on a speedboat, but each couple is randomly matched with a guide who will kayak for you while you sit back relax and take pics. It was beautiful in the lagoons, seeing all the sea creatures, and EATING THE BEST FOOD WE HAD WHILE IN THAILAND. Man those ladies can cook!!! It was such a special memory making the Loy Kathrongs. Awesome to have a cultural piece added to a water activity. But the icing on the cake was the BIOLUMINESCENT PLANKTON!!! It was such a good tour and HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!

  6. Thomas_K

    Good organised. The caves are not so special. Just dark stones but the surprise after you get through it is very nice.

  7. Jodi_H

  9. Deepak_G

    Super guides, great food on the boat, nice kayaking experience. No complaints! Farooq is one heck of a tour lead!

  10. Georgian_B

    We went out 3 times on the kayak and got to see some amazing scenery and wildlife, including monkeys in a tree above us and the glowing plankton at night. The captains and very friendly and knowledgeable. You get to watch and join in the crafting of the flower offering which you drop in the water at night. You also get to paddle yourself if you want and the food was also excellent.

  11. SuTing_M

    Booking was super easy, driver that picked us up was punctual. Was well fed on the trip with quality food, the staff were all super friendly and enthusiastic making sure we were relaxed and having a great time.

  12. Paul_H

  14. Josh_D

    We had a fantastic day out – there was so much food and drink provided! We loved being paddled by an experienced kayaker as it allowed us to relax and really take in the views. It was a fantastic day and a highlight of our time in Phuket.

  15. solenne_R

    Everything was perfect : the boat, the team, the food and the activities ! caves and lagoons were beautiful, to create our candle and then going to the cave was so magic, thank you to the team

  16. starandliz100

    What a great trip!! The first cave we went to was busy so the guides took us to another cave first. It was a great experience with good food and amazing sights. I definitely recommend it!

  17. Anthony

    Absolutely brilliant tour, fantastic tour guides and unbelievable experience.

    Would fully recommend this trip

  18. Anna_K

    A very well organized tour indeed. Started with great communication of pickup times and place. The driver was sharply on time, and not much wait through the whole experience. The team was super friendly, everyone speaking good English. Nice and clean boat. Got to see lovely lagoons, glowing plankton and also got free time for swimming/paddling. Delicious food and plenty of drinking water supplied throughout the day. Highly recommend!

    One of the James Bond movies filmed on 1 of the 132 islands in Phuket, so it’s a tourist attraction for kayakers and tour boats. We did the kayaking all day tour. What an amazing experience, and very happy we chose John Gray experience. The boat ride out is an hour out to the first island, so amazing views and ocean breeze. They first had their guide kayak all of us out through the caves and lagoons, but after awhile we got to get our own kayaks. We went through two islands of caves and lagoons.
    Then they taught us how to make kietongs, a float offering to thank the ocean and give it respect. It is made out of banana tree bark,banana leaves, orchids, merugolds, other flowers, candles & incense.
    At sunset We took our 3rd kayak adventure to a cave, lit our kietongs and made a wish for the sea.
    Lunch & dinner was all homemade Thai food on the boat.
    Beautiful day 🐬🌴

    All of the guides were very knowledgeable and friendly. The food was very good and there was plenty provided. We had a great time.

  21. Greg_M

    Travelling by canoe through the caves into the lagoons was amazing. However the bio luminescence display was even better. The food was good with plenty of choice (some vegetarian choices) and unlimited water provided. Would recommend this tour to my friends.

  22. Patty_G

    It was a wonderful experience! The guides truly go out of their way to make sure that you are having a great experience. Food was fantastic.

  23. Rekha_B

    Loved the experience! we went on this experience to celebrate one of our friends 40th Birthday, the tour operator was so kind enough to provide us a complimentary cake to celebrate her Birthday during sunset. Food was amazing and all canoe guide on each canoe were so lovely and careful. They gave us a personal experience which we can never forget. Very safe and they take care of you. we had sudden rain which no one expected it was also an experience to see misty clouds and rain in the middle of the sea. Making of the Krathong was fun and beautiful to float at night. Dont miss it we were 6 off on a girls getaway trip from Australia and enjoyed every bit of it!

  24. Lawren_P

    Overall me and my wife had an amazing experience. From pick up to drop off everything was timed and executed perfectly. S/O to our guide Na-Meem

    Hong by Starlight with cave kayaking was A-MAZING! All the staff were fantastic and served a lot of delicious food!
    Our kayak guide “Bow” was so friendly, funny, and knowledgeable.
    Some of the most beautiful hidden gems along this tour. Highly recommended!

  26. Taylor_N

    Wonderful day exploring the local islands and sea caves. The staff were on time, professional, and fun. Don was a great guide and we had a very personalized experience. We enjoyed being on the water and the sunset was gorgeous! The Loy Krathong “festival” was very unique and special. We saw bats and plankton that lit up at night. Overall, a great experience!

  27. Mark_J

    We got picked up at our resort and had a one hour drive to Thalang-Pa Khlok, where we boarded our boat at 1pm for the day at Ao Por Pier. We went on a day/night kayaking tour to Ao Phang Nga National Park. We relaxed while our tour guides paddled us in and around several caves. The views were spectacular and it was very peaceful. We also enjoyed a beautiful traditional Thai lunch and dinner. Then we all made Krathongs with our guides and let them go after sunset in the cave and made a wish. This was one of the best tours we’ve been on in Thailand. We definitely highly recommend this tour.

  28. Amanda_M

    From start to finish this was an amazing experience. Delicious food, great guides, and beautiful scenery. We had a blast, and we highly recommend this trip. Out of all of the excursions we went on in Phuket, this was the best, thank you!

  29. Ron_C

    Was wonderful. We debated to go to Phi Phi island or the Pang Nga Bay. Glad we choose the later. John Gray seemed to be the most eco driven tour and that was what made the choice for us. Our guide was brillant. I have some issues with sitting without back support so was initially uncomfortable in the canoe, however Rahod our guide took action and fashioned a back rest for me from life jackets. Made the conoe experience perfect. He also took us away from the main group to see some extra things, Most appreciated. Can not recommend this tour enough.

  30. Kendra_J

    We had the most amazing time on this tour. The food is incredible and more then enough for a full day’s adventure. Our personal guide, golf, was amazing and was so easy to chat with. We absolutely loved everything about this experience. The day was planned perfectly. The crew takes care of everything and you get to sit back and relax and really enjoy how incredible and magical Thailand really is. I would HIGHLY recommend this trip it is well worth the money and you will come away with incredible memories ( and photos)/

    This was the best boat tour experience I have had.
    First of all this is a great tour basis what all is covered. The boat was clean and well maintained. Very good food spread for all meals. Additional beverages on board were reasonably prized.
    Icing on the cake: amazing staff which made the trip comfortable and fun for everyone on board.
    Special Thanks to our canoe paddler, Kayy.
