Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: John Gray's Sea Canoe, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand

Enjoy an afternoon of sea cave exploring literally inside Phang Nga Bay’s marine geology, - including the caves and hidden lagoons John Gray found in 1989. Great nature and wildlife surrounds you.

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.

After a detailed briefing, your professional guide paddles you and your partner through “Tidal Nape” Sea Caves literally inside Phang Nga Bay’s marine limestone karstic islands into “Hongs“(Thai for “Room”)

The hidden cliff-lined lagoons are populated with macaques, water monitors, kingfishers, mudskippers, egrets, Sea Eagles and Brahminy Kites.

We finish after dark by floating your own self-made flower “Kratong” in a spiritual and spectacular Natural light show. Eating our delicious seafood-vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset.

Gorgeous scenery, friendly staff and guides, and fantastic abundant food. Smaller group with plenty of space on the boat so you could relax and not feel packed in. Was more personal experience this way. The guide takes you through the caves into beautiful lagoons. Stunning! We saw monkeys too. Flower ceremony at the end is magical. Don’t miss this tour!

I would recommend this tour to anyone. Instead of island hopping for a day like most other tours, with this tour you only go to 2 islands. The time you spend at these two islands are high quality, longer in duration, informative and fun. This tour was also flexible with it's timings, rather than having to stick to a rigid schedule. We arrived a bit too early to enter the caves, so we hung around and did a different activity while we waited. The time we spent in the caves was not impacted negatively for this additional activity. The lunch and dinner provided was excellent. A huge variety to choose from, none of it was spicy and there was a pot of chillies provided for the more adventurous amongst us. A special thanks to Zack who answered our many questions on the local wildlife, vegetation and rock types and formations. The bioluminescence at the end of the day was a great finale, like swimming among the stars.

We had a great time on the Canoeing Tour in Phang Nga Bay! Everything was well run, the boat very clean and the food delicious! The tour guides were friendly, knowledgeable and I really appreciated the fact that the we had the same guide for the two of us throughout the entire trip. Also really liked the fact that they tried to minimise the environmental impact by using recycled glass bottles and all washable utensils.
