Night time at sea - incredible!

Our guide Charlie was a legend! He knew all the secrets to make our experience super special. The location was incredibly beautiful and the night experience was the absolute highlight.
They were very accommodating to our vegan diet also! Highly recommend!
Great experience all around.

Even though it was raining heavily here whole day the teipwas really amazing. Rain coats were offered so to not get as soaked.
Guides are great and you feel very safe the whole time. We had a guy named Term and he was really awesome. Really funny, very kind and was interacting a lot with us. All in all awesome tour.
The food was also really tasty!
A must do experience while in Phuket.

Limestone caves, flower making and seeing flourescent plankton were the highlight of this tour. Chef was awesome in providing us good option for vegan food. Also our canoe guide was very good in providing information about various places we visited and clicking awesome photos

Absolutely incredible experience!!
The day started with a punctual pick up, then we arrived at the pier. We were able to purchase waterproof phone cases and drinks which was very convenient. Then we took off on the boat which was very spacious and comfortable. The food was super delicious and very high quality. We went to two incredibly beautiful spots to kayak and in the second spot we were able to swim. Dry bags were given for free. We were then taught how to make a personalised flower lantern to use after sunset. Dinner was also delicious. The flower lantern experience was really special and we were even able to see and play with the bioluminescent plankton in the water. Overall, staff were extremely professional, friendly and helpful. This was an absolutely gorgeous experience and we couldn’t recommend enough. The only thing I would encourage people to consider is that the kayaks come in pairs so groups of odd members will have one person without a partner. However this does not really matter because staff make a good effort to keep group kayaks in close proximity so it’s not a big deal.

Highlight of our trip. Honestly never seen such beautiful sights. Choose this instead of the mass tourist boat experiences.
An awesome experience <3

This trip was SOOO awesome, easily one of the best things I did in Thailand. My parents (aged 60+) accompanied me on this trip and they had a blast! The guides were so nice and addressed my parents as "Mama" and "Papa" (so cute, haha!) throughout the trip. They made sure my parents felt fully safe and had fun!
If you're having second thoughts about it, DON'T. This is worth every penny spent! I could keep talking about how wonderful it all was, but it's best experienced. Go ahead and book this trip, you will not regret it. :)
Wonderful

Dorn was our guide and he was great. I was so nervous going through the cave but he was patient with me and made me feel very comfortable and safe. Such a great experience for us.

A mystical experience. John Gray has written the blueprint on how sustainable tourism should be done. Best organized day trip on holiday in my life.

We were lucky to have perfect weather and tides for this trip.
The big boat trip to pang nga was comfortable and enjoyable. We received a thorough safety briefing and met our own personal guide for the kayak. Kayaking through the caves were fun, and when the occasional tight squeeze presented itself, the crew handled it like the experts they are.
Lunch, snacks and dinner were all wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone to dish multiple times and they did a lot of effort to consider all the special dietary requirements on-board.
Our guide, Ong, was friendly, enthusiastic and answered all our questions. He did a lot of extra effort. He got out of the kayak into the water a few times to take pictures of us, he strategically took us to specific spots first so we could see with no other kayaks there and he went right to the back darkest corner of the cave so be could properly experience the bioilluminescent plankton. Ong made our experience all the more enjoyable and we are very thankful for him.
The plankton in the cave was an absolute highlight. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It's a once in a lifetime experience.

Service - the whole team on the boat (huge team because 1 driver per 2 guests) was very service oriented, made sure the boat stayed clean the whole time, each and everyone helped out with setting up the buffet etc. > really well organized.
Guides - the guides were in a good mood and entertained the people in a good way. They played with the kids and during the Kajak tours they have interesting informations.
Experience - the Kajak tours through the caves and around the islands were amazing! Also the preparing of the little flower boats and letting them go in the water was a beautiful ceremony which we will remember forever.
Food - wow!!! Never ever have we thought to get such amazing quality food on a boat trip! Lunch was lite and veggie but sooo good and dinner was even better. Thanks to the two chefs downstairs.
Organization - everything from Start to end was very well organized. Not a single moment I had the feeling something went not as planned.
Very well done! I can only recommend this beautiful experience !
Incredible experience. One to not miss.

Our tour guide Term was fantastic. Became our little photographer and guide for the day. Although caves can be quite the squeeze and very dark, we felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was delicious with plenty to go round. Saw some incredible views with the bioluminescent plankton at the end of the tour a great finish.

A unique experience that you must try

We were so happy and grateful that we picked this unique tour. It is different from the common tourist experience. They were very well organised and you are paired with your personal canoe guide/ rower. We were lucky to get a guide (Charlie) who could speak good English, funny and has lots of experience as he grew up in area. He also assisted to support the other canoes which has guide who was unable to speak much English. We were happy with that as it enabled us to enjoy the experience with the other guests. The food provided were great especially dinner which was a feast. Overall, it was a great tour by a fantastic team of staff.
