5.00This kayaking day trip around Phang Nga Bay was my favorite of all my group's excursions during our stay in Phuket. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable, the food provided was delicious (and accommodated vegan/vegetarians), and the experience of kayaking, snorkeling, and swimming at various locations in the bay was truly magical. Our group booked a private tour and it was totally worth it. We also basically had every area we went to ourselves! Most of the other kayak tours don't allow you to paddle your own kayak, which is what we were looking for. However, even the inexperienced kayakers in our group had no trouble keeping up! Seriously cannot recommend this enough!
NOT ENOUGH STARS - AWESOME

5.00NOT ENOUGH STARS - AWESOME From start to finish, this was amazing, I'll group into customer service, accommodation and the actual kayaking experience: 1. The whole thing was managed personally by the owner and tailor made for me. All on whatsapp with every thought for my me having a wonderful experience. I had an issue entering Thailand because I did not book a hotel for first night as we did not know if I would make the last boat to Koh Yao Noi. Asia Paddle saved the day and resolved in minutes, they made the booking and forwarded the necessary documentation in minutes. Just one small example of the outstanding service 2. I loved the beach hut they booked for me, right on beach, relaxed restaurant and massage 3. Thank you Mr Run - he is your guide. The scenery was spectacular
One-day kayak tour in front of a fantastic backdrop away from the tourist crowds

5.00The kayak tour was very well organized and took us past beautiful islands and rocks. Our guide was very competent and friendly and looked after us wonderfully all day. We were provided with very delicious food and felt very comfortable.
BY FAR THE BEST THING WE DID IN THAILAND 🇹🇭

5.00We had an amazing time and experience, Paddle Asia and the guide Mr Run was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate in the way he goes about his business. The day was faultless from hotel pickup to the moment we were dropped back off. My partner was a little apprehensive as she'd never been in a kayak before but Mr Run put her at ease instantly, and she was practically a professional by the end of the day 😅. We went at our own pace and were able to stop for photos as often as we liked. Lunch was provided on our very own secluded beach, rice, curry, fish and vegetables, and tea and coffee, all very nice. Water is provided throughout the day, and Mr Run makes sure that you are well hydrated. This was our penultimate day in Thailand and by far the best thing we have done. I cant recommend it enough!!
The best activity in Phuket.

5.00The best experience in Phuket! I loved seeing the different islands, the views were breathtaking, and having lunch on a random beach on the island was such a cool experience. Everything about it was 10/10 and an experience I will always remember. Be prepared for a long boat journey out to the islands however but so worth it. The staff are lovely too.
Highlight of our trip

5.00I was nervous booking this trip for our extended family of 5(including my 80 year old somewhat active mother & 23 year old niece who is not very outdoorsy). In addition it was raining a LOT. Dave reassured me throughout that we could go at our own pace and he was right. The scenery was simply gorgeous!! Kayaking in the lagoon/mangroves was amazing/so unique! The afternoon kayak trip was challenging so it was good the 2 of them sat it out, but was a good feeling to have kayaked in the difficult wind/waves! Our guide was so cheerful and fun to be around- thank you for organizing such a great day.
Fun off-the-beaten-path adventure!

5.00Run is a fantastic guide!! He did a good job of adapting the tour to our ability level and is very knowledgeable about the islands and the creatures we saw. He is very experienced, and it shows. All people we interacted with were very punctual, prepared, and polite. All logistics, including hotel transfer, were figured out for us, which helped us focus on having a good time. Prepared lunch was very good. This tour (2-day trip) was everything we hoped for, but probably not suited for absolute beginners. We were very satisfied with the balance between safety and sense of adventure.
100% worth coming

5.00I booked two day sea kayaking trip - booking and payment process were easy and the trip itself was great! I've never did kayaking before, Mr. Run considered that and let me paddle in my tempo. Views and nature there are fascinating, photos cannot describe it to its fullest, you should go and see yourself :)
Our vacation favourite, absolutely stunning

Kph Yao Noi two day kayak trip

5.00We did a two day kayak trip with Paddle Asia, day one exploring the lesser visited limestone karsts and small coves and beaches just north of Koh Yao Noi including a surprise visit into an hidden lagoon where all we could hear was the oysters popping closed, and we could see monkey foot marks in the sand. The second day visited remote mangrove lined gorges in the north of the bay well off the beaten path with stunning scenery, we saw nobody apart from distant fishing boats and the sense of peace was wonderful. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, but also allowed us the freedom to paddle at our own speed and gave us space to enjoy such a special place. He also had a genuine love of his home area and was concerned about threats such as plastic pollution, it was great to see a company happy to pick up rubbish from the beaches we visited and who provided the lovely lunches in reusable containers no throw away plastic which is such a huge problem in Asia. Koh Yao Noi is a lovely island with genuinely friendly people, I would highly recommend a stay if you re visiting the area.
