John Gray's Sea Canoe
This full-day kayak trip from Phuket starts at midday to avoid the crowds, with a convenient pickup service by luxury air-conditioned minivan from the entire Phuket Island. Don’t eat lunch, as you will be served a healthy and nutritious meal onboard the comfortable and modern twin-engine escort boat after leaving from Ao Po Pier. During the boat ride you will watch a raptor show and get a detailed briefing about the nature and geological site of Phang Nga Bay. Learn the basic do’s and don’ts of how to securely enter the caves and hongs. Start the first kayaking session with your well-educated and experienced guide through limestone caves and lagoons in the dramatic setting at Panak Island. The hand-made kayaks are specially designed for your trip, and you can feel absolutely safe because there was never a capsize, a puncture or any accident. Your professional guide paddles you and your partner through 'Tidal Nape' sea caves 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, mud-skippers, egrets, sea eagles and brahminy kites. Return to the escort boat and move on to the second island with two more caves and hongs to explore. You will finish after dark by floating your own self-made flower “Krathong” in a spiritual and spectacular natural light show. Guests say that the evening Loi Kratong ceremony complete with fireflies and dinoflagellates (bio-luminescent plankton) is a 'spiritual experience'. Eat a delicious seafood/vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset. Only the highest-quality ingredients are used to prepare the lunch and dinner, fresh from the local market. Seafood is net caught and chickens are free range. Brown, red, and black rice is served with homemade Massaman curry.

5.00This was an absolutely amazing and unique, one-of-a-kind experience that is a must-do for anyone in Phuket. This experience is one of my key highlights of my trip and is what comes to mind when I think of Thailand. The crew is very nice and experienced. This experience is worth the money and the day it will take.

5.00If I could 10/10 that’s what this tour was The tour guides where excellent with knowledge and made the experience super Made sure you had a wonderful time We were a group of 10. Date we went was 9/5/26 My husband and I (David & Mel ) had, Jay as our tour guide Could not speak highly of Jay, very patient with me going through the tight areas in the caves. Reinsured me we were all good. We are team ☺️ very knowledgeable of the area and explaining each cave. The food was so yummy, the flavour was mmm’ no words can describe The tour guides made sure to keep everyone informed on what was happening throughout the day Again can not speak highly enough of this caves tour and the guides. creating flower offering to release in the caves and share with the guides was wonderful If you are after a boat tour that is abit more smooth and not feel rushed like the speed boats tours, take this tour won’t be disappointed Out of all the boat tours we have been on, our many times visiting Thailand, this has to be the best hands done 💯

5.00Long day but worth the unique experience with bioluminescent & sea cave kayaks. Would have preferred a smaller group but everyone was well taken care of. Our boat had about 30 plus passengers . The guides are fantastic and paddle you through the caves so you can relax and enjoy. The dinner was delicious & beer for purchase on board if you want. Very enjoyable day.
Do it!!

5.00Definitely one of the highlights of our month in Thailand. The tour was extremely well organized, the buffet food was the best we had in Thailand, and the views were breathtaking. A very special moment was seeing bioluminescence inside a dark cave, which was unlike anything we had ever seen or imagined. Having a guide handle the kayaking allowed us to enjoy the scenery without worry, and the kayaks were very stable.
Best experience in Thailand.

5.00What a beautiful and memorable day we had in Phuket on the John Gray tour. We were one of only four English-speaking guests on the boat, and our guide (Term) made the entire experience feel personal and special. We paddled through quiet caves, discovered our own little beach, and even took time to collect small pieces of litter so we could leave it better than we found it. The food was wonderful, the weather was perfect, and one of the most meaningful moments was creating a floating offering and praying for our family. And then — as night fell — the water came alive. Watching the plankton light up around us was nothing short of magical. Grateful for the beauty, the stillness, and the memories we’ll carry home with us. ✨ Our only feedback is that we wanted to see the sunset, but because the other boat was positioned the way it was, we did not have the chance. Both boats should have been positioned so that the other was not in its way.
Book it, you will not be disappointed!

5.00What an amazing day! We really enjoyed ourselves. The scenery and caves were amazing and our guide Jay was the BEST!! He made our day very special and was such fun (see picture!) You have lots of time to kayak and see incredible caves. You also have lots of food and the flower offerings were a very special ending to the day. Thank you all so much. I would thoroughly recommend this trip.
