Thoroughly recommend!

Such a great experience - our 3rd time (over many years) and our friends first time. Guides were superb, great knowledge of the wildlife and control of the kayak. The food on the boat 😘 If you’re in Phuket, this is must do!

One of the most incredible travel experiences I’ve had!

I can’t recommend this tour highly enough. The guides were incredible and the actual caves and scenery were heavenly. Our guides were locals, their knowledge and love for what they do was felt by all. We had children 12-15 yrs old with us. And as a Mum I felt completely safe with the care that was taken by all the guides on this experience. It’s definitely a must do when visiting Thailand.

Absolute Delight!!!

This tour was truly amazing! we have experienced beautiful scenery of the majestic rocks soring out of the clear water. The crew on board was beyond expectation in their kindness. They worked the kayaks through 3 different caves at 3 different stops. One of the stop was in the evening during sunset. We experienced biolumenessence in the darkness of the cave, and the ritual of the flower arangement with candles set free in the water. We enjoyed abundant fresh food cooked on board during our kayack expeditions. We swam in the lagoons and out of the boat. We also enjoyed the night sky and the constellations on our way back to land. We highly recommend this tour. A+
