Talk is cheap - even videos can lie - so to help you know who's real, we let our unedited guest comments do the talking. All comments are on-file in our guest's own handwriting.

If the comments seem unreal, believe them! We are proud of the genuine superlatives.

I hitchhiked home in the transfer car after a Hong By Starlight trip. My guest was pleasant and well traveled. We reached my Soi and he shook my hand.

"I'm proud of my extensive travels, and I love activities. With my worldwide experience, I've got to say the service, food, quality and experience on John Gray's SeaCanoe is the best ever. Thank you for the privilege of joining your trip."

As I walked to my jungle home, I committed to transcribing as many comments as I can between guide training, video production, writing books and university lectures - and going on as many trips as I can. You deserve The Truth before you spend your Quality Time and Hard-earned Money.

2006-2007 HONG BY STARLIGHT

We had heard so much about this place, and wanted to do iti the best possible way, i got it with john grays sea canoe, not only did i found out they were the first the starlight trip was amazing other people who had done other trips, moaned about overcrowding we had none. The trip is hard to describe, we left hotel at a decent 11 am (most other trips we did left 7am) left and went kayaking in the amazing Phang Nga bay our guide paddled us through some of the most amazing scenery I have ever seen and took us amongst some wicked wildlife. We had a great dinner buffet that we never found any better in thailand (and they have the best food in the world) then we went out for a night paddle and what an experience. very hard to describe just do it the starlight trip with john grays sea canoe.

Sawasdee Caveman,

I want to say thank you for our excellent guide Kittikorn Jaripak (Max). He also fetched us from Cape Panwa Hotel and took us back. He was very helpful and gave us good answers to our questions. He was also a good driver and was very patient with some very bad drivers on our way back. He made our day very enjoyable. Also thanks to all of the crew on the boat - they were excellent too. The day was very memorable.We have shown a few people the photos we took during the trip. The scenery that says it all. A most impressive day.

Please feel free to use any of my (very positive comments). Please pass my thanks on to Max and the entire crew.

Regards,
Keith Wakeman

Dear John,

i finally did get down to phuket last month and enjoyed Hong by Starlight immensely. It was a memorable experience and the food was spectacular. I must admit to overeating on the Masaman curry!!

Just thought i would drop you a note to say thanks!

I will probably be getting my sister to come see this as well next month.

cheers
Surojit Mundle

A wonderful experience

We have just returned home from a holiday at Phuket and Phi Phi island. We went on your Hong by night / afternoon tour and we really enjoyed it. The food was great. The staff efficient, friendly and polite and the scenery wonderful. We especially apreciated the work of our guide / paddler Saman. He made paddling seem effortles and patiently showed us all the points of interest. Please pass on to him how happy we were with his work that day.

Hi,

Just wanted to let you know that we enjoyed a very professional 'Hong by Starlight' trip in February. Our guide was Bau (spelling?), and he was very knowledgeable, courteous and endured our humor. He made an excellent guide, and we appreciated him a lot. We hope to join a tour of yours near Hanoi some year. Thanks for a good time in the sea canoes.

Sincerely,
Bob & Sue Weidman

Hi John,

We are back from our beautiful vacation and wanted to say "kob kun krab" to you and your team. Without doubt the highlight of our short vacation was the two days spent with your marvelous guides "Mario" and Eak (don't know how to write it)! We've seen a lot of beautiful places and really were "inside" Thai's nature.

We wish you all the best,
Silvia and Oskar Mayr "Wiener" Italy

Dear Mr. Saman,

Thank you so very much for the lovely tour of the caves. We really appreciated the way you pointed out all the wildlife and we loved your great sense of humor. Thanks from 'Mama' as well!

Hello

On Tuesday 22nd May 2007 we spent a magical day with your team doing the Hongs by Starlight.

One does not know where to start in saying how great the day was. The meals were divine, lunch, afternoon tea and dinner, and it makes you wonder how it was all done in such a tiny space - AMAZING.

The staff on board were wonderful, informative and great fun. We learnt so much from our guide who was so special.

Our 8 and 9 year old had a fantastically enjoyable day - and is one of the high lights of their trip

We tell everyone how great it was and if they are looking for something different then do this as they will not regret it.

Thank you once again.

Dear John,

Thank you for the most amazing day on Saturday, June 2, 2007. The journalists could not believe such a terrific experience would materialize - from the moment they saw the islands looming through the mist to entering the hongs to the delicious supper and the great slide show at the end of the day. Your photographs really are magnificent - I especially loved the birds and the lizards.

Really, the day was the highlight of their trip so far. "An experience we will never forget" many journalists told me. Thank you so much. And huge thanks too to all your wonderful staff. Indeed your guides are excellent - well-informed, polite and very kind. Also we all appreciated their great sense of fun.

Last but not least thank you for your personal journalism presentations and all the insights you gave everyone throughout the day.

Good luck, huge thanks and all the very best from all of us at the Indochina Media Memorial Fund,

Hi John,

I'm sending you this email quickly as it's the first opportunity I've had since taking the trip last week. I wanted to say how much we all enjoyed ourselves (even our petulant 15 year old young 'lady'!). There was so much for us all packed into a short time; the combination of caves and lagoons with the Thai offerings experience and the marine education.

Our guide Sonny was fabulous (as were all other staff we met) - a real credit to your organisation in both the quality and content of service and that all important feeling of being valued as a customer. The food was superb, and your staff were simply wonderful with the way they catered for the dietary requirements of the aforementioned youngster!

All in all we had a marvellous time. You can be assured you have a new ambassador of your services in me/us (for what good I can do anyway!) and your tours will always be booked by us whenever possible.

Once again, thank you for making a special holiday that much more memorable.

Kindest Regards,

Hi John Gray

I recently (last Saturday) went on the Hong by Starlight tour and felt compelled to congratulate you and all your staff on the excellent time that was had by myself and my three friends. It was well organised, from the pick up at the hotel (with the guide apologising for being 10 minutes late, this would not happen in Australia) to the final farewell with the staff lined up along the steps at the wharf, we were made to feel as though we were special. The food was fantastic - we were amazed at how the ladies in the kitchen below deck could serve up such fresh food (and kept hot) from such a small kitchen area! The guides that we had paddling for us (Suman, and Wan - spelling is probably incorrect I'm sorry) were very accommodating and Suman's knowledge and grasp of English for someone who is not formally educated was outstanding. We were amazed at some of the facts he shared with us and is now known by myself and my friends as the Thai encyclopedia! Unfortunately the weather was against us at the end of the evening and we encountered a heavy shower very soon after dinner, as we were sitting at the back of the boat we had to stand in the area where the table was. In what seems like true form of the staff on board the boat we were offered the area behind the Captain to sit in during the return trip to the wharf. During this time we were delighted to have a truly enlightening conversation with a member of your crew - we were very remiss in not asking him his name, however he is married and has one child with another due shortly. Please pass on our thanks to all of the crew who made this day out the highlight of our visit to Phuket!

We will certainly recommend your company to any of our friends that go to Phuket.
Please keep up this impressive standard, and please pass on our congratulations to all of your staff!

With thanks from a truly satisfied customer,
Sue Jones

Just to let you know we had a fantastic time sea canoeing in Thailand! The Hong By Starlight trip was without doubt a highlight of our holiday. Our guide, Suman, was superb - my son called him Captain Jack due his uncanny resemblance to Jack Sparrow in Pirates of the Caribbean! He told us all about the wildlife and the area.

As our son sent our kratong floating off across the moonlit sea, he said his wish was that we would come back to Thailand - and somehow I think we might just do that!

Wow, I've done some cool things in my life but this was one the coolest.

John Gray and his staff have put together a day of sea, flora and fauna but at the same time they didn't forget I was on vacation, it was very relaxing. The staff was well informed about natural history and Thai customs, they were humorous and put everyone at ease and yet made us feel safe. The authentic Thai cuisine was the best.

I still can't believe the natural beauty right at our fingertips. At the end of day, we all walked off the boat in awe. I do a lot of things on vacation that I never remember this was one I will never forget. Don't miss it.

John- Hello!

We have returned from our trip to Thailand. I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank you for the services your company and staff provided. It was definitely one of the hightlights of our trip. Living close to Missouri, we canoe and kayak quite frequently and just love it. Your staff were all so pleasant, helpful and kind. THEY made the trip and definitely deserved the huge tip we left them with. I realize how hard that type of job can be......to show enthusiasm when you do it day in and day out, you have selected and handful of wonderful people to work for you and its apparent they really enjoy their jobs. Again, thank you so much,

Natalie and Barry Fitzgerald

Dear John Gray and JGSC guides,

I really enjoyed the day my family and our friends went on John Gray's SeaCanoe last January 17th. I loved going through the Bat, Diamond and Oyster caves.

My sister and I really look forward to coming back to Thailand, so our family is really thinking about coming back. There are some things we really want to do again and canoeing with you is one of them.

The guides may not remember me, but when it was time to swim I made them all swim with us. We played a really fun game with them - we had to see who could stay on the canoe the longest until we flipped them over. My guide was Saman, so will you tell him I say "Hello". Thank you for a great day and I will write again from Mahli.

I have recently returned from a trip to Thailand and just wanted to let you know that the highlight of the holiday was the Hong by Starlight trip my son and I took with your company.

It was an amazing experience and please pass on my thanks to Pong, our guide for the trip, who shared his knowledge and love for the area with us and made the experience very special.

Many thanks

Michelle Blakeley

Hi John
Just a quick note to thank you for the starlight tour. The tour was genuinely superb. The spectacle and the quality of the guides is unsurpassed in any tours we have done anywhere. Special thanks to Son for the organisation and our own guide Ib who made our day. The crew as a whole were friendly, funny, and totally dedicated to seeing us enjoy the tour. We are coming back next year to enjoy the experience again and to expose our children to this amazing experience.

Hi John,

Just wanted to send a note and thank you for an amazing day out. We took our 3 sons on your "Hong by star-light" trip and it was the highlight of their holiday. The staff (Mario and the gang) were just fantastic with our kids and made the day one that they will always remember. They loved jumping off the top of the boat and having "pirate" try to knock them off the canoes. The food, the scenery the guides - everything was great.

Thanks again
Michelle Jones, Australia

I just wanted to send you a big thank you for both meeting with me and allowing us to review your trip, it was amazing!! I will defiantly be recommending it when i get back home, it has actually inspired me to take a slightly different angle with my research.

The guides were fantastic, food splended and the scenery spectacular. I will prepare a proper brief on the trip as soon as I return to Australia..

The guides were the most knowledgable guides I met in Thailand and were very funny too, great sense of humour!!. I am in Phi Phi at the moment, and although the scenary of the tour I just took was good, I missed the knowledge and briefing of the area. Good on you for putting together such an inspiration trip, which is a leading example of how to combine all the expecations a tourist has within an eco-tourism experience. Pass on my many thanks once again to all the guides!

My husband and I did the Hong by Starlight trip on Saturday, Oct 28. We had a fabulous time! Nu was our guide and did an excellent job. His English skills are great and we enjoyed spending the day with him. We have many friends visiting Thailand in the next few months, and we'll definitely recommend your trips. And we hope to return in the next year, so you'll probably see us again as well. One more thing, my husband says the dinner was his best meal in a 12 day trip in Thailand.

Thanks,
Emily

Greetings from New York!

I had an amazing time exploring the beautiful hongs of Phang Nga Bay. Words truly cannot describe the beauty of the place, and I now understand why you left a paradise like Hawaii to make Thailand your new home. I know that the trip was just one day, but the images will stay with me for years to come, and I plan to make sure that the trip is not a once-in-a-lifetime experience; I will definitely come back and join more trips with you, and, of course, spread the word about the Big Monkey. Your dedication and passion are humbling, your staff engaging and knowledgeable. Please send my regards to my guide, Nu, and that I look forward to hearing from him.

Warmest Regards,
Yeri Kim

What a pleasure it was to meet you and your wife. My trip to Thailand was perfect.

The sea kayak adventure was one of the most wonderful things I have ever done. The only negative was that you weren't there. My compliments to you about your staff. You are right, they make the deal work and it is to your credit that they are as attentive, concerned and capable as they are.

I don't recall the head count but I can tell you that (on your behalf) I listened to everyone there and did not hear anything resembling a complaint but only effusive compliments and praise. I went through the pictures today and I am still in awe. Thank you so much and keep up the good fight!
If there is anything I can do for you, just ask. I'll be in touch.

Aloha, bruddah,

Hello John, We are home now (California, US). We wanted to write and let you know that we absolutely LOVED the SeaCanoe tour. Our paddler was Kew and he was great. We were very happy he was our guide, we feel as though we got the best guide of the bunch and he made the trip PERFECT for us. Please let Kew know he is very appreciated.

Your day trip was the highlight of our entire 2.5 weeks in Thailand. The food on the boat was delicious (better than most of the restaurants we ate at) and there was plenty for my wife to eat even with her limited diet. We will definitely tell all of our friends and relatives that your tour is a must do.

Thanks again!

Hi John this is Ron Wale and Gaynor Hornigold. We had the pleasure of spending the day with yourself your crew and Jerry Redfern the reporter from Dir Spiegel on your day and night sea canoe. We have to tell you that the trip was the highlight of our holiday which was just a few days after the Tsunami. It was a memorable day for us and we often talk about it to our family and friends. We also recommend it to anyone travelling to Thailand. At the moment we are back in Phuket for a three month stay.

Hoping all is well with you and your business.
Ron & Gaynor

Hi John,

My name is Paul Johnson, I am a travel agent in New Zealand for the House of Travel group.

My wife and I did the Hong by starlight trip on the 29th of January and I wanted to write to thank you for coming down to meet us before the trip started it was great to get a chance to meet and talk with you.

The trip was fantastic and a one in a lifetime experience for both of us as we have never had the opportunity to do anything like this before. I would also like to thank everyone on the trip who made us feel welcome and looked after us, they made the trip extra special. Also for the lovely flowers and cake to celebrate our honeymoon, it was totally unexpected, but the kind thoughts made us feel extra special

I have recommended to all of our friends, family and to my colleagues at work for anyone going to Thailand to book the John Gray Sea Canoe trip in New Zealand before going to Thailand as the experience and service provided is fantastic.

Thanks once again to everyone at John Gray Sea Canoe for helping to make our honeymoon an experience that we will never forget.

Kind Regards
Paul and Karen Johnson

BEST OF THE BEST

Since May, 2004 (full unedited comments follow in chronological order)

JUST A BIG HYPE?

I was told this was the best tour to do and everyone was right.  My 15 year-old had a wonderful time, as did I, and I am sure she will remember this for many years. Our guide Ib was fantastic and everyone so friendly and fun.  As for the experience, it was absolute magic.

Thanks, Howell and Erin Oct 21, 2004

We had waited a long time to do the Starlight canoe trip with John Gray and today surpassed our expectations.  Truly wonderful.  You really get in touch with Nature.

Thank You John! Tynan Gray UK  Oct. 31, 2004

Wow!  We heard about this through an internet chat room and we were advised that this was the one to do.  After spending an afternoon and evening exploring hongs I will definitely remember this experience - they say once in a lifetime but we will be back!

Mike & Leanne, Perth, WA Oct 21, 2004

This trip has lived up to the hype!  We were recommended via website Phuket.com to go on "this" canoe trip.  Our photos will not do the scenery any justice but will remind us of a great and special day.  Guides great!!  Food Excellent!!  An experience to remember forever.

Thanks, Mark & Kate Shellcross Sept 2004

We've been many places and done many tours and have experienced nothing better than Hong By Starlight.  The crew was fantastic, the food was awesome, the views spectacular as our guide was sensational.  Well done, John Gray!

Matt & Michelle, Australia Oct 26, 2004

There are no words that could ever begin to touch the truly amazing experience today from being terrified in the beginning!  I found myself crying at the end at the beauty and feelings overcome by.  Thank you all so much, cannot begin to explain how much today meant to me.  I will definitely be back!!

Many thanks, Love and light, Nickie, UK Oct 11, 2004 (non-stop rain)

Excellent!  Excellent!!  Excellent!!!  Thanks so much for making our most memorable day of our lives.

Pindaovz Family Bangkok, Aug 13, 2004

I want to know how you can make this experience for such a low price - unbelievable value!

Pilar and Ahli Costello (California) Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

Thank You, John Gray!  You really put together an amazing journey of excitement!  10/10 for everything.  Your instructor makes me feel safe going under caves, as I'm claustrophobic.  Thanks, Eddy.  The food was beautiful.

Cheri, Brisbane, Queensland Australia  Sept 4, 2004

Wow!!  It's been a great trip.  I enjoyed canoeing with my Mom and my guide.  I love every single thing that I did today at the trip!  I would love to come here again.  There are so many things that I've never seen and enjoyed.

Thanks!  Miey Bry (12 years old) Encinitas, CA Aug 3, 2004

A most amazing experience, by far the most exotic trip of our visit to Thailand.  Thanks for sharing this experience with us.

Ulave & Gil, Johanesburg, South Africa July 4, 2004

Such a great day. and certainly something we have never experienced before.  This is a great job I have, and I hope I can inspire many more Kiwi's to come and experience what we have today.  Fantastic to meet you, John, and have you share your knowledge with us.  See you in New Zealand - Go All Blacks!

Cheers and thank you, Nita & Ed, House of Travel July 17, 2004

This has been a fantastic, eye-opening trip.  I will remember this as the best day of my time here, which is in no small part because of John and his crew.  Thank you all very much.

Sam Chester. UK Oct. 30, 2004

Absolutely bloody marvelous.  (The Most) Truly incredible trip I have ever had.  Very good.

LABOR OF LOVE

It was a wonderful journey.  Great food, magical scenery.  Friendly fascinating guides!  Thank you al.  Even the rain couldn't dampen the spirits - adding to the mystical surroundings.  We will be telling everyone about John Gray's magical mystery tour and will be back - and we learned how to get untangled from (magic) ropes and make kratongs!

Just back from Thailand and Hong Kong and WOW!

As promised, here is my review of the John Gray Sea Canoe - GO! GO! GO!

We went on the Starlight tour and it was one of the highlights of our trip. The guides were excellent - fun and extremely knowledgeable. I was impressed at their concern about the environment to the point of picking up garbage left by other tour groups ahead of us.

There were two meals included and the food was excellent and plentiful. They had a great supply of soft drinks, water, tea and coffee with fruit snack as well.

Scenery was phenomenal and at no time were we rushed. We had lots of time to soak in the surroundings and found the sights to be beautiful, serene and tranquil. We had the wonderful opportunity to observe from very close up about 14 Macaque monkeys in their natural habitat.

If I am in the area again, I will definitely do this tour a second time.

A real don't-miss!

October 29, 2004

Hi John, Friends of ours, Alan and Cheryl, older (early 60's) had a not so pleasant trip a few days later - they said their guide was a "skinny XXXXXX" who showed little interest in anyone and was not informative - I think they must not have been on the tour with you and booked the wrong tour.

Kind regards,Patrick - Noosa Queensland

(That's correct, Patrick - It's a company that "uses your name and reputation to lower our quality and make a lot of money".  Their guides even have to bring their own lunch, usually in a Styrofoam box that we eventually clean up from the sea!)

A perfect day.  Great people, sensational food, amazing scenery.  Best day out experienced anywhere in the World.  So glad we did it - (if we listened to the tour counter) we would have missed something very special.

Michelle & Jeff, Australia, Oct. 25, 2004

Thanks for a great time.  You and your staff did an amazing job.  Everything was top notch from the pick-up, introduction, actual excursion and dinner.  Also great to see someone who is concerned about the environment rather than another fly-by-night tour operator who is just interested in making a quick buck!

Canon Fung, Canada Oct 21, 2004

This was an amazing day, much more than we expected.  Our guides were so friendly and courteous, true gentlemen.  Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

Aaron & Krista, Redmond, WA  Aug 7, 2004

Only one word can explain what we experienced today, "Unbelievable".  One of the best things we've ever done.

Thank You, Diane & Charlie Saraceno, Oct. 25, 2004

It was absolutely fantastic.  We were lucky to pick the most experienced and best Sea Canoe trip.  Someone should let tourist know that there are so many different operators and that John Gray's operation is the Best! 

Jodi Cross, Australia, Oct 24, 2004

Very professional and enjoyable experience.  The guides briefed us before boarding the rafts.  When we encountered other groups it was readily apparent they had not received similar briefs.  Definitely recommended.  

Brady.June 4, 2004

Easily our most memorable day in Thailand!  Many thanks to the guides for their skills, knowledge and kindness.

Julie Andrews, Eilidh, Alasdair, Canada July 5, 2004

Thank you so much for a wonderful experience.  Best day we have had.  Scenery was awesome.  Our guide Eddy was fantastic, made the trip perfect.  Loved it!  Will tell all our friends.

Thank you, Bryce & Karine, Oct.22, 2004

It was wonderful, splendid, amazing!  We can't wait 'till our next trip here in the place of Paradise!  But we want also the same guide and the same polite crew!!!

Thank You, Efharisto !(Euxzpiaw!)  (Greek)  Lazaso, Lextour gapaulos + Argiro July 4, 2004

Great job and very well organized.  Very friendly crew.  Food was excellent.  Well done.  BEST SEACANOE COMPANY IN THAILAND!!

A fantastic day.  Thoroughly enjoyed it.  I'm glad we went on John's tour and not one of the other less professional outfits (we saw).  Well done and Thanks.

AFRAID OF THE DARK?

The best thing we have done in Thailand.  Fantastic guides (especially Pong) and delicious food.  Will recommend this tour to anyone.  The starlight bit the best.  Great crew, great day.

Rebecca (Bec) and Judy Artis - Melbourne, Australia Oct. 31, 2004

"Absolutely amazing."  The highlight of the trip was the evening hong visit and the special "Loi Kratong".  Our guide Pong was great fun and informative.  Overall an unforgettable experience.  Thank you very much John and keep afloat.  We wish you all the best.

EAST ASIA TURNS ON TO NATURE!

The most unforgettable trip and I ever have.  Thanks for the company arrange the night trip to the cave adventure.  It is so thrilling and spectacular that I almost wordless to describe my feeling and what I have experienced.

Albert Wang, Sept 4, 2004

Excellent!!  I've never experienced this kind of good trip before!  I'll never forget this day.  It will stay with me in my heart until I die.  I truly hope that I can come back here and spend a good time with John and his crew.  Good luck for everyone and this Starlight trip should go on forever!!! 

Lisa Yen, Hong Kong  Oct 21, 2004

We enjoyed going to the caves with our faces almost touching the rocks, and it's a once for life experience to be exposed to the wonder of nature like this.  Our kids enjoyed very much the caves, the scenery in the sea, the lagoon and the canoe paddling.  Food was also great, better than the hotels.

Kinchung Chan, Taiwan Oct. 31, 2004

An exquisite day!  We especially appreciate to see that the guides as well as the guests are encouraged to enjoy and behave quietly in nature.  Refreshing to see in this country that enjoys noise so much!

Kai & Idamaim Arasola Oct 21, 2004

It was such an exciting trip to see the wonder of creation.  The still intact environment (hopefully for a long time) all the animals,corals, etc.  The team was friendly, well trained; we really enjoyed paddling along with then in the canoes!  We enjoyed the good yummy food.  So to sum it up - it will be unforgettable.  Thanks a lot to make our stay in Phuket filled with lovely and amazing memories. 

Thomas & Stefanie, Kuala Lumpur  Oct 14, 2004 (non-stop rain)

The Starlight trip was the most spectacular and memorable experience during our trip to Phuket.  Our guide Saman was not just very kind but also had wide knowledge of the Nature in Phang Nga Bay.

We definitely recommend the trip to our friends back in Japan.  Also, I would like to come again sometime in the future with my darling.  Thank you very much.

Reiko Sone & "Nik Kimoto  Japan, June 15, 2004

Thank you for the best experience of our lives!  Mut and the rest of the staff were fantastic!  This Hong By Starlight experience will always be a highlight and recommended by all.  The food and scenery was fantastic.  Thank you!

Jessie and Narlene, Singapore Sept 2004

Thanks for the great time.  Your staff was very friendly and it was important for us to learn the new world.  We won't forget Phuket and John Gray's Hong By Starlight!

Thanks again,  JH & HJ, Korea  Oct. 31, 2004

It's been a great experience that we joined this tour.  To be honest we were not expecting things more than a sightseeing stuff, but it was way more than that!  Thanks a lot!

Takashi & Yumiko, Osaka, Japan Oct. 30, 2004

A word - "Terrific" Really beyond our imagination.  Starlights impressed me a lot.  Crews are friendly and experienced.  Will join again on my next visit.

P.H. Chen & Lzaya Lu - Kaohsiung, Taiwan  June 3, 2004

Brian Chen, Taiwan, Sept 4, 2004

I have been to many places in this world.  Today's experience was one of the Best!! GREAT!!  Thank you very much for your kind guidance.

Jong, Korea  Oct 22, 2004

* What a great experience!  Thanks for a life time memory!  The caves were excellent and the service was speechless!   The groovy caves were unique in their own way and it would never be called a regret!  Last but not least, thanks for this special arrangement of veggie food - couldn't have been a successful day without that!  This is something we would never forget to mention when talking about our vacation!

Mr. Kamlesh Shah & family, Hong Kong Aug 22, 2004

BEST RESTAURANT OFF PHUKET

WOW!!  The crew was fabulous, the food thanks to the unnamed and not introduced cooks was the best Thai food I've eaten, and the crew was professional ad interesting.  This tour was one of the best I've taken.  Magical.  My only comment would be to include women - even if it is only to introduce the cooks!  Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)  (John - Our policy is to introduce the cooks every trip, but they are very shy and don't like to take a bow, Thank you for this comment because I can show them how important the guests think they are.  I strongly believe in Women's Equality and only wish that Thai pooying could also be paddle guides!)

It's really amazing!  How can we go through a small cave with such a big canoe?  The guide and our canoe driver go out of this world with their paddling skills!   The wonderful supply of fresh fruits and snacks are another credit.  Every time we came back from the caves a plate of fresh fruits are available for everybody.  I also love to have the Thai food for dinner.  Fantastic!  It's tailor-made to suit anyone.  The staff were fun and very knowledgeable.  So everyone will find they get a plate of your favorite dinner!!!   Thank you very much for your nice arrangements.  What a fantastic and memorable trip!!!  

What a great day.  Thanks!!

Richard Adams July 25, 2004

Food was also great, better than the hotels.

Kinchung Chan, Taiwan Oct. 31, 2004

Majestic!  Everything was superb!  The staff was fantastic and gave great service the entire trip.  The lunch was good and the dinner was gourmet and no restaurant could ever match the ambiance.  In addition to the great kayaking into some incredible caves the wildlife and bioluminescence put on a special show.

Kent Bry, Encinitas, CA Aug 3, 2004

A fantastic trip, the guides were very informative and lots of fun.  The food was fabulous.  The floating restaurant 5-Star.  Thanks for a great time.  We will recommend you!!

What a day!  With the best friends and crew I enjoyed the best trip of my life.  Of course, the food on board is the best in Phuket as well.  Memorize forever.

Ruth & Jessie, Australia  Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

GUIDES MAKES THE DIFFERENCE

It was a fantastic trip!  The guide gave us plenty of time to 'sabai' in the tranquility of the hongs.  Great food, and a great experience.  Thanks heaps for such a memorable day! 

Chris & Henning, Germany Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

What a magical day!  From the towering limestone formations to the sparkling bio-tumescence to the lovely people, we enjoyed every minute of our trip.  Thank you!!  We hope to return very soon!  We'll miss your wonderful guides.

RAIN OR SHINE

Dear John, dear friends,

Since yesterday we are back in Switzerland, where the snow has finally come ... the sky is gray and the temperature 6°C .... but our thoughts and our feelings are still in Thailand, where we spend fantastic holiday ... one third "dolce far niente", one third scuba diving and one third hongs and lagunes with Pong, Kate, Bill and a outstanding "chef de cuisine" named Ae.

As you know, my wife and I made almost the same trip with your organization thirteen years ago; We where very curious ( maybe also a bit worried) to see how the region has developed in the meantime. Pong an its crew managed to give to us the impression that we were alone in an almost still untouched nature ... they are not only very professional, but at the same time extremely passionate, warm-hearted, courteous and sensitive ... we had a great time with them. Please convey our deepest thanks and our regards to them.

We will surely spread the experience among our friends ... and, who knows, maybe we will come again one day

best regards
Marco de Stoppani

The ultimate in magical mystery tours.  No words could ever be written to fully express the beauty, serenity and experience!  I have had the privilege of being exposed to.  This will scan my memories for a very very long time - and something I will never forget.  Thank you to John and the whole team for making this such a great day.

Karen, UK Oct 11, 2004 (non-stop rain)

An enchanting memorable excursion.  If you only do one tour, this is the one.  If you do two, do this one twice.  Excellent to see the care and respect given to Nature.  I especially enjoyed the quiet time and the ceremony.

Linda Melbourne Oct 21, 2004

Indeed an experience of a "Life Time".  Our day was made so much more special because of the people who shared their knowledge, good humor and giving nature with us.  A very special big thank you to our tour guide "Ping Pong". (smile face)

David & Jackie, Sydney, Australia Oct 14, 2004 (non-stop rain)

We have only begun to realize the beauty of this world and although we feel as small as the plankton we saw today we are happy that we embarked on this journey that hopefully will lead to insight and understanding of our environment.  Don't forget to send the pictures of MEXICO.

Magnus and Martha (Sweden and Mexico) Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

A real fun trip and despite the rain it was fantastic.  The rain actually created a bit of fun activities as the guides would take the kids through the waterfalls under the tidal overhang.  The starlight hong with the floating candles, fluorescent plankton and fireflies was very relaxing and a thoroughly enjoyable way to end a memorable day.  FANTASTIC!!

Brett, Louise, Alexis & Isaac Tyson  Australia Oct. 6, 2004

It was a wonderful journey.  Great food, magical scenery.  Friendly fascinating guides!  Thank you all.  Even the rain couldn't dampen the spirits - adding to the mystical surroundings.  We will be telling everyone about John gray's magical mystery tour and will be back - and we learned how to get untangled from ropes and make kratongs!

Best wishes, Patrick, Gina, Lancssa, Nadie and Katvina, Queensland Oct. 4, 2004

PUT YOU IN YOUR OWN DOCUMENTARY

Trip was very well organized.  Excellent experience, a must see for someone to visit in Phuket.  The events were very well integrated over the course of the day. Also enjoyed the banana leaf, Kratong was good cultural information to share with all.  Just an excellent experience, food was also great!!

Jim Rezba  US  Oct 14, 2004 (non-stop rain)

We had an incredible time.  We were really excited to see the beauty of all the small islands and the caves.  We enjoyed seeing the bats and especially the monkeys.  But to top off the day the best part was after dinner when we got to go back to the water and put flowers in the lagoon.

Lani Link (Hawai'i)  Oct 11, 2004 (non-stop rain)

I'm glad we did an overnighter with you for the added experience of seeing the monkeys and for eating your delicious breakfast.

'Mama Grace and Papa Richard"  May 11, 2004

A magical experience.  We will never forget Amazing Hongs.  Glistening plankton and incredibly knowledgeable guide in Eddy.  Fantastic crew and a great meal.

Steve and Maria - Oxford, England June 3, 2004

A beautiful experience.  We especially appreciated the kindness, expertise and thoughtfulness of our guide "Moose" (Mut Bong) and all the staff.  Furthermore, the food was excellent.  We will always remember this experience.  The scenery was spectacular and we learned a lot about the ecosystem in this part of the World.  Thank you for haring this beauty with us.

Lee and Micki, Denver, Colorado Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

Thanks for a memorable trip.  I enjoyed the scenic beauty, the variety of activities and the opportunity to have fun as a group.  I really admired "Eddie".  He helped us with Bramany, monitor, mudskipper and fire fly sightings.  He also taught us the Rope snake trick.  Finally, he gave us a fun ride in that "tornado" (water spout).

Thanks, Matt Aujla Sept 22, 2004

Surreal experience.  Very educational.  The guides were very well organized and extremely good at spotting wildlife that we would probably have missed.  John really is a delight.  PS:  Food is great also.

Cheers, Grant & Jenny, Melbourne, (Banyan Tree)  Oct. 11, 2004 (rainy)

This is the trip that everyone to Phuket should do to understand the ecosystem of this area.  The staff is awesome and John (Big Monkey) ensures they are well trained and educated.  The brilliant healthy food and service are a bonus!

Darrell Berg-Smith, Australia  Oct. 31, 2004

This has been the most wonderful, educational, enlightening and beautiful experience for us.  We have even had the whole day we will never ever forget.

We enjoyed going to the caves with our faces almost touching the rocks, and it's a once for life experience to be exposed to the wonder of nature like this.  Our kids enjoyed very much the caves, the scenery in the sea, the lagoon and the canoe paddling.  Food was also great, better than the hotels.

Kinchung Chan, Taiwan

Thanks for the great time.  Your staff was very friendly and it was important for us to learn the new world.  We won't forget Phuket and John Gray's Hong By Starlight!

Fantastic!  Unbelieveable!

The Cavanaugh family, Australia

It was absolutely fantastic.  We were lucky to pick the most experienced and best Sea Canoe trip.  Someone should let tourist know that there are so many different operators and that John Gray's operation is the Best!

Jodi Cross, Australia

Thanks for a great time.  You and your staff did an amazing job.  Everything was top notch from the pick-up, introduction, actual excursion and dinner.  Also great to see someone who is concerned about the environment rather than another fly-by-night tour operator who is just interested in making a quick buck!

Canon Fung Canada

Thank you so much "John Gray's" and Eddie.  You did a great job of showing us the wonderful beauty and nature that Thailand has to offer.  It was a day that we will never forget.  Many great words will be passed on to our friends and family.  Thank you once again.

Howell and Erin, Australia

Wow!  We heard about this through an internet chat room and we were advised that this was the one to do.  After spending an afternoon and evening exploring hongs I will definitely remember this experience - they say once in a lifetime but we will be back!

Mike & Leanne, Perth, WA

Excellent!!  I've never experienced this kind of good trip before!  I'll never forget this day.  It will stay with me in my heart until I die.  I truly hope that I can come back here and spend a good time with John and his crew.  Good luck for everyone and this Starlight trip should go on forever!!!

The crews are all friendly and good guides for caves, and foods are also good soup is so nice.  All good, but one thing of advice.  I suggest is besides caves tours another taste of the site should be newly added.  Two cave spots are enough.

Yoshitaka Matsuo, Japan

(John - Thanks - I will use your quote whenever we can get only two caves.  Almost everybody wants as many caves as we can get in one day!)

Brilliant day!  Our best in Thailand!  The crew was so friendly, Max was a great guide.  The crew was so friendly.  Max has a great sense of humor.  The trip was efficiently run, excellent food and a wonderful day.  Thank you all for making it such a wonderful experience.

A beautiful experience.  We especially appreciated the kindness, expertise and thoughtfulness of our guide "Moose" (Mut Bong) and all the staff.  Furthermore, the food was excellent .  We will always remember this experience.  The scenery was spectacular and we learned a lot about the ecosystem in this part of the World.  Thank you for haring this beauty with us.

Many thanks, Love and light, Nickie, Kent, UK

We had an incredible time.  We were really excited to see the beauty of all the small islands and the caves.  We enjoyed seeing the bats and especially the monkeys.  But to top off the day the best part was after dinner when we got to go back to the water and put flowers in the lagoon.

Lani Link (Hawai'i)

Everything as above, but I want to know how you can make this experience for such a low price - unbelievable value!

Pilar and Ahli Costello (California)

"Absolutely amazing."  The highlight of the trip was the evening hong visit and the special "Loi Kratong".  Our guide Pong was great fun and informative.  Overall an unforgettable experience.  Thank you very much John and keep afloat.  We wish you all the best.

Brian & Charlie, Australia

It was a fantastic trip!  The guide gave us plenty of time to 'Sabai' in the tranquility of the hongs.  Great food, and a great experience.  Thanks heaps for such a memorable day!

Chris & Henning, Germany

We have only begun to realize the beauty of this world and although we feel as small as the plankton we saw today we are happy that we embarked on this journey. that hopefully will lead to insight and understanding of our environment.  Don't forget to send the pictures of MEXICO.

Magnus and Martha (Sweden and Mexico)

WOW!!  The crew was fabulous, the food thanks to the unnamed and not introduced cooks was the best Thai food I've eaten, the crew was professional ad interesting.  This tour was one of the best I've taken.  Magical.  My only comment would be to include women - even if it is only to introduce the cooks!)

(John - Our policy is to introduce the cooks every trip, but they are very shy and don't like to take a bow, Thank you for this comment because I can show them how important the guests think they are.  I strongly believe in Women's Equality and only wish that Thai pooying could also be paddle guides!)

What a day!  With the best friends and crew I enjoyed the best trip of my life.  Of course, the food on board is the best in Phuket as well.  Memorize forever.

Ruth & Jessie, Taiwan

Very well planned, prepared and entertaining.  Quite informative staff.  Good sense of humor, yet constantly aware of safety.  The best food!!! We will be back.

Many thanks Gary & Judy Russ, Ozland

Mr. & Mrs Algan, Egypt

A real fun trip and despite the rain it was fantastic.  The rain actually created a bit of fun activities as the guides would take the kids through the waterfalls under the tidal overhang.  The starlight hong with the floating candles, fluorescent plankton and fireflies was very relaxing and a thoroughly enjoyable way to end a memorable day.  FANTASTIC!!

Brett, Louise, Alexis & Isaac Tyson  Australia

The organization of the trip from go to return was excellent.  John was very entertaining.  The guides did a great job and the food provided was tasty and appetizing.  The highlight for the "day" was the starlight cave trip.  Overall rating 10 out of 10.  Thanks for the experience.

What a way to first set foot in Phuket.  More than I imagined, it's just what I needed to "re-align" my natural senses of nature.  Loi Kratong was both purposeful and magical - a wonderful memory to cherish.  The crew and cooks are superb! And that John guy is OK too!

Awesome!  Marvelous!  We're out of words.  Even claustrophobics love it!  John Gray is like a Cupid and he makes everyone fall in love with Thailand.  Love from the Portuguese group.
