"This amazing trip out to the limestone caves and hong and a close-up view
of the monkeys has been a marvelous experience of my life! I reviewed some
comments and views from other tourists and what they'e said has been proven
true. It's indeed more of the most romantic experiences that my boyfriend
and I have gone through. The food was delicious and the guides were great.
If given the chance I would love to experience this once in a lifetime
adventure again. It's said that time flies and we cannot wait to go back to
these islands. We've taken photographs and if we ever look back at it, the
beautiful memories wil be in our minds forever. Thank You!!!

"Two days and one might of a very memorable experience. Great food, and fun,
experienced guides who are good paddlers. A beautiful "souvenir".

Self-Paddle Trips are for:
John Gray (ACA Coastal Kayaking Instructor, 1988) personally designs
paddle plans of 3 days or more
Dazzle your mind by combining the "Hong By Starlight" caving escort boat
trip with overnight beach camping and self-paddle sea kayaking through South
Thailand's exotic marine limestone. Both sides of the Bay are completely
different. A "Caves and Hongs" theme in guided inflatable rules the first
day, while the following days are what one guest called "Better than an Ice
Cream shop - There's Six Different Flavors Each Day".
The only way we can run this trip at this price is by taking you to the Bay
on our Starlight trip on your first day. You definitely want to experience
"Thailand's Best Experience" anyway! Our Mini-Expedition and "Wings" fast
longtail overnighters run as their own separate self-contained trips
3 or 4 day self-paddle trips stay in the heart of Phang Nga Bay.
5-6-7 Day Trips do take a longtail transfer to the Krabi side.
Guest comments include "My best trip in twenty years in Thailand",
"Definitely our Honeymoon Highlight", "Better than Alaska", etc. but don't
believe us, just check out our guest comments log.
Depart Phuket at mid-day (Starlight trip) on Day One and return to Phuket or
Krabi.
