Hong by Starlight
This was a highlight from my trip in 1999 and l was so pleased that this company is still in operation all these years later. They are obviously doing something right.
We were picked up as pre arranged in a comfy vehicle and transported to the port. The boat had life jackets and included a safety briefing. We travelled via calm seas to our first canoeing destination where we were paired with a member of crew (they also employ local fisher village people who meet at first canoeing point which is great). We were lucky to be matched with Naan, he always ensured we went to the best places, pointed out places of interest, he really looked after us throughout the day including taking photos for us. He was lots of fun.
We went to multiple destinations, including a glimpse of James Bond Island, it was pretty busy so only saw from a distance but we were ok with that. We had some free time where we could either canoe without our guide, or swim off the boat.
In the afternoon, with Naan assistance and guidance we made kratong which after dinner we completed a Loi Kratong ceremony which was really nice finished off with seeing the bioluminescent plankton which was really special.
Meals on board were plentiful, a great variety and very tasty. You can purchase snacks and drinks onboard including alcoholic beverages.
We had the best day, I would highly recommend it, and thanks to Naan for being an awesome guide.

James Bond, Glowing Plankton
Crew was wonderful, food was ok, about what is expected on a small boat feeding 20-30 people. Cave tours were great 1.5 hours caves located close to each other so after the first 2-3 hours visiting the caves your done, now your sitting on the boat so the rest I could have done without. The swimming 15 minutes, making the offerings 45 minutes, plankton was not seen, some times it there today no, thats something they cant help. So tour could have been 3-4 hours not 8.

Great staff, great food, excellent tour! I've never experienced anything like this!
From the moment I got on the boat it felt like paradise! We were taken to a beautiful cove where our expert guide assisted us onto a raft like kayak. From there he paddled us inside multiple caves and all around the massive limestone cliffs. We saw monkeys, bats, lizards, and many different bird species. We were served the most amazing lunch and then taken to James Bond Island for iconic photos all expertly taken on our cell phone by our guide. We left with full bellies and amazing images of an unforgettable experience! Highly recommend!!

Highlight of my trip to Thailand!
This private experience was the highlight of my trip to Thailand. It was pure magic to have a private ship take us out into the isles of Phuket and then take us on sea canoes to explore the caves. We saw monkeys and bats and beautiful views. The lunch was amazing! The whole team was fantastic. The trip to James Bond Island was great. And nothing can compare to swimming in the middle of the sea.
It was a perfect experience. Highly recommend this company!

Highlight of trip to Thailand
This full day excursion was the highlight of my Thailand trip. First, the staff members on the boat were professional, courteous, and playful. They were engaged with the group from dancing to our playlists to creating whimsical flowers & hearts from pieces of nature. Most of all, they were experienced guides, steering us through the tight spaces of the caves. To think much about this excursion would definitely instill fear, but they made travelers feel safe because they confidently maneuvered through the waters, taking time to point out rock formations & animals, and even getting out of the canoe to take pictures. The other part that made this trip enjoyable was the hospitality on board the boat. In a small galley kitchen two cooked prepared the most amazing meal - a huge spread! Highly recommend this tour!

So Friendly, Incredible tour
I saw the glowing reviews and it really was a once in a lifetime trip! I can’t believe how incredible the food was, they also know the waters so well and navigate it all. They paddle the long rubber kayaks for you but some asked to paddle too if you prefer!
They made each experience pretty special and we LOVED Toy, our guide, who really went the extra mile to make it special for our first trip to Phuket.
I felt like we were all friends by the end!

This was SUCH a fun tour and experience! The crew is fantastic and they take great care of you, we had a blast playing in the water, exploring the island and caves, so many fun things to do. And we LOVED Armeen!! The whole crew is wonderful, Armeen was especially a trooper and we had a blast with him :) Classic Armeen! The lunch they made was incredibly delicious and way nicer than we expected on board a boat. This was a highlight of the entire Thailand trip for all of us, I highly recommend this tour.
