What to expect

Itinerary
This is a typical itinerary for this product

Stop At: John Gray's Sea Canoe, Phuket Town, Phuket 83000 Thailand

Enjoy an afternoon of sea cave exploring literally inside Phang Nga Bay’s marine geology, - including the caves and hidden lagoons John Gray found in 1989. Great nature and wildlife surrounds you.

Our World Famous Entry Trip starts mid-day to avoid the crowds, customized transfers included. Don’t eat lunch – we serve you on board of our comfortable support boat. After lunch, briefing and a raptor show, a professional guide paddles you through Phang Nga Bay’s “Tidal Nape Sea Caves” in our custom designed kayaks hand-made in Oregon by SOTAR, the World’s premier white water raft manufacturer. The unique experience is dramatic, but Caveman’s SOTAR custom kayaks are specially designed for your trip. We’ve never capsized, punctured or had an accident.

After a detailed briefing, your professional guide paddles you and your partner through “Tidal Nape” Sea Caves literally 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, mudskippers, egrets, Sea Eagles and Brahminy Kites.

We finish after dark by floating your own self-made flower “Kratong” in a spiritual and spectacular Natural light show. Eating our delicious seafood-vegan buffet on the trip back, you return to the pier two hours after sunset.

Duration: 10 hours

This whole experience is amazing! From the information, what we were shown, the food and our personal canoe paddler - it’s worth every penny. If you’re looking for a good day trip out exploring and seeing some breathtaking lagoons, this is it!

This day trip was an absolute highlight for us. It was incredible. The trip starts with a private car picking you up from your hotel, dropping you at a souvenir shop by the dock. Once everyone arrived we were split into 2 groups (40 in each) and driven to the boat. The boats were spacious and nic...

My family and I loved our time with John Gray’s crew. Their organisation and helpfulness was second to none and the food was some of the best we had during our Thailand stay. Worth every penny, can not recommend enough.

Everyone was amazing! Lots of things to do and plenty to eat. Love the thankful ceremony at the end- felt very spiritual. On the flip side- I would have bought some warm clothes to change into had I known it would be dark before we returned.
