This trip was well organized, relaxing, and fun. The caves are really beautiful. Sonny was a very experienced, fantastic guide.
If you can only do one trip...

Highlight of our trip. Honestly never seen such beautiful sights. Choose this instead of the mass tourist boat experiences.
An awesome experience <3

This trip was SOOO awesome, easily one of the best things I did in Thailand. My parents (aged 60+) accompanied me on this trip and they had a blast! The guides were so nice and addressed my parents as "Mama" and "Papa" (so cute, haha!) throughout the trip. They made sure my parents felt fully safe and had fun!
If you're having second thoughts about it, DON'T. This is worth every penny spent! I could keep talking about how wonderful it all was, but it's best experienced. Go ahead and book this trip, you will not regret it. :)
Wonderful

Dorn was our guide and he was great. I was so nervous going through the cave but he was patient with me and made me feel very comfortable and safe. Such a great experience for us.
A mystical experience....

A mystical experience. John Gray has written the blueprint on how sustainable tourism should be done. Best organized day trip on holiday in my life.
Amazing! Group tour made to feel personal!

Amazing tour from start to finish. Our guide, Baw, made the group tour feel like a personal one. Every one involved in the tour was fantastic.
Amazing experience

We were lucky to have perfect weather and tides for this trip.
The big boat trip to pang nga was comfortable and enjoyable. We received a thorough safety briefing and met our own personal guide for the kayak. Kayaking through the caves were fun, and when the occasional tight squeeze presented itself, the crew handled it like the experts they are.
Lunch, snacks and dinner were all wonderful. There was more than enough food for everyone to dish multiple times and they did a lot of effort to consider all the special dietary requirements on-board.
Our guide, Ong, was friendly, enthusiastic and answered all our questions. He did a lot of extra effort. He got out of the kayak into the water a few times to take pictures of us, he strategically took us to specific spots first so we could see with no other kayaks there and he went right to the back darkest corner of the cave so be could properly experience the bioilluminescent plankton. Ong made our experience all the more enjoyable and we are very thankful for him.
The plankton in the cave was an absolute highlight. I would recommend this trip to anyone. It's a once in a lifetime experience.

Service - the whole team on the boat (huge team because 1 driver per 2 guests) was very service oriented, made sure the boat stayed clean the whole time, each and everyone helped out with setting up the buffet etc. > really well organized.
Guides - the guides were in a good mood and entertained the people in a good way. They played with the kids and during the Kajak tours they have interesting informations.
Experience - the Kajak tours through the caves and around the islands were amazing! Also the preparing of the little flower boats and letting them go in the water was a beautiful ceremony which we will remember forever.
Food - wow!!! Never ever have we thought to get such amazing quality food on a boat trip! Lunch was lite and veggie but sooo good and dinner was even better. Thanks to the two chefs downstairs.
Organization - everything from Start to end was very well organized. Not a single moment I had the feeling something went not as planned.
Very well done! I can only recommend this beautiful experience !
Incredible experience. One to not miss.

Our tour guide Term was fantastic. Became our little photographer and guide for the day. Although caves can be quite the squeeze and very dark, we felt safe and thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Food was delicious with plenty to go round. Saw some incredible views with the bioluminescent plankton at the end of the tour a great finish.
Amazing experience - a...

We were so happy and grateful that we picked this unique tour. It is different from the common tourist experience. They were very well organised and you are paired with your personal canoe guide/ rower. We were lucky to get a guide (Charlie) who could speak good English, funny and has lots of experience as he grew up in area. He also assisted to support the other canoes which has guide who was unable to speak much English. We were happy with that as it enabled us to enjoy the experience with the other guests. The food provided were great especially dinner which was a feast. Overall, it was a great tour by a fantastic team of staff.

This experience couldn't be improved. After I misunderstood where to meet the company worked hard to find my location. We were driven across the island and got checked in. The boat was nice sized and pretty stable on the water. No sea sickness. The staff has a great sense of humor and spends time making sure everyone knows what to expect. We were paired with a guide, T, and he did all the rowing so it was quite relaxing. We went through caves and lagoons and bioluminesence. The food was delicious.
Truly amazing day
