Traveler Tips

Bring lots of extra clothes and wear water shoes because there are tons of sharp rocks.

Pay the extra cost, as the other excursions to islands like Phi Phi are very touristic and are jam packed.

This is a don’t miss excursion that is worth every penny!

Some days you never want to end, today was one of them, perfect in every way. If there is only one thing you do whilst you are in Phuket book this tour. If I could give it ten stars I would. Thank you John Gray and all of your team for a once in a lifetime marine adventure...

John Gray's Sea Cave Kayaking

David_J, Feb 2020

Our John Gray experience was amazing. We had a personal paddler for our kayak tour. He paddled us around and through the caves on 3 separate occasions and we saw unbelievable sites in the caves. It was a fun filled day. The lunch and dinner were delicious. It was great fun making our own float and lighting it and setting it assail in the early evening.

Fabulous day

stuartmoira, Feb 2020

We only had time for one trip while in Phuket and were so glad we picked this one. Before we boarded, we were told that there was an ice box available if we wanted to buy soft drinks/ beers to take with us, although cold water was available on board. Lunch and cold drinks were served after the safety briefing and it was very tasty, and plenty for everyone. Our guide on the canoe took good care of us and pointed out lots of interesting features that we would have missed if on our own. On the trip between the different islands, coffee tea and cakes were served. After our last island, dinner was served and it was amazing, better than some restaurants we ate in. We watched the sun set and then back into our canoe for the last time to float our Kratong before heading back to the pier and our taxi to the hotel. Overall a great day and lots of happy memories.
