I love this trip. I have done it a few times now & also taken my children when they were younger. John Gray Hong By Starlight is a fantastic experience & highly recommend however this is the first & last time I will book through this site. Luckily for us, our local guide checked our booking before organising our transport to the pier & they had no knowledge of it although we had already paid. The site noted a 500 Thb per person each way for transfer from Khao Lak but once booked, the confirmation email stated 1500 Thb pp each way. Luckily we had a very reliable & helpful guide who took care of it all for us & half the price.

Absolutely fantastic day trip. Stunning scenery and saw wild monkeys. The lagoons, mangroves, and caves were beautiful.
Our guide Adam was so knowledgeable and funny - “The man with the golden paddle” in Hong Island. Brilliant!

Very nice, relaxing trip. Small group (40 people). When you get to the Hongs, the rest of the tourist stream has almost disappeared. Only a few isolated ones remain. The trip was very well planned. There was plenty of very good food from the small buffet (freshly prepared on board). Very tasty! (Lunch, coffee and cake with fruit, dinner and dessert) I can only praise John Gray (the provider in Thailand).

Great experience. Lovely, knowledgeable guides and delicious food. The night time flower ceremony and seeing the glowing plankton was magical. Charlie our guide was a star!

This is the most beautiful excursion that I have ever been on. The staff is extremely professional, and organized. The cook made us some amazing food, and we got to make Krathong's with our canoe guide. We were lucky to have Saman as our canoe guide, he was very kind and allowed us to relax during our canoeing and helped us make the most beautiful Krathong. We will never forget this trip. Thank you Saman!

We had the best time ! Phang Nga Bay is absolutely gorgeous. We also saw plenty of animals.
All the team is very nice and focused on the passengers well being, all is well organized. The food was delicious.
We have plenty of time on the canoe, no rush at all, the guides (one per canoe) take the time for us to plenty enjoy the visit, they explain lots of things, take photos... Our guide was Mussa and we loved our time with him. He was so nice and really did everything for us to have the most special experience. We also laughed a lot with him !
We definitely recommand this tour, totally worth it ! Thanks again to all the team !

A fabulous tour…highlights: canoeing through caves into hidden lagoons, the wonderful experience of being involved as the friendly Thai guides make beautiful Krathongs, set them afloat at dusk, light the candles etc.

This trip was amazing, very well organised, the guides spoke very good English, we had time to swim around the bay near the boat, or have a go on the canoe. The guides were great at pointing things out to us in the caves such as monkeys and fish.
The food was also absolutely incredible, some of the best food we had in Thailand, would recommend this trip to anybody, totally worth the price and an unforgettable experience.

What an excellent trip! Everything from start to finish was well organized, safe and delightful! I get sea sick but on this tour, I didn’t! The boat was excellent and so was the canoe! The entire crew took such good care of me, they remembered my name and kept asking if I was doing OK! Special thanks to Mr Yo and my canoe guide Oopsi. I will never forget this trip - one of the best I’ve ever been on! Stunning sunset! Thanks John Gray!
