BY FAR THE BEST THING WE DID IN THAILAND 🇹🇭

5.00We had an amazing time and experience, Paddle Asia and the guide Mr Run was friendly, knowledgeable, and passionate in the way he goes about his business. The day was faultless from hotel pickup to the moment we were dropped back off. My partner was a little apprehensive as she'd never been in a kayak before but Mr Run put her at ease instantly, and she was practically a professional by the end of the day 😅. We went at our own pace and were able to stop for photos as often as we liked. Lunch was provided on our very own secluded beach, rice, curry, fish and vegetables, and tea and coffee, all very nice. Water is provided throughout the day, and Mr Run makes sure that you are well hydrated. This was our penultimate day in Thailand and by far the best thing we have done. I cant recommend it enough!!
The best activity in Phuket.

5.00The best experience in Phuket! I loved seeing the different islands, the views were breathtaking, and having lunch on a random beach on the island was such a cool experience. Everything about it was 10/10 and an experience I will always remember. Be prepared for a long boat journey out to the islands however but so worth it. The staff are lovely too.

5.00I was nervous booking this trip for our extended family of 5(including my 80 year old somewhat active mother & 23 year old niece who is not very outdoorsy). In addition it was raining a LOT. Dave reassured me throughout that we could go at our own pace and he was right. The scenery was simply gorgeous!! Kayaking in the lagoon/mangroves was amazing/so unique! The afternoon kayak trip was challenging so it was good the 2 of them sat it out, but was a good feeling to have kayaked in the difficult wind/waves! Our guide was so cheerful and fun to be around- thank you for organizing such a great day.
Fun off-the-beaten-path adventure!

5.00Run is a fantastic guide!! He did a good job of adapting the tour to our ability level and is very knowledgeable about the islands and the creatures we saw. He is very experienced, and it shows. All people we interacted with were very punctual, prepared, and polite. All logistics, including hotel transfer, were figured out for us, which helped us focus on having a good time. Prepared lunch was very good. This tour (2-day trip) was everything we hoped for, but probably not suited for absolute beginners. We were very satisfied with the balance between safety and sense of adventure.
100% worth coming

5.00I booked two day sea kayaking trip - booking and payment process were easy and the trip itself was great! I've never did kayaking before, Mr. Run considered that and let me paddle in my tempo. Views and nature there are fascinating, photos cannot describe it to its fullest, you should go and see yourself :)
Our vacation favourite, absolutely stunning

Kph Yao Noi two day kayak trip

5.00We did a two day kayak trip with Paddle Asia, day one exploring the lesser visited limestone karsts and small coves and beaches just north of Koh Yao Noi including a surprise visit into an hidden lagoon where all we could hear was the oysters popping closed, and we could see monkey foot marks in the sand. The second day visited remote mangrove lined gorges in the north of the bay well off the beaten path with stunning scenery, we saw nobody apart from distant fishing boats and the sense of peace was wonderful. Our guide was knowledgeable and informative, but also allowed us the freedom to paddle at our own speed and gave us space to enjoy such a special place. He also had a genuine love of his home area and was concerned about threats such as plastic pollution, it was great to see a company happy to pick up rubbish from the beaches we visited and who provided the lovely lunches in reusable containers no throw away plastic which is such a huge problem in Asia. Koh Yao Noi is a lovely island with genuinely friendly people, I would highly recommend a stay if you re visiting the area.
The most amazing experience. And we had a teenager with us. She loved the experience.

5.00What an amazing experience. Can't even believe how lucky we got. Normally when I plan a trip my 1st focus is on Kayaking. When I found Paddle Asia website I knew this was for us. We were pretty much out there in the Bay with nobody but the Jelly Fish. Our guides were amazing, kind and friendly. The beach location for our lunch were perfect. We had the beach to ourselves. Spectacular...Thank you.

4.00Beautiful Yao Yai, such a relief after the hustle and bustle of Phuket. Lovely and quiet, beautiful beaches, best on the south west. Lots of small restaurants or vendors. You definitely need a motorbike to get around, but the roads are quiet, so it’s fine. We did the trip on the long tail boat out to some more islands, it was fine but we were takes to some quite crowded spots and much prefer the quiet location of Yao Yai. There are a few big 5* hotels which by all accounts are great but really large. We stayed in a fab boutique hotel called Yao Bada Badoo, which I thoroughly recommend.
Wonderful kayaking experience

5.00We just did a one-day sea kayak with Paddle Asia at Phang Nga Bay (Ko Yao Noi). We chose Paddle Asia after reading the reviews - they are all accurate. Dave is responsive and the team is truly professional, on time and highly respectful. We love that the kayaking took us to quiet islands, into caves and lagoons. We felt totally safe with the support long tail boat that followed us. Thank you for a wonderful time.
