Such an amazing experience. The activities had lots of diversity - so much more than kayaking! Couldn’t recommend it more!!!

A must do when in Thailand

Our family trip with John Gray’s sea canoes was a magical moment in our Thailand travels. Overall a breathtaking experience with spectacular scenery, friendly guides, well run and environmentally culturally connected. John himself was on our boat and shared a few stories. As a Kiwi...More

Do you actually get to go on the beach on the starlight tour? Or are you on the boat/ kayak the whole time?

January 14, 2019|

AnswerShow all 2 answers

We got a good hour on a deserted beach. We could choose to jump off the side of the boat and swim to shore or paddle in on our canoe

I am taking the John Gray your tomorrow and have saved up for a couple of years to buy a decent zoom lenses for my camera, will it be same to take on the trip. Really appreciate advice. Thanks

January 3, 2019|

Answer

Assume there was a typo and you meant 'safe' to take your camera? Definitely safe on the boat. I guess there is always a slight risk if taking it on the canoe simply because of the size of the canoe, getting in/out of it... More

We're just starting our trip planning. We are likely staying in Krabi but are extremely interested in the Hong By Starlight tour. I'm curious about the feasibility of getting to Phuket for the tour, or if pick up in Krabi is possible. Any advice or recommendations is much appreciated!

I would check with your hotel and see if they can arrange a ride.

John Gray's Sea Canoe (6 Replies)

We have booked one tour to Phi Phi with Phuket Sail tours which we did online, however not sure with John Gray's if we need to book prior to being in Phuket? Are prices the same if we book online or via an agent once we get there? We are travelling from 24th June to 7th July and are looking to do the Hongs by Starlight tour. Any suggestions would be great :-)

Is John Gray's Sea Canoe still in operation? (2 Replies)

I've tried to contact them 3 or 4 times over the past month. Both by sending an email and by submitting a trip request on the website. I haven't gotten a response besides an auto response that says we will contact you soon. I was hoping to do the Hongs by Starlight Tour in January.

Hello, I have contacted John Gray directly, I am sure he will get back to you shortly. I am not sure what happened. I do know that a lot of times our emails (Phuket Sail Tours) get sent to people's spam inbox (especially if you have a gmail account). My dad (Captain Mark) just said he saw John on the water only 5 days ago, and that all is good. All the best, Elise
