Hong by Starlight John Gray's Sea Canoe

An exceptional day with the whole team, special thanks to Charly and Nanas who accompanied us on the canoes all day. Meals are delicious and prepared on the boat with extra fresh produce. The caves explored are DE beauty, fauna and flora preserved, with this incredible sensation DE passing as close as possible to the limestone rocks. The offering to the Krathong Sea was a magical and unforgettable moment.

This was hands down one of the most incredible experiences we had in Phuket! The Hong by Starlight tour with John Gray’s Sea Canoe exceeded all expectations. From start to finish, everything was well-organized, relaxing, and magical. Our guide Adam was absolutely phenomenal—funny, knowledgeable, and super attentive. He made us feel safe the entire time and shared so much interesting information about the caves, wildlife, and local culture. His passion for the environment and his job really came through and made the tour even more special. The scenery was breathtaking—the limestone caves, hidden lagoons, and bioluminescent waters at night were like something out of a dream. The food on board was also surprisingly amazing—fresh, flavorful, and with lots of variety. Paddling through the caves at sunset and lighting the krathong under the stars was a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Truly peaceful and spiritual. We can’t recommend this tour enough. If you’re in Phuket, this is a must-do, and if you can request Adam, even better!

This was hands down my favorite part of the trip. Our guide was seriously the best person we could’ve asked for — kind, funny, and incredibly thoughtful. He didn’t just take us on a tour; he brought us to places that felt personal, like hidden gems meant just for us. Every stop felt intentional and full of meaning. He truly went above and beyond to make sure we felt welcome, comfortable, and connected to everything around us. The crew was just as incredible — so kind, knowledgeable, and passionate about sharing the beauty and history of the national park. Their energy made the whole experience unforgettable. And the one meal we shared? It was absolutely perfect. Full of flavor, made with care, and enjoyed in the middle of such peaceful, natural beauty — it felt like a moment out of a dream. Everything about this part of the trip — the views, the people, the atmosphere — reminded me to slow down, take it in, and just be. Truly an experience I’ll never forget.
