“DO NOT MISS THIS OPPORTUNITY. A MAGICAL EXPERIENCE”






The Starlight kayaking tour was one of the best tour experiences I have had and I work in the travel industry. 
Even my 17 and 15 teenage boys loved the whole day.
This was a truly all inclusive KAYAKING tour, no gouging, free DVDS at the end of the day.
GUIDES:
Knowledgeable, charming and cheeky. Charlie (local Thai guide) was our paddle man and had a thorough knowledge of the islands and the ecosystems. John Gray also supports the locals by employing local fisherman.
Throughout the day our local boat guide gave dissertations and running commentaries which were highly informative and sprinkled with humorous anecdotes.
OWNER
John Gray joined our boat and while we paddled around the Islands (not James Bond) he was picking up rubbish that washed up onto the shore, John mentioned that he has collected just under 10.000 bags of rubbish in approx 20 years.
FOOD AND DRINKS.
Fabulous.
Bottled water provided. Iced tea and cordial with meals.
The lunch and dinner was delicious,
Lunch was vegetarian with spring rolls, noodles with egg, salad
Dinner was Tom yum soup chicken or prawn, fresh fish, Prawns, Massaman curry, deep fried chicken and stir fried veggies, noodles, fried rice and fresh fruit. Wow!
The crew provided extra chilli as the meals were made less spicy to cater for western tastes.
Afternoon tea with the yummiest Banana Cake.
SCENERY:
Breathtaking and unique. TpDdlig apund, under and in the islands, Bat cave, Oyster cave and Hong.
WILDLIFE:
We saw monkeys on the islands that weren't aggressive, (their not fed). Mudskippers, sea eagles, hornbills, Hawks and egrets.

The night kayaking Loi Kratong ceremony made it culturally special.

Thanks John and the crew our family including queen Elizabeth ;) will never forget this magical experience.



Nuff said!
We should be number one in this list...

See you on the water, Ling Yai (Thai for 'Big Monkey') AKA John Caveman Gray
