During a 1989 sea caving expedition, we found Phang Nga Bay 's Hongs and Tidal Sea Caves and invented the Tidal Technology that allows us to enter tidal caves by sea kayak.
Our guides speak many languages and are trained to Western standards. We hold full public liability insurance with the AIG Insurance Company.
To enhance your day's experience, SeaCanoe plays " The Nature Guide ", a fun activity that gives you added value for your time and money. The game fills slow times during van and boat transfers, answers your natural history questions, and (hopefully) wins you a SeaCanoe video at the end of the day - a US$30 value.
Each day changes according to the tides, but this is a typical itinerary.

During the day, you will travel on our comfortable escort boat, fully staffed escort boat 'Urida'. Our trips have a staff to guest ratio of nearly 1:1. From the escort boat, our guides paddle into Phang Nga bay's caves, Hongs, and stunning islands with only two guests in each custom-designed kayak.
Throughout the day we serve fresh fruit, tea, brewed coffee and as many soft drinks as you can consume! Lunch is a delight. We pride ourselves on guest logbook entries like "The best meal of my Thai vacation." To quote the Tourism Authority of Thailand, we offer a "superb seafood lunch." We cater for vegetarians and non-fish eaters if you let us know the day before the trip.
