Speedboat Tours

The awesome thing about travelling by speedboat, is that you get to see a lot more! Although it's a bit more expensive than a normal boat tour, you get better value for money. You travel in smaller groups, visit places when the crowds have left, and often see places where the main tours don't visit. See the Speedboat Tours available...

Sea Kayaking and Canoeing from Phuket

An ideal way to see the region's natural sights is on a sea kayak - a quiet, eco-friendly way to travel that affords the visitor the chance to squeeze into beautiful spots that can't be reached by boat. A paddle through a cave into a limestone rock "hong" is often the most unforgettable part of any trip, but the sights and sounds of birds and wildlife are equally amazing.
