10/10 Recommend 💯 - Tan was incredible! A very genuine and thoughtful man. The views were beautiful and the area very peaceful. You will not regret booking this tour. He took the time to get to know us, as we did with him. This experience was easily the highlight of our Phuket trip.

Amazing tour. Must try - Tan and his team went above and beyond to accomodate for me and my mum. We had a last min booking and Tan found a perfect beach for beginner SUP. This was the best thing we did during our Phuket trip. Nice and relaxing. Also thanks for the plentiful snacks. Real warm Thai hospitality :) highly recommend.

The Best Tour! - An amazing tour. Tan is incredibly friendly, chatty and energetic. He taught me how to paddle and took care of me throughout the journey. He provided amzing snacks and drinks too. It was by far my favourite tour during my Thailand trip. I will definitely do it again in the future. I highly recommend it!

SUP Phuket - Exceeded expectations - We had a wonderful experience with Tan & Kate. They picked us up promptly at our hotel, and pointed out things of interest during the drive. They provided delicious fresh mangos, and Thai energy bars, aka, tasty sweet rice in a banana leaf. Once on the SPUs, we were guided through the mangroves which are canals of unique tropical coastal vegetation . The water water was very calm and enjoyable to paddle through. Our hosts provided freshly cut open coconuts to drink after! We loved the whole experience.

A perfect day on a paddle. - What a lovely day and a great paddling experience with Tan in the mangroves! I was keen on seeing the jungle in Phuket, but with jungle hikes happening only on Mondays, I was happy to discover Paddle Phuket proposal after pages of advertisements for islands excursions. Given the fact that I am a middle aged (54 year old) beginner, I read the reviews carefully and got confident that Tan was the right person for this introduction to paddling. And he was! Tan is a very safe, methodical, competent and amiable instructor. He takes a maximum of 8 clients if they're experienced, less if not. He had planned a beautiful itinerary going through a wide river, narrow channels entangled with mangroves roots and branches and the glorious scenery of the karst islands in the Phang Nga bay. We saw animals too: lots of fish, aquatic birds, even a sea snake wrapped on a branch. Tan tells me that sometimes macaques swim across. These 2 and a half hours on the water passed like an instant. For competent paddlers, Tan has longer, more technical and demanding outings. Absolutely recommended wether you're looking for peace away from the crowds, or the joy of trying a new sport, or a paddle session with a thorough professional, or glorious scenes from the water. Thanks Tan, I hope to come back one day with my children!

Untrustworthy - My daughter came to Phuket for only a few days and the one thing she wanted to do was stand up paddleboarding.I rang Tan and he was driving so he asked me to message him, so i did, texting and also emailing. He didn't reply so after a day or so my daughter booked us on Tripadvisor. After that Tan email replied and apologised he got confused when speaking to someone else and thought it was us. Fair enough. So we were booked, Tan emailed and asked to chat on phone, we did, all went well, and all was friendly. he organised to pick my daughter up at 7.25am at the hotel and asked me to ride motorbike to meet at a designated area to make it easier for him, then said he'd email more details about what to bring, etc, this was 8 pm the night before. He never emailed the details, so I emailed him an hour later asking what to bring, no reply. My daughter is out front of hotel by herself at 7.15 am eagerly waiting and i ride to Central Phuket where he asked me to be. At 7.30 am daughter rang and says he was not there yet, I said I'll call him. Call 3 times over 30 minutes and no answer, just a message machine, I ask him to call me. Around 8 am my daughter's phone gets a message from Tripadvisor that the booking is canceled. We don't know if that's a mistake so we wait till 8.30 am. Devastated and confused we give up, no call or email from Tan, no apology or reason, nothing, at all ever. My daughter was devastated, and i was extremely annoyed at the disrespect and inconsideration, and abandonment. Tan has never emailed, texted, or phoned since. It would have taken 30 seconds to call us, and he had the number in his phone and in his email. Clearly Tan has more than one personality.
