Magical! - Magical! As first time kayakers - my son and I were terrible kayakers. We were totally saved by our guide, Gob. He was so patient, kind and helpful and of course ensured we were safe at all times. We watched the sunset, saw the bioluminescent plankton and loads of different types of fish. Some were so excited to see us they jumped into our kayak! Just being out on the water in the night is magical enough but this was something else. Fabulous experience. The whole team at Freebird are warm, friendly and really looked after us. - Thank you.

Amazing Evening-to-Night Kayaking! - Excellent communication, perfectly organized, and such a magical experience! Paddling as the sun set and continuing into the peaceful night was unforgettable. Highly recommend!

Amazing, well worth doing. Get their boat back if staying off railay. - This was amazing. The guides know the water and rocky formations really well and took us on a tour as the sun set through different sites. We went through caves and alleys in the rocks that boats can't get through. As the light faded completely we entered the bioluminesent plankton space and all the lights were turned off. When you agitate the water they sparkle like the stars!! It was wild! There were jumping fish too! The guides safely got us back in pitch blackness, and again through amazing rock caves and channels. They also helped if you were feeling tired. I got their boat back to Ao Nang also which is sensible if staying off Railay as the price goes up from 100baht to 1500baht after 6pm with regular boats! Highly recommended.

Great Experience - This trip was great! I wasn’t sure exactly what to expect, but the plankton was amazing, like glitter in water, quite magical. As a solo traveler I found someone else in the group to paddle the kayak with together, which was great.

Join the magical night experience in Railay! - This was such an epic experience 😍 we joined the night tour, I have never seen anything like this before. Kayaking during night with lights underwater is just so special. We saw a lot of different fishes, bats and bioluminescent plankton. The guides were super kind and gave us a lot of insights about the area. Overall 10/10! You just need to experience this, highly recommend. Also take your phone in a waterproof case, you can get some stunning shots.

Fun experience - The night time kayaking was a great experience and the guides were really lovely - always making sure everyone was doing okay! It was a little confusing at times as to know where to go, as it was difficult to hear/see the guides at certain points. But overall this was a great experience and I would recommend anyone give it a go!

Overpriced, under delivers. - Very disappointed with the tour. I don’t leave poor reviews lightly but be careful when booking. Family of 5 and were unsure due to weather. We were assured it would be fine and that we would see everything. We saw a few specs of plankton and some tiny fish in the lights of the guides. We spent the majority of the time sheltered in the caves due to pending storm. While I enjoyed being out on the water and night, my 2 kids were quite scared of the weather conditions. At close to $350 assume dollars, it was a waste of money.

Would skip this one - The concept of this tour is a great idea, but they had way too many people on this one. With 20-30 kayaks in a group we felt like the whole time was spent herding everyone from point A to point B. All of the kayaks were constantly bumping into each other. Nobody could hear what the instructor was saying, and about halfway through, everyone was extremely eager for it to be over. We saw 0 fish, and could barely see any bioluminescence.
