Amazing experience! - This experience exceded our expectations. We went on transparent stand-up paddleboards while almost everyone else was in transparent kayaks. The guides were helpful and swimming with the bioluminescent plankton was an amazing experience. Viewing the fish under our kayaks at night was amazing. This was one of the highlights of our vacation.

Amazing time - We had two hour night kayaking tour to see bioilluminisence. The guides are professional, cared all the parties specially the unexperienced one. One person accidently lost his cell phone near the cave. One of the guide dived and found it. We are happy he was able to retrieve his phone. The bioilluminsence is not as bright as the one I had seen at puerto Rico, but still amazing.

BEST EXPERIENCE EVER - This was a 10/10 experience with Lam and his team. I had the time of my life. This added so much to my trip to Thailand and I highly recommend it to all travelers solo, couples and families. This was the experience of a lifetime! Thank you xoxo

Awesome trip - Very cool tour on clear SUP with LED lights to light up the water. Amazing coral and silver fish which jump out of the water onto your board. Bioluminescent plankton is stunning - such a fantastic experience.

Great night time experience in Railway beach - Really really fun! It was my first time paddle boarding and I felt very secure throughout. Lam and the other two guides were extremely nice and helped me a lot because I was by myself. It's great because you go at night and water never gets too deep. We saw jumping fish and bioluminescent plankton!

An incredible experience - This was my second time taking this tour and it was every bit as amazing as it was the first time. The staff is incredibly kind and helpful. They will assure that you will stay safe and have a great time. The views leading up to sunset are stunning. As long as you research the ideal times to view the plankton (light pollution degrades the experience, so closest to a new moon phase would be ideal) you have a great chance of experiencing something truly unique. I highly recommend this tour if visiting Krabi.

Amazing tour! - This tour was amazing. You go out just as the sun sets over the beach. Lam was really friendly and took us through some caves. The lights on the paddle boards are beautiful! Plakton is amazing! A must do!

A good experience and worth doing. - This is a fun way to get out on the water and see things from a different perspective. Some of the lights on the kayaks and boards broke but the tail end charlie headed back to shore and brought replacements and saved the day. We did it on paddle boards but in a bigger group of 8 kayaks and us 3 paddlers we often found ourselves being smashed into by novice paddlers knocking us off our boards so ended up knee paddling for most of it. If I did it again Id just go in a kayak. Once the lights were on fish kept jumping onto our boards or checking us out from underneath quite surreal. Saw quite a variety which was great and some very nice coral. Paddling through a cave was fun. Swishing the water we did see bioluminescence. Room for safety improvement. The guides weren't aware when one of us paddle boarders got knocked off our board in the dark (broken lights so wasn't seen) and this person got left behind. A guide calling out is everyone ok follow me doesn't really cut it n the dark as a group or individual check in. Maybe like we do in caving where it is dark and you cant always see everyone, give people numbers to call out so if a number is missing you know a guest is missing, take it a step further make it fun, teach them their number in Thai. Also no throw rescue line that I could see with the guide. Small improvements to an otherwise enjoyable night out on the water.
