We have just returned from our holiday in Phuket where we did the "Starlight' tour John Gray's offers, and if you do one tour in Phuket, make sure you do this one! It was absolutely amazing!!! At first when we arrived at our boat we were a bit wary as it was an older style boat, but once you were... more

I cannot put into words how amazing this trip was. The serenity and pure beauty of Phang Nga Bay and its limestone islands are unmatched. But what really made this trip special was the staff. Each couple (or pair of two), get their own guide for the day, who paddles the sea canoe and adds an educational experience by explaining... more

What a special day. The sites were beautiful, the tour guides were fantastic and the food was great! The best part of the "starlight" tour is that when the other tour boats leave mid-afternoon you get the whole place to yourself. They really went out of their way to make it a great day. I highly recommend this company and... more

We (4 adults and 2 children aged 8 and 6) did the Hong By Starlight Tour in May 2008. It was one of the best days of our Phuket holiday and a real highlight, for so many reasons and too many to mention in this forum! I chose John Gray over all the other tour operators offering similar and similarly... more

We went last year in november as my partner had seen it on "getaway" (lifestyle program in oz) around 10 years ago and always wanted to do it. After spending 5months apart (me in china and him in oz) we met up in Phuket and took this tour. It was amazing!! Food was excellent and the service was great. It... more

The descriptions of the trip are adequately described in other reviews - it was so good to have the Hongs to ourselves (as the daylight tours had already left, while this starlight trip heads out in the afternoon) The guides we had were knowledgable (if very softly spoken), and the visit to the hong in the dark was terrific especially... more

We booked this trip after hearing lots of positive feedback and we weren't disappointed. Although more expensive than other trips, it is miles ahead in quality and experience. Compared to the speedboat tour to Phi Phi we did, this is just so much more personal and you don't feel like a mass tourist. Paddling through the caves with my husband... more

After reading several reviews that called John Gray's Sea Canoe a can't-miss excursion, or the best travel value anywhere in the world, we were pleased when the Hong by Starlight tour exceeded our expectations. While it was Monsoon season, we departed in sunlight with 14 tourists aboard, guides (Pong, Golf, etc.) and Mr. John Gray himself. Our group consisted of... more

Although priced about the competition (I think), here is the breakdown: (a) Excellent service (b) Friendly staff/team/kayak guide (c) Awesome location as you get to go inside the limestone islands via little tunnels via kayak (the guide will steer your kayak ie 2 visitors and 1 kayak guide) It was the highlight of my 3 day stay in Phuket. If... more
