Sea Kayaks & Canoe Tours in Thailand

Your canoe glides quietly as you watch in awe at the natural beauty around you. At another time and place you are part of a small group of intrepid adventure seekers paddling the Andaman sea at night. Nothing but moonlight, stars and the natural luminescence of the sea is there to guide you.

Up and down the coast of Southern Thailand, nature's perfection awaits the kayak and canoe. Limestone karsts with stunning grottos. More birds than you could imagine. Monkeys, langur and monitor lizards are your audience. Quiet islands with beautiful beaches seem to beckon. National Parks offer a pristine glimpse at nature that city dweller will never forget.

Kayak or Canoe?

Equipment should fit the touring requirement. Inflatable canoes, sit-on-tops and sea kayaks each have advantages. Inflatables can be packed into remote areas and are especially good for when the current is carrying the craft. Sit-on-tops are maneuverable for caves and grottos; and good for short distances. Sea kayaks are much better for longer distances and in open water. Dave Williams offers an in-depth discussion of kayaks and their advantages ... sea kayaks - Thailand
