Adventure Travel Kayaking Tours for all ages

Our business and personal lives are concentrate on enjoying the natural world with the minimum impact. We are the only paddling company in the region that is certified to international safety standards! We are certified by several first aid and rescue organizations.

We do offer hiking and trekking as a part of our trips, but our primary means of exploration is on water. We use human-powered kayaks get closer to Mother Nature's delightful ecosystems.

We use modern touring decked sea kayaks. We sit inside these kayaks, not on top. Click here for further information, why we use traditional kayaks. In the interest of providing you with the most comfortable boat for your body size, we have several types of kayaks.

Phang Nga Bay sea kayaking adventure eco tours

In spite of Phang Nga Bay's popularity, it is still fairly easy to go kayaking around certain parts of the bay without seeing other tour groups. PaddleAsia specializes in getting away from other travelers. Our goal is to give you an intimate experience with Nature and to provide you with the best cultural experiences as well. Phang Nga Bay is perfectly suited to offer both.

PaddleAsia is an expedition tour operator, but we do offer day trips in Phang Nga Bay on request.We also offer a mountain biking day trip on Koh Yao Noi in Phang Nga Bay that is suitable for just about everyone. More challenging cycling trips are also available.

We offer an introduction to jungle survival day trip on Phuket too.

Rock Climbing and Mountain Climbing Tours

PaddleAsia offers rock climbing as part of a Phang Nga Bay tour (can be added to your paddling trip) or as something completely separate. There are some wonderful bolted rock climbing routes on Koh Yao Noi and elsewhere in the bay. Traditional climbing and aid climbing is also available.

If you've got an interest in mountain climbing, perhaps with a bit of technical rock climbing added, Khao Sok offers ample opportunities.

Shorter Climbing Trips (Climbing Day Trip from Phuket)

If you have limited time and want to get away for a quick rock climbing day trip or two-day trip, we offer a very nice trip to a small park by Phang Nga Town. There are lots of bolted routes and enough different cliffs to always be able to climb in the shade. If you choose the two-day option, you will spend the night at a nice air-conditioned guesthouse and be treated to some superb Thai cuisine at a riverside restaurant.

If you're already in Phuket or Krabi and need to get away from the crowds, this is the perfect opportunity.

Some trips are easier than other. Our Khao Sok National Park trip is very easy. We spend a lot of time just sitting in our kayaks watching monkeys and birds. Our Phang Nga Bay kayaking trip is another easy trip.

We usually prefer bungalows and guesthouses over camping in the tropics, however we do offer kayaking and camping tours as well. We usually choose our accommodations according to the quality of their restaurant! Comfort, convenience, and great food is our hallmark.

Experience is certainly not necessary for most of our trips; we train beginners and novices during the trip and gear our trips accordingly. Most of our guests haven’t paddled before. Kayaking is an ever-growing and rewarding recreational activity.

Nothing beats sneaking up on wildlife from the convenience of a kayak. You will have experiences in a kayak that you simply can’t by any other means.
