Our tour guide, whose name is pronounced like “Oui,” but the spelling of which is a mystery to me, was absolutely fantastic. So fun to get to know her! The tour was really detail oriented, both “Oui” and the gondola captain showed us various features of the mangroves, the different kinds of birds, even which fisherman were out that morning! They also pointed out the fluorescent blue plankton, which were visible in the swirling water around the oars. The sunrise itself was obscured by clouds but it was still peaceful and beautiful out on the water. “Oui” provided coffee and breakfast (homemade by her mom!), which consisted of some rice snacks with dried fish as well as some sweet treats with pandan and coconut. We even got the chance to row the gondola, which was so funny (and really hard!) My husband and I had such a good time. It was romantic but mostly it was just really fun to meet Oui and the captain and hang out with them for a while. Thank you again for everything!

Cannot recommend this tour enough, a truly unique experience. Wi is a wonderful person and getting to know her and learning about her culture was a highlight of my trip to Thailand. This tour felt so special and intimate, we were the only ones on the water other than one fisherman. Breakfast and coffee were delicious. We even got to wrap up a breakfast and throw it to a monkey for him to enjoy. Really appreciated the peacefulness on the water. 10/10 you will not be disappointed.

A wonderful experience the peace and tranquillity was surreal. Our guide Wi was amazing and told us all about the local area. We were served coffee and breakfast which was lovely. We would 100% recommend this tour.

A super nice experience to be paddled without the stress and noise of engines and the sunrise, very relaxed guide and a wonderful natural spectacle

Top !! We had the joy of having a great Ching guide and of being able to approach the monkeys so closely. A great time
