PaddleAsia Mission Statement

PaddleAsia delivers the highest quality outdoor experiences, achieved through the education and safety of our guests, respect and preservation of our environment, personal growth of our staff and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

PaddleAsia was developed as a result of seeing what was happening in the various existing kayaking companies in Phuket and Krabi. Being a life-long naturalist, I (Dave) felt that there was a definite niche that needed to be filled.

The kayaking in Southern Thailand was all about the day trip and getting as many guests on trips as possible. Where could you go if you wanted a unique experience with nature? Some companies offered overnight trips, but they weren't up to speed on their natural history knowledge or paddling skills.

PaddleAsia focuses on quality, the same level of quality that you'll find on top tours anywhere in the world. Our mission is to

Besides offering high quality tours to our guests, PaddleAsia is attempting to show the government and other tour operators that they don't have to compromise their environmental ethics in order to have a viable business. Another goal is to provide our Thai staff with personal growth opportunities with the full understanding that the protection of Thailand's remaining natural wonders in paramount for the future of the Kingdom.

Kayaking Day Trips

No matter how beautiful a kayaking destination is, if the guides do it day after day they'll get tired of it. That boredom will reflect in how they run the trip.

We are not in the day trip business for that very reason. Sure, we'll run a day trip from time to time, but that's not the focus of our attention. We are an expedition company and we are the best at what we do... period.
