2010 Scheduled Tours

This is a list of our available sea kayaking and other tours. You can join these kayaking trips or we can run a separate trip for you. We can run most trips with as few as two people. If you don't see what you want here, just drop us an email and let us know what you want.  We'll do our best to make it happen! 

We don't just do scheduled kayaking and other trips.

Note: due to mass tourism, we're unfortunately saying goodbye to Trang and Tarutao. Sorry you missed both of these destinations back in the 'good old days'. They will be missed. We may still offer some Trang trips during the low season for experienced paddlers only. The thundering masses aren't there during the low season. The islands are still very attractive, the water is still very clear and it's well-worth visiting during the summer months...but only if you like to paddle long distances in potentially bumpy seas.

PaddleAsia, where price meets quality

We have a fleet of very high quality traditional decked kayaks. We don't use cheap Ocean Kayak (brand name) or FeelFree sit-on-top boats like our competitors. We are real kayakers - we use real kayaks. Our kayaks are imported into Thailand, so in addition to the high price of quality kayaks, we have to deal with steep duty fees. And, in order to have enough boats to be able to fit each tour guest with a kayak that suits her/his body size, we have to have a large variety of styles and sizes. Our paddles are also high quality.

Even if you've never paddled a real kayak, you can paddle one of these. Our kayaks are more stable than most sit-on-tops and they are infinitely more efficient, meaning you don't have to paddle as hard as you would in a sit-on-top.

We are an expedition company. We don't do day trips except on request. Therefore, we don't have daily income. It would be considered 'selling out' if we resorted to running a day trip just so we'd have steady money coming in. Doing the same thing day after day gets to you after a while. Enthusiasm naturally dwindles. It becomes a 'job' and that's a bad word at PaddleAsia!

We spend a lot of time and money on guide training and certification. PaddleAsia guides are trained to international standards and actually have proof of certification. First Aid training from local hospitals is certainly useful, but can't compare to the more comprehensive internationally recognized progams that our guides go through, especially the courses that are focused on outdoor-specific training. And, absolutely nothing can compare to the amount of experience we all have.

We are constantly looking for ways to be the best guides in the Kingdom.
