You can expect personalized service, quality and value with PaddleAsia!  We offer expeditions that are tailored to those who want active, safe nature-based adventure.

We offer everything from high energy ocean-based recreation to tranquil float trips. If you are active, you can paddle.  Do you like trekking, biking, rock climbing or swimming? If so, you can learn and enjoy paddling a touring sea kayak. The prerequisites are a sense of curiosity and adventure and you should be an active person.

Ours is a custom learning experience which will heighten your appreciation of the natural world and that is why we use kayaks. Kayaks produce a personal bond between the paddler and the water. The kayak is an extension of your body, more so than a sit-on-top craft or an inflatable boat. As you slip silently across the water, you absorb the water's rhythm. The freedom of movement across the water has been experienced by paddlers for eons.

Outdoor adventure holiday opportunities

 PaddleAsia offers a variety of sea kayaking holiday opportunities for every experience level. We offer trips for novices and experienced kayakers.  The tours are easy and our Khao Sok and Phang Nga Bay trips are in protected waters. We usually paddle about 3 to 5 hours each day. This is flexible. Each trip is tailored to suit the particular trip participants desires. We also offer crossings between islands for the more experienced paddler or enthusiastic novice.

PaddleAsia provides you with high quality traditional sea kayaks and equipment, delightful meals, kayak technique instruction and an overall ecstatic time in paradise. You will learn about the natural world and the efforts to preserve it. We are the only tour operator offering traditional kayak based trips in southern Thailand. Our tour leaders are enthusiastic, experienced professionals with the ability to provide you with a safe and enjoyable experience. Our knowledge of Asia’s rivers, oceans and wildlife, combined with our attention to details, will make your precious vacation time a memorable success.
