Mangroves SUP Tour Phuket
» Phuket » Phuket » Phuket
With Paddle Phuket you get to see a side of Phuket that not many tourists get to see. Tan is a very personable guide and enjoys sharing details of his culture and history with guests, often stopping along the way to explain farming techniques or points of interest. The tours are very flexible and Tan is great at tailoring the trip to the customers preference, rather than following a set itinerary. Get out and about amongst nature, try something new and have special memories to take home from your holiday!

A unique and epic Phang Nga experience
seb069, 22-08-2022
We went with Tan on a 1-day SUP tour to Phang Nga bay and it was epic - SUP is a great way to explore these limestone and karst islands. We took off in a small and remote village, paddled for hours around the impressive giant limestone rocks, went into the mangroves (where we saw eagles and kingfishers) and returned to our starting point where we had a tasty lunch in a local restaurant. On our way back, we stopped at a viewpoint (getting up the hill was almost an adventure in itself) overseeing the whole bay. We (as SUP enthusiasts) enjoyed this trip so much: the breathtaking views, the good workout and Tan as a passionate and knowledgeable SUP guide!
An Insiders Paddle Adventure

What an awesome standup paddleboarding adventure! Starting in Karon, Tan picked us up, stopped for some tasty Thai treats, and drove us up to Layan Beach while giving some great local insight into the different areas of Phuket. Even better was how cheerful, enthusiastic, and laidback Tan was as he guided us on a beautiful day to Banana Beach. Always willing to help and share stories, paddleboarding with Tan is like going out with any other one of your friends and that makes the clear waters and beautiful sights that much better. Thanks again Tan for a great trip and some tasty snacks and good conversation! Definitely recommend!
An excellent SUP tour in Phuket

This was a half day SUP tour with Tan starting out from Layan Beach and ended by Banana Beach. Tan was enthusiastic, informative and took us around the little-known nooks and crannies in the areas around Layan and Banana beaches.
This is a great way to see the beautiful beaches of Phuket and thanks to Tan who was so kind, personable and accommodating during the whole trip that made it really memorable.

Tan was a fantastic guide who taught us the basics of SUP within 5 minutes and we could pick it up even as first timers! The setting was also beautiful, super tranquil with absolutely no other tourist in sight and you get to see bits of local life. Highly recommend for an authentic Phuket experience!
Best way to spend your day at Phang Nga Bay!

First of all: Thank you Tan! Tan is the chief, organiser, driver and tourguide of PaddlePhuket and always with a smile. He let us (partner and me) spend our best trip and even best day in Phuket. Trip: full day SUP at Phang Nga Bay / Mangroves, with Pick-up & Drop-off, great equipement, snacks, street-food, droll chats, fruit - drinks and ice on sup, delicious supper, brilliant photos and a breathtaking scenery at the mangroves: a perfect day!
One of very few trips I would repeat in my life.
See you again!

Tan was an excellent tour guide! We booked a sunset tour for 2 pax. It was our first time doing SUP and Tan was extremely patient and told us to just relax and enjoy. We stopped at a small island and stayed on the rocks and ended looking for oysters! What an amazing experience. Tan was a tour guide who would go out of his way to ensure our safety and comfort. I would highly recommend anyone looking to do some relaxing paddle to look for Tan.
A must do in Phuket

Paddle boarding with Tan was my favorite tour from my Thailand trip. We did the half-day mangroves tour. Started the day with a picked up from our hotel. We stopped along the way to pick up some snacks and amazing chicken, before heading to a small fishing village. I had never paddle boarded before, but Tan had me feeling confident and ready to go in minutes. Tan is a very knowledgeable, passionate, and friendly guide. If you want a fun adventure, in beautiful scenery without other tourists this is the trip for you.
