    I think this trip is a hidden gem on Koh Yao Yai. Coco is a super engaged and kind guide and the trip around the mangrove is amazing. I really recommend doing this. It gives the best authentic and local feel that you are longing for when visiting tourist destinations like Thailand. Highly recommended ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    My girlfriend and I enjoyed exploring the mangroves by kayak on Koh Yao Yao with Coco very much. Coco is from the island, speaks not only English very well but also some Italian and French. Coco is a very sympathetic dude who loves nature and is very knowledgable about the wildlife and the history of Koh Yao Yai. I can only recommend a tour with him! :) After he picked us up at our hotel in the morning we kayaked through the mangroves at northern yao yai for about 2 hours (Coco took some great photos of us), we took a break and shared a pineapple and cold drinks, then did some further kayaking and enjoyed lunch at his place (his wife cooked for us - food was great!). Ultimately Coco showed us his view point hut he built himself 10 years ago close to his house and explained to us how rubber was made from Kautchuk. During the tour we asked many questions about the island, its history and its people - Coco understood everything perfectly and took his time to answer and explain. Thank you again Coco, see you next time on Koh Yao Yai! :)

    Our experience was awesome, we enjoyed the kayaking and also the immersion in the Thai culture through the great explanations given by Coco. The food at the restaurant was delicious and seeing the monkeys in the forest was a nice surprise. Definitely recommended!

    Mangrove kayaking with Uncle Coco was a very wholesome experience. We took a speedboat (400 baht/person one way) from Bangrong pier to Ko Yao Yai island pier. His package includes pickup & drop off from the Ko Yao Yai island pier, Kayaking, a small trek, lunch at his own restaurant as well as visit to the various scenic beaches on the island. His years of experience definitely shows and he makes you feel very comfortable when kayaking even as a first timer. The kayaking was around 40 mins long and we even spotted some monkeys! It was a very serene experience. The lunch was homely authentic Thai food. He also provides water and fruits. Uncle Coco also showed us some hidden gems around the island where we could capture some wonderful memories. A noteworthy location was a secluded beach all to ourselves. All in all, worth the visit and a must go when in Phuket!

    We had an amazing time on this trip, one of my highlights of our time in Thailand. We just turned up at the restaurant mid morning and were able to go the same day on the tour, it was just me and my partner with Mr Coco and his colleague. The kayaking experience was amazing, Mr Coco was so knowledgeable and answered our questions but also gave us time to appreciate the nature around us. We stopped for a snack, and afters went to the beach for a swim. He then took us to a local fishermans village, showed us the process of making rubber and even took us to his private look out point. At the end we had an amazing meal included in the price - we slept very well that night! I really recommend this trip, Mr Coco says it only does groups up to 6 so it will not be busy. The kayaking is quite demanding but this was only my second time and I managed okay with Mr Cocos guidance. Mr Coco also took some photos of us on his phone and airdropped them to us - what a bonus :D

    Absolutely phenomenal experience. Coco was so friendly and spoke excellent English. He made the trip for us, it’s so nice to see a man who utterly loves his job. He showed us spiders in his garden, walked us up to a view point and showed us how rubber is harvested from the trees. We then went out on a kayak trip through the mangroves, he was amazing at explaining everything to us. We saw monkeys, lizards, and a King Cobra! After the mangroves, Coco drove us to a beach to watch the sunset and swim. We had a short trip in the late afternoon because of low tide during the day but it was by far in a way the best experience we’ve had in Thailand, could not recommend more highly.

    Rarely you meet a man who truly loves what he does. Coco cares for animals, humans and environment alike. We had such an authentic experience! The kayaking experience was so cool! Challenging and fun! When we got back to the starting point at the restaurant there was a feast waiting for us. Probably one of the best days of my life ❤️

👍👍 We have been there two times during our stay. The hosts are extremely friendly and welcoming. On our first visit we both had the Panang curry, one with chicken and one with vegetables. Both dishes were great except that there was no vegetables in the chicken curry at all which was a pity. The taste...
