Thailand ecotourism travel and wildlife tour

Ecotourism is the current 'buzz' word for many travelers. What is ecotourism?  For PaddleAsia, it means touring with the utmost appreciation for the environment with the highest concern for its preservation.

Explore the magic of southern Thailand's wildlife and natural wonders by gliding through the jungles and coastlines on one of our canoe eco tours. You can also tailer your wildlife-spotting tour.

We offer programs that allow you to intimately experience the wildlife, birds, orchids and the jungle of Southeast Asia from the comfort and convenience of a traditional canoe. The peace and tranquility of a canoe is the absolute best way to experience the waters of Thailand's national parks. Check out our recent bird sightings page.

We specialize in tours to all of the best destinations in Southern Thailand, including Phang Nga Bay and Khao Sok National Park The abundance and variety of wildlife there is truly amazing. In addition to paddling tours in Khao Sok, you can go rock climbing, mountain climbing, birding and hiking. There are trails of every degree of difficulty.

The small world in Khao Sok is also very appealing. A wide array of small to minute plants and animals thrive in the thick verdant jungle of the park. If you like lizards, you’ll love this place. Flower and fungi of all sizes reside throughout the region. Basically, it’s a dream for macro photographers or fans of the smaller world of wonders.

PaddleAsia eco tours are designed for first-timers and beginners.  No experience is necessary. We have a variety of canoes to suit all body sizes.  Our goal is to maximize your comfort.  We also have two-person canoes for those who are not sure if they can paddle on their own.  

If you enjoy trekking, you owe it to yourself to give canoeing a try. You could take any trail in any woodland or mountain in S E Asia and have a fair chance of seeing wildlife. Then again, you could also paddle a canoe and see things up close without having to be concerned about leeches, snakes, spiders, and the other aspects of land-based nature appreciation. PaddleAsia offers trekking trips in Khao Sok National Park and Phang Nga Province. We appreciate the small world and the best way to experience it is on foot. The insect world in Thailand is extremely interesting. Combination canoeing and trekking offers you the best chance of seeing both the big stuff and the little stuff. It's all available in Southern Thailand.

PaddleAsia also offers cycling trips in Phang Nga Province. These trips are designed for both experience mountain bikers as well as first-timers. This area gets almost no tourism, so it's a journey into authentic rural Thai village life.

If you have limited time, but still want to experience the best mountain biking available in Phuket. We offer half-day and full-day Phuket mountain biking trips.
