Back again for a second cruise on 19th June 2009; this time with a pair of couples from UK. Up the river again, looking for the monkeys. But they were snoozing (or maybe in church) despite the calling whistle. Moored the boat far upstream so I could take the Tri-yak out for a paddle with crewlady "Luck" up a local... more

We traveled in Thailand in February 2009. Gordon and Sparky of River Rovers were hospitable, knowledgeable and loads of fun! We were 2 of 6 guests on his boat that day and it felt like a semi-private tour. The boat ride is tranquil, the scenery is sublime. We had an abundance of food and drink while on the boat and... more

We had another delightful day on board Captain Gordon's river boat, where we cruised up the river and round Chalong Bay. We visited the fish farm in the mddle of the bay, picked out out live fish for lunch, prepared and cooked by the fish farm owner's wife who was most gracious and took good care of us. Captain Gordon... more

I booked a half day tour with Captain Gordon of River Rovers when we were in Phuket last week and it was a very good choice. There was 7 adults, two toddlers and two babies all together, and the other boat trips seemed too daunting for us especially with two babies! The non-intrusive nature of the boat tour and a... more

We started our day in the rain, which was more akin to Gordon's home town of Christchurch than Chalong Bay, but it did'nt matter one bit. We had e mailed earlier in the week and Gordon was not sure if he had any spaces on any trip that week, a few days later he called to say he would take... more

We had a great day with Captain Gordon, Conrad and Rak. My wife, daughter and son-in-law had the boat to ourselves with Gordon and crew. Gordon's trips are not your run-of-the-mill tourist tours. He joking states you may not see another tourist all day. I poked a bit of fun at him when a tourist in a sea kayak paddled... more

We had a great time with River Rovers! One of the best aspects of the day was the fact that we were not herded together, side by side with a large mob of other tourists. Captain Gordon, Sparky & Luck made us feel as if we were spending the day with friends. We were asked for our input on the... more

A magical tour to recapture childhood glee and sensuous sights: that’s what happened on Gordon’s River Rovers tour (www.riverrovers.com). Riding the waves past sea-gypsy fishing villages into a mangrove-lined estury where paddling a kayak allowed you to wriggle in to a past world of life lived on the water - stilted houses encircled by trees with a cascade of purple... more

WE recently had the pleasure of taking a day trip with river rovers under the control of capt Gordon. I booked the trip hopeing to see some of the non tourist aspects of this area of thailand. The day more that than met those hopes. From monkeys(feeding them bananas from the kayak) to birdlife, lunch with a local fishing family... more
