  • Complimentary Phuket City Tour on 25 January as a special service provided by the boat for the guests staying for both trips. Please RSVP asap. ‍

    We’re so excited to offer something really special during our Thailand adventure! Brian Maran has been working hard to organize an unforgettable Elephant Tour, including a visit to an elephant hospital that is not typically open to the public.

    To make this experience possible, we have some important logistics to coordinate, especially making sure we can get everyone on and off the boat smoothly and on time. So, we need to know how much interest there is! Please take a moment to fill out the form and let us know if you’re interested. https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLSevkRde8GarCRnLOhp_5jPDKJ2zwlmQx4bNs2DpJnytgT2ErQ/viewform?usp=header
