The wild islands of Thailand,
by sea kayak
Guided sea kayak expeditions and professional sea kayaking courses based in Koh Chang Marine National Park, Thailand.
From your first paddle to multi-day island expeditions, we combine local knowledge, small groups, quality equipment and genuine passion for kayaking.
We know these waters.
We love sharing them.
Since 2009, S.E.A. Kayaking has been exploring the coastline and islands of Koh Chang by sea kayak. Today, the business is 100% locally owned and operated by Amy and Tu, together with Don, a close friend and trusted partner.
We combine years of kayaking experience, local knowledge, great equipment and genuine Thai hospitality to create safe, personal and adventurous experiences on the water.
Come paddle with us and discover the Thai coast from a different perspective.

From one day to two weeks on the water — whether you want a first taste of sea kayaking or a serious multi-day expedition, there’s a journey for you.

Paddle from Salakphet through a traditional fishing village and mangrove waterways to quiet islands, hidden beaches and the less-visited southeastern coast of Koh Chang — your perfect first taste of sea kayaking in paradise.

5 Day Expedition
A little further, a little wilder — deeper into the archipelago.

Our flagship expedition through the Koh Chang archipelago — six days of sea kayaking, major open-water crossings, a night camping on Koh Rang and a well-earned rest day on Koh Mak.

Circumnavigate Koh Chang before continuing to Koh Rang, Koh Mak and Koh Wai — a challenging expedition covering approximately 165 kilometres of coastline and open sea.

Our home: Koh Chang Marine National Park
52 islands, one incredible playground. S.E.A. Kayaking is based in Salakphet, on the southern coast of Koh Chang, within Koh Chang Marine National Park. With sheltered bays, mangrove forests, quiet beaches, rocky coastlines and surrounding islands, the park offers a remarkable range of sea kayaking experiences — from calm waters for beginners to longer journeys, open-water crossings and multi-day expeditions for experienced paddlers. This is the coastline we know, love and call home.
Explore, but never exploit.
We believe the places we explore should be left better than we found them.
We work with local suppliers, minimise our impact and follow Leave No Trace principles whenever we’re on the water.
Explore responsibly.
