just had a look at his website here. Looks interesting but I know what you mean about claustrophic!

Yeah i know iv emailed them so hopefully il be able to get some idea before i book. Just looking at andaman leisure now. These tours are all more expensive than i imagined they would be.

I wonder if it would be cheaper to book when you are there?

Would say the John Grey trip is worth it...its very professionally run and environmentally aware. You also get some of the best thai food I've had in Thailand on the trip. It cost more than some of the other companies operating the trips but then they do pay their guides who take you into the hongs.

Actually getting into the hongs can be a little claustrophobic...the cave passage we were in came as close as my nose when lying flat in the canoe.
