Krabi: Kayak Adventure through Ao Thalane Mangrove Forest

1.Kayak Adventure through Ao Thalane Mangrove Forest

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,024 reviews · 4h 30m · from $38Our pick

Join Love Nature Krabi Travel and Tours for a 270-minute kayak trip through Ao Thalane. Paddle calm mangrove channels, canyons, lagoons, and Crocodile Cave, watch for monkeys and birds, and enjoy hotel pickup, equipment, water, fruit, and an English-speaking guide.

“This was one of the highlights of our trip to Krabi and I would thoroughly recommend. The journey in the kayak was wonderful and it was great to see such dramatic views as well as Monkeys jumping through the trees. When we booked it said the experience was suitable for beginners so we were a little alarmed when our guide indicated we may struggle and said we could pay for someone to row for us. As we were a couple we decided to go it alone and I have to say we were absolutely fine. Overall it was good value for money and I would thoroughly recommend it.”

“I would say it’s definitely value for money! Our guide Din (sorry if I spelt it wrong) was fabulous! A super friendly and accommodating guy who was always making sure everyone felt okay and having a good time. He made us all laugh and took photos for us. Things to note though is that the car ride there and back is quite long (maybe 35 mins) and the time it takes to get there is considered part of the “tour” which is a bit decieving as it’s just sitting on the back of a car. It was very hot kayaking under the sun! Wear sunscreen and bring a hat. But…”

We had to walk about 1 km to go but the scenery is fantastic and the wooden path is easy. The pool was amazing but unfortunately overcrowded. But definitely worth a visit.
