“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.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 7 reviews

From Ao Nang, you’ll reach Ao Thalane for three hours of guided kayaking through mangrove channels, coastal waters, canyons, caves, and lagoons. Look for macaques, iguanas, kingfishers, and herons, with Crocodile Cave as a memorable stop. Morning departures are best for cooler weather.

“The tour is about 6 kilometers long and takes you on a relaxed route through beautiful mangroves and along the coastline. However, be prepared for noticeable countercurrents, waves, and wind in the coastal section. Scenically, the tour is definitely enjoyable and varied. That said, the guides seemed a bit overwhelmed with the large group (more than 10 kayaks) and didn’t provide enough guidance or support. Since the participants had very mixed experience levels – from confident paddlers to those who still hadn’t figured it out by the end – the flow of the tour felt somewhat disjointed. We still had a good time, but it didn’t quite feel like a…”
