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

Paddle Ao Thalane’s mangroves, canyons, caves, and wildlife on a scenic Krabi kayak tour with hotel pickup for $38.

“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.”

“We had such a beautiful experience! Kayaking was quite slow to keep the group together so it wasn't too tiring and let us admire the amazing nature around us without being in a rush. I get tired quite fast usually when kayaking so it was perfect. Our guide, A, was very kind and fun. A monkey jumped on our kayak and he helped reassure us and let us know what to do. He also took many pictures of the group and the nature and sent them to us right away. This way we didn't have to take our phones put and risk making them fall in the water. We loved…”

We went in the afternoon for a 7 km Kayak tour but I definitely recommend going in the morning since the water is high then and you can Kayak in a "circle" instead of the same way back.”

The scenery is awesome, it was a really relaxing paddle through the national park. The facilities at the pier are basic, but water & fruit were provided. I would have hated to have missed this trip.”
