Krabi: Kayak Adventure through Ao Thalane Mangrove Forest - Hotel pickup and the ride to Ao Thalane

★★★★★★★★★★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…”

Review of the $55 James Bond Island tour from Krabi, with longtail boat rides, kayaking, Koh Panyee lunch, temple, and waterfall stops.

“This trip is really worth it. First of all, the guide Mai explained everything very well and everything was very well planned. She is sweet and funny. The van driver Kai was really nice and a really good driver and even though the van trip is a bit long, it was worth it. The kayak guy was again such a nice man and tried his best to take beautiful photos and he was very creative and it is worth it to choose this option. There were a lot of monkeys at the temple and Mai warned us about how they steal your food. Very cute and smart. The lunch is…”

Hong island is beautiful and you have enough time for swimming, for hiking, for climbing the 400 steps to get the best views, etc. Very well organized, but the time on the peer should be shorten.”

“We had the most amazing day, everything was so well organised, the staff were a extremely friendly and such a beautiful place to do such a fun activity. Our guide Doha (hope that’s how to spell his name) was fantastic. He was super patient - he helped us when we got stuck on some of the stumps we didn’t see and even helped us spot a mangrove snake hidden in the trees! Ample water was provided throughout the day and we even got a fruit platter at the end. We also had a dabble at archery which was a great way to finish off the day. I would absolutely recommend…”
