Good to know

Get picked up by our friendly driver and take a 20 minute scenic drive through rural villages to the incredible, karst-dotted Thalane Bay, situated in the north of Krabi. After arriving at the kayaking center with a private pier, enjoy a coffee while your guide will prepare the equipment and study the tide tables. Get a short briefing on how to use the paddles before boarding the open kayaks.

Start paddling a short distance through open water from the launching point to the mangroves forest of Ao Thalane. The guide will lead you through shallow channels and over submerged roots. Spot cliffs with supposedly thousand year old historical paintings done by sea gypsies who once lived in these area.

At times, stop paddling and just listen. Silence, except for occasional sound of cicadas and rustling of leaves overhead. The aerial roots of the mangroves at Ao Thalane are home to many crustaceans which attract many game fish like snappers in these waters. You can also spot several species of birds and monkeys, in particular the crab-eating macaque monkey.

Some parts of the journey requires you to negotiate sharp turns in tight spaces as you wave your way through the forest. Therefore, this tour is specially designed making it semi-private, a maximum of 10 people to one guide. Enjoy the undeveloped environment without unpleasant crowds.

At midday enjoy a delicious Thai style lunch to recharge your batteries for the next adventure. Continue paddling and enter the canyons of Ao Thalane, right next to almost vertical limestone cliffs, towering above you. Enter a large cave with stalagmites and stalactites which was named the Crocodile Cave, probably because some of the hanging stalactites may look like a crocodile to those with a bit of imagination.

Leave the cave, and continue through a lagoon on your way out from the forest. Surrounded by the limestone karsts, this spectacular seascape at this part of Ao Thalane is the filming location for many movies. The total paddle time is around 3 hours, not including breaks.

Review for: 1-day tour

Very nice kayak tour through the mangroves of Ao Thalane. The pace is good even for inexperienced kayakers and there is enough time to look around and take photos. During the lunch break there was a very, very tasty lunch and in the afternoon a relaxed paddle through narrow waterways. Highly recommended! The only drawback: we saw a lot of tourists and sometimes it was a bit crowded.

Definitely recommend the full day kayaking! The guide is super friendly and knowledgable! First half will be covering longer distance by going into the mangrove. Pace of kayak is good and we are able to catch many great views and animals (starfish, monkey and crab). A tasty lunch will be served and it was super good. Second half of the trip is more relax, as we are the only couple with the guide and went to different shore. Managed to see the baby crabs that are living on the shore! Great experience and would highly recommend it!

NOT TO BE MISSED. I truly can’t recommend this enough. I’ve been travelling for 2 months and this activity was easily one of the best. A full day of kayaking is quite tiring but for the beautiful sights it is worth it! You even get driven to a fancy villa to have a delicious lunch (no pic of the lunch unfortunately but i promise it’s surprisingly good!). Overall 10/10, i will be doing this activity again when I next return to krabi.

Fun and informative. Was guided by “A” and he ensured that we were safe and well throughout the whole kayaking trip. He was also knowledgeable about the local eco system and could share with us information about the mangroves and their importance to local biodiversity and livelihoods. Will recommend the full day kayaking and come back again.

Great day! Great communication, prompt pick up, organized launching area. Our guide Bungchai was amazing-- very informative, helpful, flexible. Great demeanor. Took a ton of pics and videos and sent to us. Lunch was delicious! The scenery of mangroves and caves was amazing and we saw so many monkeys! A great way to spend the day and explore another beautiful part of Krabi.

I enjoyed this trip! It is a one of a kind experience that one should not miss out! Opt for the full day tour even it’s more tiring - you get to see more mangrove forest and better sceneries. Our guide (his name is A) is very friendly and helped us took a lot of photos. Lunch was very tummy with authentic thai tom yum soup, stir fry veggies and Chicken with cashew nuts. Highly recommended!

Mr.A was a delight. He definitely was a big part of the whole mesmerising experience. Well managed even for first timers at kayaking.

We had such a wonderful day with Nice, our guide. Practically had a private tour as we were the only ones that day. He guided us across the sea to explore tranquil mangroves, hidden lagoons and surprise sandbars in the middle of the sea at our own pace. Other than another small group of kayakers in the morning, we had the mangroves to ourselves. Gliding along the river in the shadier mangroves felt like a peaceful, moving meditation. Our guide isn't super chatty but will provide answers abd information when asked. Suits us fine. This gentle young man also has a talent at catching crabs! That was fun too! We noticed that he was picking up garbage along the way to dispose and helping other people with their kayaks when we were all relaxing at the first hidden beach. Lunch was a delicious thai feast at a lovely restaurant back at the pier. I was delighted that they could cater to my vegetarian diet. Would love to come back and explore the other routes with this company.
