Krabi Aonang Mangrovebos Stand-up Paddleboarding Tour

Sterk aanbevolen activiteit om hier te doen. Ik was in eerste instantie nerveus dat ik zou vallen, maar alles ging goed als je ontspant en weet hoe je je lichaam in evenwicht moet houden. Het personeel is erg vriendelijk. Ze leren je hoe je moet peddelen en balanceren.

너무너무너무너무너무 좋았어요!!! 처음엔 한국인 후기가 없고 패들보드는 처음이어서 걱정이었습니다. 그리고 당일에 예약해서 그런가 오후시간엔 저 혼자더라구요. 근데 오히려 그래서 프라이빗하게 잘 즐기고 왔습니다. 일단 물이 굉장히 얕아요. 종아리에서 허리정도밖에 안됩니다. 처음엔 강에서 패들보드 타다가 나중엔 바다쪽으로(?) 나가는데요, 거기서도 파도가 거의 없고 수심이 얕아서 생각보다 안전했습니다. 깊은 구간이 중간중간 있긴한데 물어보니 최대 3m 정도라고 하네요. 만약 이게 싫으시면 얕은 쪽으로만 안내해달라고 하시면 될 것 같아요. 패들보드도 서있는데 안정감 있고 중심 잡기도 쉬웠어요. 가끔 배가 지나갈때 살짝 웨이브가 생기긴 하는데요 가이드가 미리 알려주니 그때는 그냥 가만히 있으면 됩니다. 그리고 배들이 알아서 천천히 지나가줘요ㅎㅎ 액티비티에 필요한 준비물은 가이드가 다 준비해줍니다. 방수 가방이랑 신발, 핸드폰 담을 방수팩도 빌려줘요. 수영복만 입고가면 됩니다. 그리고 시원한 물이랑 과일도 간식으로 챙겨주고 사진도 정말 많이 찍어줬어요. 바다 한가운데서 패들보드 위에 앉아서 섬들을 바라보며 먹는 간식..너무 최고였습니다. 2시간쯤 되니까 팔이 좀 아프긴 했는데요, 그래도 너무너무 평화롭고 힐링이었어요. 운이 좋았는지 하늘에 무지개도 떠서 정말 환상적인 풍경을 보고왔습니다. 비록 방수팩에 담아서 찍어서 사진이 잘 안나왔지만..ㅜㅜ 담에 끄라비에 다시오면 꼭 한번 더 하고 싶은 액티비티에요. 다만 날씨영향을 좀 많이 받을것 같고 2시간 내내 균형잡고 서서 노 저어야 해서 근력이 아예 없는분은 좀 힘들 수도 있어요! 근데 저도 헬스장가면 트레이드밀밖에 안하는데 충분히 잘 즐기고 왔습니다ㅎㅎ 가이드가 너무 친절해서 잘 됐으면 하는 마음에 리뷰를 길게 썼어요. 정말 추천추천합니다!! 아, 참고로 하실분들은 오전보다 오후 늦게 선셋까지 보시는걸 추천해요..일단 오전에 하면 너무 더웠을것 같아요ㅎㅎ 오후에 하니까 선선하고 좋더라구요. 그리고 가이드가 영어를 잘 못해요. 그래도 액티비티하는데 문제는 없었습니다.

The sunset stand-up paddle tour was amazing. The sun painted the sky with beautiful colors, and it felt magical. The guides was helpful and gave proper instructions. It's a must-do if you want a peaceful and awe-inspiring experience in nature.

Booked the sunrise standup paddleboard tour. Transfer from hotel to the location was punctual. The shuttle tuk tuk was clean and it was dark as the sun has not come up yet, but we felt very safe. They had complimentary hot water/tea/coffee and snacks. Our guide, P' N, got paddleboards ready and we went to the water and a small beach to watch the sunrise. P' N prepared a small breakfast picnic for us to enjoy while watching the sunrise. P' N also took really good pictures and sent it to us on WhatsApp. Easy activity, great for beginners. Highly recommend, amazing way to start the day.

If you have only one day in Krabi and dont know what to do, I recommend this tour! The pick up was quick and prompt, and our guide Anthony was very kind and patient. We paddled through the mangrove, searched for crabs and into the open water. Due to the big boats, there were waves but it was manageable (no one fell in). You get snacks, drinks and a lifevest. Your guide will take pictures for you as well!! It was our first time doing paddle boarding but definitely not the last. We couldnt have asked for better company. Thank you for the experience!!

I'm not giving this 5* because it was very different from the advertised excursion. The collection and drop off from the hotel were great and our guide was very sweet. But this was advertised as a trip by paddleboard to visit mangrove forest, star fish beach and Ko To. But we didn't go to those places. We just paddle boarded in the open sea with no itinerary. We cut the tour short before sunset as we were on our own and it was too much to randomly paddle board for 3 hours. The guide was very willing but maybe needed a bit more direction about where he should take tourists. We had to ask for the free drinking water as it wasn't forthcoming. I'm not saying it was terrible as I enjoyed the paddleboarding but just to manage expectations, it wasn't what was advertised
