Passeio de Stand-up Paddleboarding na Floresta de Manguezais de Krabi Aonang

Highly recommended activity to do here. I was nervous I might fall at first, but everything went well if you relax and know how to balance your body. The staff are very friendly. They will teach you how to paddle and balance.

It was so, so, so, so, so good!!! At first, I was worried because there were no Korean reviews and it was my first time paddleboarding. And since I booked on the day, I was the only one in the afternoon. But because of that, I was able to enjoy it privately. First of all, the water is very shallow. It only comes up to your calves or waist. At first, we paddleboarded in the river, and then we went out towards the sea (?), and even there, there were almost no waves and the water was shallow, so it was safer than I expected. There are some deep sections in between, but when I asked, they said it was about 3m at most. If you don't like this, you can ask them to guide you only to the shallow areas. The paddleboard was stable even when standing, and it was easy to balance. Sometimes, when a boat passes by, there's a slight wave, but the guide tells you in advance, so you just have to stay still then. And the boats pass by slowly on their own, haha. The guide prepares all the necessary items for the activity. They lend you a waterproof bag, shoes, and a waterproof case for your phone. You just need to wear your swimsuit. And they also provided cool water and fruit as snacks, and took a lot of pictures. Eating snacks while sitting on a paddleboard in the middle of the sea, looking at the islands... it was the best. After about 2 hours, my arms were a bit sore, but it was still so peaceful and healing. I was lucky enough to see a rainbow in the sky, so I saw a truly fantastic view. Although the photos didn't turn out well because they were taken in a waterproof case... ㅜㅜ If I come back to Krabi next time, this is an activity I definitely want to do again. However, it seems to be quite affected by the weather, and you have to balance and paddle for 2 hours straight, so it might be a bit difficult for those with no muscle strength! But even I only use the treadmill at the gym, and I enjoyed it thoroughly, haha. The guide was so kind that I wrote a long review hoping for their success. I really, really recommend it!! Oh, by the way, for those who are going to do it, I recommend watching the sunset late in the afternoon rather than in the morning... I think it would have been too hot if I had done it in the morning, haha. It was cool and nice in the afternoon. And the guide doesn't speak English very well. But there were no problems with the activity.

The sunset stand-up paddle tour was amazing. The sun painted the sky with beautiful colors, and it felt magical. The guides were 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 don't 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 life vest. Your guide will take pictures for you as well! It was our first time doing paddleboarding, but definitely not the last. We couldn't 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
