1.Kayak Adventure through Ao Thalane Mangrove Forest

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,024 reviews · 4h 30m · from $38Our pick

Kayak Krabi’s Ao Thalane mangroves, canyons, caves, and wildlife on a scenic half-day tour with pickup for $38.

“It was a beautiful day with great views. The guides were friendly and accommodating when I realized they were double kayak set ups but I was expecting a single. The landscape and various terrain (Mangroves, Cliffs, Jungle, Beaches) were absolutely stunning. The only critique I have is transpiration could be more effective as you only spend about two hours on the water but we sat around for a long while both before we got on the water and while we waiting for the trucks to take us back to the hotels. Overall I would do it again and found great value.”

Review of Krabi’s Hong Island longtail boat and kayak tour, with snorkeling, lagoon paddling, Thai buffet lunch, hiking, and practical tips.

“It was good, the island is beautiful but I didn't feel we got enough time there so I would rather skip out the snorkeling and go straight to Hong Island. The crew were nice but didn't offer much other than where we were going and what time we needed to be back, which was fine. Overall it was good and it's a reasonable price.”
