Great Experience. Would... - Great Experience. Would like to try this again sometime in future. Not easy but with a little of help from the instructor you’ll get to the top. The instructor was fun to be around with and always made sure we are happy. Thanks Realrocksclimbing.

Great fun experience - I’ve never had any interest in rock climbing tbh but since I’ve stayed in Railay for few days I’ve decided to try and it was fun experience. The instructors where pushy when you needed it but not to much they provided clear instructions and advice and they were really fun to be around. I had great time highly recommended

Great experience - Loved it! The guides were friendly, funny, and really encouraging. They were welcoming to total beginner climbers and offered a few challenges to climbers with more experience

Go cliiiiimb - Super fun! Truly funny guides, but in a non-pushy way. Amazing location and interesting climbs! We could go for a swim at the lovely Railay beach, too!

Lives up to the hype - This was the activity I was most excited for in Krabi. And it lived up to all of the hype. My instructor was super flexible and helpful. Two of the people in my group had never climbed before and I had some experience. He matched us up with appropriate climbs according to our skill levels and gave assistance to people if they needed it. (Telling people where to grab and which way to go). It was a fantastic experience. And my favorite part of my trip to Krabi. If I didn’t have to leave so soon I would definitely have done it again.

Very nice climbing experience - We were a group of four with one guide (Pom) and had a really nice climbing experience. We felt very secure when Pom secured us by climbing. He always pushed us a to stay positive, gave us instructions how to overcome difficult spots. We climbed routes that we wouldn't have thought possible. This was quite motivating.

Real Rocks Climbing School-Rocks! But, be aware of the routes being inundated by other groups and climbers. - Real Rocks Climbing School provided two guides for our group. They had great personalities and were fun, patient, and kind. They did provide personal attention to each participant and were mindful of our varying abilities and experience levels. Phone (one of the guides) carried a laser pointer, which was helpful when climbing to direct us. They provided quality gear (shoes and harness) in a dry sack that included a bottle of water, which was thoughtful considering the heat! One thing to note: The location we used for climbing, Tam Phra Nang Beach, was inundated with other climbing groups. Although our group was the first to arrive, different groups took over the wall, and the routes were overtaken by climbers, making our group feel unsafe and rushed. This is no fault of Real Rocks Climbing School; it is an observation of the other tour companies.

Late Pick Up - The guides were very helpful and this was a beginner friendly experience. That being said they were almost 1 hr late for pick up and I was the only person on the truck when I was picked up, so if I had not called, I think it was likely I would have not been picked up at all.

Poor experience; I would choose other school in Railey. - Yes, the location is gorgeous - climbing the rock with a view on a 20 shades of blue sea? The school employees indeed picked us up from the hotel, and have all equipment. But the good experience ends there… First of all, not a single instructor was friendly. I felt like I’m in a some kind of a factory, being asked to move around like in army. There was no introductory talk to climbing, what I found strange, inefficient and even dangerous. Fortunately, I’m not a beginner, so I know how to climb, but there were people coming to ME to help with their harness or just simply asking for tips how to climb. And as much as I was happy to help, that wasn’t my job. The instructors did not even answer questions - they would just look at you with a smirk on their faces as if you’re a clown. There was a bottled water, but only 1 bottle of 0,5 liter per person, so make sure you bring some extra because climbing outdoor in 30 degrees can easily make you dehydrated. There were 3 instructors and over 15 participants - some of them were able to climb TWICE within 4 hours. At some point I was helping to belay other people because there were extra ropes hanging OR when one instructor would go on a cigarette break (!!!). Also, “our ropes” have been also used by other people who signed up for a class with other schools. I’m not sure why, but that definitely decreased the opportunities for members of our group to climb. And the routes, as beautiful as they were, were also really boring… all of them were relatively difficult for a beginner and people were just frustrated. Some participants expected that we change the location at some point, but that wasn’t the case. Also, the school didn’t give us helmets on a default, and it doesn’t sound safe especially if you know most of the participants are beginners - you’d need to request a helmet it in their school location. But how would you even know you need a helmet if you’re a beginner? My friend and I were “unfortunate” to participate in a few other half day courses in other places and with other schools, so I’m writing this review with some point of reference how a climbing outdoor class can look like. I wouldn’t come back to climb with this school.
