• Sea Kayak Krabi - Be greeted by our welcoming driver and enjoy a 20-minute scenic drive through charming rural villages to the stunning, karst-studded Thalane Bay, situated in northern Krabi. Upon arrival at the kayaking center with its private pier, savor a coffee while your guide prepares the equipment and checks the tide tables. Receive a brief tutorial on paddle usage before embarking on the open kayaks.

Begin paddling a short distance across open water from the launch point to the mangrove forest of Ao Thalane. Your guide will navigate you through shallow channels, over submerged roots, and alongside nearly vertical limestone cliffs towering above. Discover cliffs adorned with ancient historical paintings, believed to be created by sea gypsies who once inhabited the area.

Occasionally, pause paddling to simply listen. Experience the tranquility, interrupted only by the occasional sound of cicadas and the rustling of leaves overhead. The aerial roots of the mangroves at Ao Thalane provide a habitat for numerous crustaceans, attracting game fish like snappers to these waters.

Certain parts of the journey require maneuvering sharp turns in tight spaces as you weave through the forest. This tour is specially designed to be semi-private, with a maximum of 10 people per guide, allowing you to enjoy the pristine environment without large crowds.

Explore a large cave adorned with stalagmites and stalactites, known as the Crocodile Cave, likely named because some hanging stalactites resemble a crocodile to those with vivid imaginations. Spot various bird species and monkeys, particularly the crab-eating macaque monkey, and if fortunate, large water monitors (a lizard resembling the Komodo Dragon).

Exit the cave and continue through a lagoon as you make your way out of the forest. Surrounded by limestone karsts, this breathtaking seascape at Ao Thalane has served as a filming location for numerous movies. The total paddling time is approximately 2 hours, excluding breaks.

A set menu lunch is available for those who have booked the lunch option, perfect for those wishing to refuel before the kayaking session.
