All the details
Paddle gently through the mangroves of Ao Thalane, its hidden lagoons and limestone cliffs, coming face to face with the local wildlife. Half day or full day with lunch, accessible to families and beginners; English-speaking guide.
A nature escape through the mangroves
Ao Thalane is peaceful Krabi: calm, sheltered waters, mangrove tunnels and hidden lagoons at the foot of towering limestone cliffs. You paddle effortlessly, at the rhythm of the tides, keeping an eye out for the monkeys, birds and archerfish that inhabit the flooded forest. It's one of the most accessible outings in the region, ideal for families and couples alike.
Half day or full day
On the half day, you explore the essentials of the mangroves and lagoons. On the full day, the outing extends with a lunch and more time on the water. On request, a kayaking variant at Klong Rood is also possible for a different, equally calm setting.
Tip: book the morning slot, the water is cooler, the light softer and the wildlife far more active than in mid-afternoon.
Before you go
Good to know
Prone to seasickness?
Take a tablet ~30 min before departure, sit mid-boat, keep your eyes on the horizon and avoid heading out on an empty stomach.
Beat the crowds
Iconic spots like Maya Bay are far calmer early in the day. Our morning departures get you there before the midday ferry rush.
National park fees
Some sites sit inside a national park, so an entrance fee may apply. Check the “Not included” list above so there are no surprises.
Sun & reef care
The tropical sun is strong, bring a hat, sunglasses and plenty of water. Reef-safe sunscreen is required in Thai marine parks.
What to pack
Swimwear under your clothes, a towel, a dry bag for your phone, and a change of clothes for the trip back.
