About Sea Kayak Krabi

The mangroves of Krabi are a sight to behold, a beautiful testament to nature's resilience and adaptability. The area is rich in history, particularly in relation to the local fishing industry. A guide, who has lived in Krabi for many years and was once a fisherman himself, can provide a wealth of knowledge about the mangroves and the area's history. Kayaking through the mangroves is a fantastic way to immerse oneself in the natural beauty of the area, although it can be quite challenging. The journey spans about 7 km, with at least a third of it being in open water and upstream. It's advisable to eat a good meal beforehand and bring snacks, as the trip can run late. The sun can be quite strong, even in the morning, so it's recommended to apply plenty of sunscreen and cover up if prone to sunburn.

Sea kayaking through the limestone canyons and mangrove forests of Ao Thalane is a popular activity in Krabi. The untouched lagoons and the solitude of the mangrove forest are the highlights of the trip. The guides are knowledgeable and helpful, and a local meal is often provided during the trip. The northern reaches of Phang Nga Bay can also be explored via a long-tail boat and stand-up paddleboards.

A trip to Tha Len Bay to see the mangrove forests is a must for any visitor to Krabi. The staff at Sea Kayak Krabi are polite and welcoming, and the guides are professional and knowledgeable. They can explain the route and the history of the mangroves in both Thai and English. The guides ensure the safety of the visitors at all times and make the trip enjoyable and educational.

Paddling through the mangrove swamps at the base of the cliffs is one of the signature tours of Krabi. Even for those who are not experienced kayakers, there is the option to hire someone to do the paddling. This is an experience not to be missed.

A trip to Hong Island is another fantastic adventure. The journey starts with a longtail boat ride to the island, followed by a 1.5 km kayak trip to the lagoon. After exploring the lagoon and taking photos, the journey continues with a 2 km kayak trip back to the starting point. Lunch is provided, followed by two hours of snorkeling, swimming, and relaxing on the beach. The trip concludes with a visit to Pakbia Island for more swimming and photo opportunities. The guides are personable and helpful, often taking photos for the visitors throughout the trip.

The half-day mangrove kayak tour is another highly recommended activity. The tour includes lunch and is led by a guide who is a former fisherman. The guide provides clear instructions on safety and kayaking techniques, and is always ready to help with taking photos. The scenery is breathtaking, and the lunch is superb.

The half-day kayaking trip offers beautiful scenery and the chance to see wildlife up close. One visitor reported a monkey jumping into their kayak, much to the delight of their son. The trip starts from Ao Nam Mao pier and takes about an hour to reach Ao Thalane. If the lunch option is not chosen, it's advisable to eat a big breakfast or bring a snack, as it can be quite late by the time one returns to the hotel.
