Experience a 4-day exploration of Krabi’s scenic coastline with this extension. Kayak through Ao Thalane, a mangrove forest between Than Bok Khoranee National Park and Krabi Town, where sheltered bays and limestone canyons wind through the trees. Watch for kingfishers, little herons, and crab-eating macaques foraging along the shoreline, and break for lunch at a restaurant overlooking the bay. Cruise by private longtail boat to Koh Hong in the afternoon, as many daytime visitors return to the mainland. Relax on the beach, swim, or try paddle-boarding beneath the island’s limestone formations when sea and tide conditions allow. Close the day at a scenic spot with drinks and light bites as the sky shifts color over the Andaman Sea. Private airport transfers to and from Ao Nang round out a short, active escape.

Day 1: Arrive Krabi

Arrive in Krabi and meet your local representative at the airport. Look for a sign with your name at the meeting area just past the exit, beside the information desk. Travel for approximately one hour by private transfer to Ao Nang, a coastal town known for its limestone cliffs and vibrant atmosphere. Settle in at your hotel and prepare for the adventures ahead.

Day 2: Kayak Ao Thalane’s Mangrove Forests

Today, a morning pickup from your hotel brings you to the pier, where you set out on a full-day join-in kayaking trip through the mangrove forests of Ao Thalane, located between Than Bok Khoranee National Park and Krabi Town. Paddle through narrow channels, sheltered bays, and limestone canyons while spotting kingfishers, little herons, and crab-eating macaques along the shoreline.

Enjoy lunch at a restaurant overlooking the bay before continuing into quieter sections of the mangroves, where monkeys forage along the water’s edge. Keep a close eye on your belongings, as the macaques are known to grab unattended items. After exploring this unique coastal ecosystem, return to the pier, change into dry clothes, and travel back to your hotel.

Please note this is a join-in tour shared with other travelers, and the route may change depending on weather and tide conditions.

Day 3: Hong Island Kayak & Longtail Boat

Spend the morning at leisure, relaxing at your hotel or exploring the area at your own pace. In the afternoon, board a private longtail boat and cruise to Koh Hong, arriving as the light begins to soften and many daytime visitors are heading back to the mainland.

Limestone formations rise straight from the sea around the island, and the quieter hours leave time to explore at an easy pace. Depending on sea and tide conditions, relax on the beach, swim in the clear water, or try paddle-boarding nearby.

As the day winds down, continue by boat to a scenic spot to take in the golden hour over the water, with a sunset refreshment set of drinks and light bites prepared for you. Return to the mainland in the early evening and transfer back to your hotel.

Please note the program may vary with sea, tide, and weather conditions, and sunset views cannot be guaranteed.

Day 4: Return Home

  • 1 Breakfast
Spend the final morning in Ao Nang at leisure. If time permits, explore local markets, visit a nearby beach, or take a last walk along the coastline. Transfer by private vehicle to Krabi Airport for the onward journey.

This was our first trip to South America and we were a little nervous. But Adventure Life made things so easy! All our questions were answered before we left, and our guide, Vidal, was amazing! He gave us enough space to explore without rushing us along. He also knew where the best picture taking opportunities were, which was great.
