What to expect

Join this kayak paddling tour and discover the Hong Islands!

This day tour will begin in the morning with a hotel pickup service in Krabi. You and your fellow explorers will board a traditional longtail boat and travel to the Hong Island group. You'll make a brief stopover at Koh Daeng (Red Island) for open sea snorkeling in crystal clear water with a coral reef beneath.

When you arrive at the main island, Koh Hong, you'll begin paddling around Hong Island in a 2-seats kayak, exploring the hidden mangrove forest in Hong Lagoon. Swim in the cool, turquoise waters and see a variety of colorful fish and other marine critters. You'll enjoy a delicious, freshly prepared Thai-style boxed picnic lunch right on the beach.

Then you'll spend the rest of the day exploring the island's mysteries, from mangrove forests to wild birds, reptiles, rock formations, and beaches. You'll unwind on the turquoise beach and take in the sights. You'll view the newly opened scenic viewpoint, which offers a 360° vista of the Andaman Sea's limestone islands.

Krabi Jungle Tour with Hot Spring and Tiger Cave Temple

A treat for body and spirit, this Krabi rainforest adventure is a winner with an invigorating mix of action and relaxation. You'll take in natural hot springs, the famous Tiger Cave Temple and the fairytale setting of the Emerald Pool. Nawa, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘It might seem like the steps will never end, but the panorama from the top viewpoint at the Tiger Cave Temple are well worth the effort. Wat Tham Suea is the Thai name for the hilltop temple from where you can see right to the coast.'With sensational scenery, historic temples and hot springs to visit, Krabi packs a punch. Kick off with a journey into the Thung Teao Forest to observe Thailand's biodiversity up close. The first stop is Krabi's very own natural hot tub with relaxing thermal waterfalls and pools of warm, mineral-rich water in a lovely forest setting. Nawa adds, ‘Geothermal activity underground heats the water to 42°C. When it reaches the pools at the waterfall, it's around 35° to 40°. The heat and the minerals in the spring water are great for your wellbeing.'Next, you'll walk along a nature trail towards the freshwater Emerald Pool. Bounce into the inviting waters and soak up the sights and sounds of the lowland rainforest. After lunch, admire the view from the lofty Tiger Cave Temple – the region's most famous – where a huge golden Buddha surveys the landscape. Climb the 1,237 steep steps to the top to explore the temple, enjoy the views, and make a wish for good luck.
