Tours & Excursions
General
Adventure seekers
will love Krabi! This place has everything! Kayaking
trips in mysterious caves, snorkelling around offshore
islands, sailing around a coastline of soaring cliffs,
birdwatching, island hopping and sightseeing are
just a few. In the interior, the two predominantly
mainland national parks, Khao Phanom Bencha and
Than Bokk-horani, offer eco tours and elephant trekking.
Take a swim in waterfalls, explore unusual caves,
or go trekking off the beaten track...
Here's
a selection......
On
Land
Krabi province
contains superb natural scenery with jungle covered
limestone cliffs, rock formations, hot springs
and mangroves as well as islands and beaches.
Distinct from the rest of Thailand, with influences
from Malaysia, the local culture has retained
many of its traditions and remains largely unaffected
by tourism making the area quite unique.
Tours
are available, (mostly in Land Rover type vehicles)
which explore the countryside, travelling on back
roads, though small villages, oil palm and rubber
plantations, hot springs and jungle trails. Tours
usually include a the trip through the mangroves
which have their own unique eco-system with some
cave exploration. Specialist activity tours, like
canoeing in the river systems and elephant trekking,
are also available. Most include transfers (land
and sea) lunch and National Park entrance fees
(applicable to virtually all of Krabi province)
On
Water
Visit some of the
beautiful islands surrounding Krabi by taking
a day cruise. One day trips include stopovers
at Phi Phi Island, or Lanta Island with swimming
and snorkel stops at secluded beaches. Lunch provided
- all on comfortably equipped boats. For
something a bit different, why not try a trip
on a wooden junk? These beautifully crafted boats
provide travellers with a really unique experience
guaranteed to relax.
T ours
presently operate from Phuket and Krabi. Those
who have limited time can join the cruise for
1 leg of the journey - either from Krabi or PP
Island. The cruise provides ample opportunity
for swimming, snorkelling, and lay overs at some
of the most scenic beaches in the area.
