Spend the morning or afternoon paddling in the cool shade of the Ao Thalane canyons in the north of Krabi. Observe wildlife, including crab-eating macaques, gibbons, the occasional cicada, otters and an ever-present monkey trying to hitch a ride.

Get picked up and take a drive through rural villages toThalane Bay, located in the north of Krabi. After arriving at the kayaking center, enjoy a coffee and get a short briefing on how to use the paddles before boarding the open kayaks. The guide will lead you through shallow channels, over submerged roots and even paddle right next to almost vertical limestone cliffs, towering above you. The aerial roots of the mangroves at Ao Thalane are home to many crustaceans which attract many game fish like snappers in these waters.

Next, enter a large cave with stalagmites and stalactites which was named the Crocodile Cave. You can spot several species of birds and monkeys, in particular the crab-eating macaque monkey, and if you are lucky large water monitors (a lizard that looked like the Komodo Dragon). Continue through a lagoon on your way out from the forest. The tour finishes with Thai style lunch at Sea Kayak Pier.
