KRABI · DESTINATION
Krabi's classics.
Krabi is the southern Thailand province where the limestone cliffs lean out over the water and the islands feel close enough to swim to. Most of the best days here happen on a boat — longtail to the Hong lagoons, speedboat to Phi Phi, a quiet kayak through the mangroves before the heat picks up.
On land there's the climb up Tiger Cave Temple, the emerald pools an hour inland, the night swims through bioluminescent plankton, and the cooking classes that take you through Krabi Town's morning market first.
What follows is the ten experiences travellers book most across the major platforms. It's where to start when the week is wide open and the only question is which day to put what.
Krabi’s Hong Islands speedboat day trip with lunch: Hong lagoon views, Lao Lading snorkeling, Pakbia sandbars, and a 360 viewpoint.
“Really nice trip, our guide (Fay) was lovely and we enjoyed going to the different beaches! They were busy and some were more crowded than others but a lovely day overall for sure, and the beaches were beautiful !”
Krabi in one day: Emerald Pool swim, Blue Lagoon photos, hot springs soak, then the 1,200-step Tiger Cave Temple with a small GSTC-certified group.
“Our day was well spent visiting the temple, the emerald pool and the hot springs. Our tour guide, She-Ra, was knowledgeable and her photographs were excellent. The driver was exceptionally safe, always opened the door for us and was punctual. The tour is highly recommended.”
Kayak Ao Thalane mangroves, spot monkeys and birds, visit Crocodile Cave, and get hotel pickup in 4.5 hours.
“We had a beautiful time kayaking today. If you've never kayaked before I wouldnt recommend learning on this tour though. My partner was lucky I am a strong paddler because he had no Idea what he was doing. Would take this tour again”
