Ao Thalane Kayaking
อ่าวท่าเลน
Paddling a kayak between limestone cliffs and mangroves, often spotting macaques and kingfishers. It is Krabi's most popular half-day land-and-water activity.
Ao Thalane lies about 30 km north of Ao Nang. Limestone peaks rise throughout the bay, and mangrove waterways criss-cross it, earning it the nickname "Little Guilin". On a guided kayak tour you paddle through gorges and caves, and you can often spot crab-eating macaques, kingfishers and mudskippers. Most people join a half-day tour (about 2 to 3 hours, including transfers and life jackets, at roughly 800 to 1,500 baht). Departure times depend on the tides. Wear clothes that can get wet, and bring sunscreen and a dry bag.
