The 15 Best Jungle Tours in Krabi

1.Tiger Cave, Hot Springs and Emerald Pool Jungle Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 2,643 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $48Our pick

Travel from Krabi’s coast into the rainforest for mineral hot springs, a jungle walk to the Emerald Pool and lunch, then visit Tiger Cave Temple. English-speaking guides such as Sky, Micky and Max lead the day; the summit climb involves 1,260 steep steps each way. Admission fees are extra.

“We had a very good trip and the guide was great. There was a bit of a dilemma at the start as we needed a pick-up/drop-off from a different hotel due to a change, but it was eventually sorted out. The walk up to the Tiger Cave was fine for me as I’m a fit athlete, but many people struggled with it—it’s definitely not for the faint-hearted. Overall, it was a good day and we enjoyed the experience.”

5.Ao Thalane Mangrove Kayaking with Extras

★★★★★★★★★★4.2 · 297 reviews · 4 - 6 hours · from $34

Travel from Krabi Town or Ao Nang to Ao Thalane for a guided kayak trip through mangrove channels and limestone cliffs. The paddle lasts about three hours, with a shorter return stretch, and the full outing takes four to six hours. Choose a swim, lunch, massage, or ATV ride if your selected option includes it.

“The kayaking experience was good, as we were able to do the entire route, because of high tide. Only one monkey was seen and he jumped on a kayak. The route was very busy in both directions which meant some tricky manoeuvres for people with no experience. We saw some guides sharing their knowledge about the surrounding, however, maybe due to the group size, we did not get this. It has made us think that we would like to kayak again.”

The hot springs was the first stop and it was a cool place to visit and chill for a bit. The Crystal pool follows next and the water was very refreshing. Make sure you walk to go and see the blue pool. We had a wonderful and filling lunch at a restaurant near the Crystal pool. Afterwards, we traveled for an hour before we reached the Tiger Temple. We decided to hike to the top of the hill. It was so…”
