Krabi: Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool and Hot Springs Tour

3.Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool and Hot Springs Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 3,616 reviews · 9 hours - 570 minutes · from $59

This nine-hour small-group trip links the Emerald Pool, Blue Lagoon, hot springs and Tiger Cave Temple in one day. Expect forest paths, time to swim and a climb of roughly 1,200 steep steps. Groups are limited to nine, and guides such as Arun, AB and Oly have helped make the day run smoothly.

“Adi our guide was excellent on the day, happy and chatty throughout and answered our extra questions when needed, we also meet his wife on the trip as she was touring another group. Driver Lee was quiet throughout but a good comfortable drive all day. The Hot Springs and Emerald pool were nice but we thought a little disappointing due to size and not a lot else to do at these locations. Tiger cave temple, you will need a good level of fitness to complete all the steps.”

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

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

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.”

“Very great service and extremely attentive and safe and knowledgeable! Provided an excellent lunch and spoke very good English. We took a speed boat at 8:00 AM to be first to arrive to the islands and beat all the traffic. We got to Phi Phi islands from Railay in 50 min as opposed to taking a wooden long boat which would have taken twice as long. Attempted to see Maya Bay and Monkey Beach but due to very high tide and choppy water we were not able to. The tour guides made three attempts but the weather wouldn’t cooperate unfortunately. As far as quality goes they were excellent and even…”
