2.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.”

Krabi kayaking and swimming clongrood Tour

10.Krabi kayaking and swimming clongrood Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 391 reviews · 1 day · from $26

From Ao Nang, ride by tuk-tuk to Klong Root for a guided kayak trip through clear freshwater channels and forest shade, with time to swim and seasonal fruit afterward. Guides such as Loh, Gin, and If have helped visitors spot details and take photos, though your guide may differ. Kayaking is relaxed, but an early start can mean cooler weather and fewer boats.

“Absolutely fantastic! We were picked up from our hotel and driven to the site where they gave us refreshments until the kayaks were ready. Then we leisurely kayaked down the river to a lovely swimming spot where we stayed for a good amount of time. Before kayaking back to the launch site where our guide showed us the range of cool fish that lived there. Would definitely recommend for a chilled day out!”
