I wish the tour was done...
I wish the tour was done in opposite order, but it was a fantastic view. Bring water shoes because there are a lot of rocks!

We love Otto!
Otto was the sweetest tour guide! He planned the day perfectly and we ended up beating a lot of the crowds because of how the tour was timed. Definitely required lots of physical effort but so worth it.

Monks, tigers and Emerald Pools.
A fantastic and varied day out, starting deep in the jungle with a hot spring and emerald pool swimming experience which relaxes you ready for the 1260 step challenge - climbing up Tiger Cave Temple is no mean feat!

Emerald pool and hot springs
Fabulous bathing. Short walk. The pool is a beautiful colour and warm to swim in, and the hot springs are hot like a bath. Can be a bit slippery but people will help each other so it’s ok. Well worth the visit.

Superb
Brilliant day especially the tiger cave climbing the steps 1260 to the top is definitely worth it. Would highly recommend this trip.

An amazing day!
The day was just amazing. From pick up to drop off our guide and driver were kind, considerate, and attentive. The pools were beautiful but the real star of the show was the spa. We weren't sure what to expect so it was a lovely surprise. I highly recommend the tour and Por as your guide.

Mimi was our tour guide...
Mimi was our tour guide and she was great! Make sure to bring your own toilet paper as some of the bathrooms don’t have any at the national parks. We had plenty of time at each site and lots of water provided! It was a great day!

Great Tour!
The emerald lake, hot springs, and temple is a great way to spend a day on krabi! Joining this tour is much easier, and cheaper, than finding your own way to all three places separately and worrying about coming back. The included lunch is nothing special but there are shops along the trip where you can purchase food.

Super good experience! Recommended
Perfect! Everything was on point and well organized.
Also the food at the buffet was so good for the price.
Thanks Otto, you are the best!

Good day overall, would recommend for those visiting Krabi
We had a very pleasant day. Everything ran nice and smoothly into time. Our guide Be Abhi was funny, informative and led us on a good day. The lunch provided was delicious. Stopped at each place for just long enough to enjoy and miss the crowds.
