Ao Thalane (Thalane Bay) Tours and Tickets

The kayaking experience was amazing. The only down side was the long drive to location (via pickup of other guests). A little unorganised to get started (one guide did it all for a group of 8), but once we got started, it was wonderful. 8km of paddling through very calm waters. Followed by a local meal.

This was a fantastic experience and well worth the arm workout. Our guide did an amazing job of showing us hidden caves and taking lots of pics of our family. We saw a cute little monkey and loved paddling through the mangroves. Really appreciated the nice, air conditioned van that picked us up & dropped us off at our hotel. Great excursion!

I enjoyed the kayaking a lot, the national park is just breathtaking with the cliffs and the mangroves, and I recommend the tour. The only drawback was time management, the pickup was a bit late and we also left the park late, so expect not to arrive home by 13 pm.

This trip is amazing, one of the best during our travels! Our guide Horan was very patient and kind and give us lots of interesting history about the place and the animals that live there. Really enjoyed kayaking through the mangroves and the picnic en route was delicious 😋

Lek was our tour guide and was amazing! Took lots of great pics and gave us lots of information. One person was alone on there kayak and was no longer able to paddle, Lek joined him to help him ashore. Obviously the mangroves were amazing as well!

We had a great kayak experience with this kayak outfit, especially with Lek. There were some things I didn't understand so hopefully this will help other tourists. We were staying at the J Holiday Inn in Krabi town. We were picked up around 8:00 am. I mistakenly thought the kayak tour began at 8:30 but there was a fairly long drive to get to the mangroves. I had also mistakenly thought that the person picking us up was just the taxi driver but it turned out it was Lek who was also the person who took us out on the kayak. When we arrived at the water we had coffee/tea and waited a while for the tides to increase (I think that is what was happening). After a while we got into the water and then did a beautiful kayak through the mangroves. The scenery was stunning and we even saw a few monkeys in the nearby mangroves. Lek was fantastic - friendly, informative, he offered to take photos of us. I think our kayak tour was around two hours. When we returned to shore we were given watermelon and hung out around before getting back into taxis for our return trip. We paid an extra 100 Thai baht for the transport which included round-trip transport. I was glad I chose this kayak trip because we only had a total of 10 people in our group vs what seemed like very large groups on other tours. Lek was great.

One of the most memorable experiences of the trip was seeing the baby monkeys jumping from the trees into the water & playing. Super cute! Another monkey looked at us from above and brought its eyebrows up & down while it was checking us out. It was pretty funny. Loved kayaking through the mangroves!

So beautiful. Out along the ocean, inside the mangroves, under the cliffs. Guide was chill. Can do half or full day, I did full and it was great
