Lek from Friends of Kyak was the best guide we've had for any tour in Thailand.
He is enthusiastic and knowledgeable about the local area and tides (understanding the tides i think was key in allowing us to navigate the mangroves). He also had a good sense of humor and we would highly recommend him for a private kyak tour.

Booked the early morning one it was brilliant. It had been full moon the night before so it was a high tide so got to go right into the mangroves. There was only us and our guide Lek it was like a personal tour. Lek our guide was fantastic nothing was too much trouble. He was very knowledgeable and a really nice guy.

We had a fantastic time kayaking through the canyon and into the mangroves. As it was low tide we couldn’t go all the way through the mangroves (you can check before booking when to go) but it was still a wonderful experience.

We did the early bird tour. The advantage was that our group was very small. Only 6 of us and we were split in two. My husband and I drew the lucky straw and were allocated a private guide. The trip was easy to complete and unforgettable. Beautiful, very quiet mangrove bush, impressive rock formations and a few monkeys and monitors thrown in for good measure.
Afterwards we were treated to some very tasty (but not spicy) Thai rice snacks. This was lovely tour and a highpoint of our trip to the Krabi coast. An absolute must in your itinerary!

It was a fun workout for the morning. The rowing was not that bad, we were a small group that day, after a full moon and rain, we could go everywhere. The guide was very?chatty and friendly.

We did the sunset kayaking tour with the most incredible guide, Mat, and loved it so much we booked the early bird two days later. Best thing we did in Krabi! Mat was so kind, helpful, and passion about nature. A joy to be with. Thank you!

Excursion tôt le matin j'étais seule avec l'instructeur très sympa. Un calme absolu et tout était magnifique. J'ai vu beaucoup de faune et mangrove. J'ai adoré cette excursion.

Ein wunderbares Erlebnis. Ich würde immer wieder zu der frühen Zeit starten, so hat man die Wasserwege noch für sich alleine, was wirklich sehr schön ist. Sollte man auf jeden Fall mal gemacht haben.
