Wow! This tour exceeded our expectations! The kayaking was great and the scenery was beautiful, but AK really made it special. He was so informative, but most importantly fun. He had us laughing throughout the trip. Would definitely do this tour again!

This experience was amazing, we got picked up from the Ao Nang area and taken to the pier which was around a 25 minute drive. The instructor was professional and there was only me and my friend on the tour. Due to it being early we couldn’t go through the whole mangrove but what we did was amazing, so if you want to do this we were told it would be the afternoon tour. In total we kayaked around 7km according to the guide and saw some amazing animals. Definitely recommend, fruit and water were also provided.

Excellent excursion to see the beauty of nature and wildlife in Thailand. Small group setting created more of a personal tour with our guide. Our guide and driver were courteous and helpful from pick up to drop off. Highly recommend.

The tour and what we saw were very cool but our guide was not. Basically ahead of us the whole time and barely ever spoke to us.

We had a great trip. I took my son and his girlfriend and we had only one other family of 4 with us. We went early to beat the heat and crowds. The only thing is the tide is low and you have to turn around as opposed to going all the way through. I rather beat the heat and people though. Highly recommend. So many kayaks out there but our group was small and they picked us up at our hotel.

Had the most amazing time kayaking through the mangroves, our guide, Boat, was very friendly and helpful. Totally recommend doing this as the views were incredible!

Our guide AK was the best taking the time to teach us about the mangroves and their importance, along with the many animals that called it home
Bobbie_W, Feb 2026
Tour was great! Tour guide was very familiar with the area and pointed out a lot of things. We saw quite a few monkeys too!!
jill, Feb 2026
We enjoyed this tour, we went early and so glad we did as it was so peaceful, just 4 kayaks in our group and the guide but by the end it was so busy with kayaks everywhere. Do we definately made the right choice. The guide was very engaging and informative and we had a fun time
Laura_R, Feb 2026
Once in a life time experience. The mangroves are gorgeous. Our guide was funny and told us lots about the wildlife and the history of mangroves. Saw many other massive groups go round with a guide not saying much which was absolutely not the case for us. Our guide even knew which monkey was friendly! We would recommend this exact trip to anyone staying in the area.
Marica_C, Feb 2026
This experience was magical all over! The quiet of early morning paddling, the discovery of the little animals that inhabit the sandbank, the mangroves..it is a must try! Thank you to our guide :)

Great kayak tour around and through the island with varied scenery of rocks, canyon, cave, mangroves and wildlife
Michael_W, Jan 2026
We were very lucky as we had a very small party and an exceptional quide. He was friendly and had a good knowledge of the area.
Adam_V, Jan 2026
The tour was flawless and I would recommend it to everyone who loves nature. Our guide - Boat - was friendly, spoke very good english, told us many interesting things and we also had ample time to enjoy the nature in silence. Guys, give Boat a raise, he's the top guide :)

We did this instead of rock climbing due to the recent rain. It was probably for the better because we had been physically exerting ourselves a good amount to the days leading up.
This was a nice alternative. I can tell the guide cared about the ecosystem a lot too.
Pamela_S, Dec 2025
Fun, breathtaking, and great exercise. The views are tremendous and the guide was extremely knowledgeable. Appreciated it was a smaller tour group so it was easy to keep up and hear the guide.
Aniela_K, Dec 2025
The biggest highlight was the group size—just four people (two double kayaks), which is a huge plus compared to the crowded tours.
Our guide was quiet for most of the trip, allowing us to truly listen to the nature and admire the stunning National Park. While he was very helpful and answered all our questions about the limestones and mangroves, I would have loved a bit more proactive background/history on the area without having to ask.
We ended with a swim at a beautiful small beach. A note for the company: I noticed people smoking there and hope guides provide small disposal boxes to ensure no cigarette butts are left behind in this pristine spot.
We made a point to pick up some floating plastic during our paddle—a small effort that got a big "thank you" from our guide. I highly encourage everyone to leave the park a little better than they found it!

Fun activity, not too strenuous. Beautiful scenery. Our guide was helpful & humorous. He kept us informed about what we were doing & about the area.
We were provided with life jackets-some groups on other companies tours did not have them.

Lovely scenery and very pleasant paddling through the mangroves. It was hard work paddling across the estuary at the start and end. Guide was OK but when he stopped he gave the information to the couple who got there first and didn’t repeat it. Generally he was quite away ahead and didn’t really engage.

This was a really enjoyable trip but is quite physical so I would suggest not doing it if you don’t have a certain level of fitness or aren’t used to physical activity.
The views are really good nd it’s an interesting trip

The guide was undeniably kind and clearly passionate about his work, and I truly hope he continues to find opportunities in this field. However, I feel it’s important to leave an honest review for the sake of future travelers.
While kayaking through the mangroves was a stunning and unforgettable experience, the water, the trees, the wildlife, the serene beauty all around, I found myself feeling increasingly frustrated during the tour. My main concern was the complete lack of quiet throughout the entire 2-hour trip. From the moment we began to the very end, the guide spoke NONSTOP, without even a single moment of pause for silence or reflection!!!
For those of us who came to soak in the peacefulness of nature, to hear the sounds of the birds, the wind, and the water, this constant commentary made it almost impossible to enjoy the environment fully. It felt as though there was little awareness that some guests might want to experience the mangroves in solitude, without ongoing conversation.
I completely understand that part of a guide’s role is to share knowledge and ensure guests feel engaged. However, there’s a delicate balance between providing helpful insights and overwhelming the group with continuous chatter! Even just occasional breaks for quiet would have transformed the experience, allowing us to truly connect with the natural beauty around us.
For future tours, I would kindly suggest incorporating moments of stillness so that guests who value the peaceful side of nature can immerse themselves more fully. The setting itself was spectacular, but unfortunately, the lack of mindfulness around this aspect made the tour less enjoyable than it could have been.

This is such a fantastic tour. So relaxing and serene. It had a bit of everything.- exercise during the paddle, followed by a relaxing then the stop on a sandbank at low tide to look at starfish and sthe crabs. Then the kayak through the forest which was a sight to behold. Very calming and relaxing, the perfect antidote to life in busy Aonang. Our guide, Boet (apologies If I have not spelt this correctly), was so sweet and entertaining. He gave us some history of the area, talked about how mangrove forests have been cut down for development, and explained how the trees prosper and grow thanks to replanting efforts. He was very charming and indulged us by taking lots of photos, which he must get sick of, but it did not show at all! All in all, this was fantastic value for money and I totally recommend it to anyone visiting the area. Thanks so much for a lovely morning.

Really great day. Fantastic family run buisness. Great tour through mangrove. So scenic and relaxing. The rain made it even better

Brilliant trip really enjoyed this feeding the elephants and cooking some Thai food which was fantastic
Mike_D, Apr 2025
One of our favorite tours in Thailand. A little bit of a workout, which was needed, and in exchange breathtaking scenery. We went through passages in the Mangroves that we maybe 10 feet wide. We did not see any wildlife except for a few crabs but it was peaceful and very unique. Our guide AL was very entertaining and made for a great leader
Karen_W, Apr 2025
Great trip. Pick up on time. Life jackets provided. Easy paddling with 2 in a kayak. Knowledgable guide. Nice small group.
Scott_H, Mar 2025
A nice early morning before the hottest time of day, to enjoy kayaking through the mangroves. A lovely experience, nice and slow-paced, idyllic and surreal how silent from the world the mangroves are. My arms may be tired, but well worth it for the experience.
Krista_B, Mar 2025
AMAZING experience! So glad we booked this. Our guide A.K. was super fun and full of energy. The mangrove is beautiful and peaceful. I'm a 50 year old in good shape but I worried I may get tired after a while since it is a 2 hour trip and he had mentioned some current we would encounter about halfway through but it was no problem at all. Everyone was in tandem kayaks so my 14 year old daughter and I took turns (and sometimes paddled together) - easy. The biggest effort is right in the beginning crossing from their kayaking place across to the other side where the inlet to mangroves is but after crossing you stop for a break at a beach inside a rock. The actual kayaking in the mangroves was not much work at all. We did see one monkey (macaque) in a tree. Also, be aware that it is possible to pay someone to paddle for you for a small fee (~300 baht). Luckily my hotel informed me of this when I told them my 17-year-old daughter was going to cancel because she was too badly sunburned to move her arms that much. So she was able to come also and had a paddler. We were very happy with this experience.

A different experience to what one typically does compared to snorkeling & scuba. Overall a very unique and amazing experience. Highly recommended
Melissa_F, Feb 2025
Pretty chill little excursion. The highlights I think are being within the mangroves. I wish we could've spent more time in there or maybe had a few more spots to park and get out. The tour goes pretty quick so if you like taking pictures be at the ready.
