          The most incredible morning!
          We had a fantastic morning with AK who was knowledgable and supportive as well as being funny throughout! He took us before it got busy with other tourists and it was so peaceful and tranquil. The mangroves were brilliant and he explained lots about the local wildlife and how the mangroves help with fresh water production and protection from tsunamis. We saw monkeys, walking fish, amazing starfish and crabs. Thank you for an unforgettable experience.

          Amazing experience
          We spent the morning with our guide AK exploring the jungle. It was a great experience. He told us many interesting facts about the environment and Thailand overall. Before the tour we were a little bit afraid but he made us feel really safe. With the fact that the tour starts before all the others, we were alone on the water. Everything was so quiet and peaceful. We saw crabs, fishes, huge lizards, birds, a dead cobra and a rare monkey species. On our way back we saw the other tourists starting their tours and it got more crowded in the area. So get up early and go on a tour with AK and experience the untouched nature of Thailand!

          Quick AMAZMENT
          Was a great time to be able to find a trip that wasn't a full day tour. Had to be catching a plane to Chiang Mai and wanted to be able to see part of Ao Nang Bay - was able to get a tour, see some beautiful view with a chance to still leisurely catch our flight.

          Amazing trip, highly recommend!
          We booked this during our stay in Krabi & had an amazing time. It was just the 2 of us & the guide, AK. We were thankful for the early start as we didn’t see any other tours until we were on our return, so it was just us 3 for the majority & felt extra special because of this. AK was very informative, showing us walking fish & different crabs, birds & monkeys. The route was fantastic, deep canyons, amazing mangrove forests & limestone caves. We felt we learned so much because of our guide& would highly recommend this tour, we can be quite picky with our activities but we are more than happy with the service we chose. If in Krabi, choose this tour, You won’t be disappointed! Thanks for an awesome time AK!

          What a great tour for half day with a great guide, AK Picked up on time for the 30 min drive to the kayak point As it turned out, we were the only ones on this day for the tour, so luckily it became a private tour You leave a bit earlier than other tour groups to avoid too many clashes AK is a wonderful informative and funny guide There is absolutely no rushing and he takes the time to not only pass on his wealth of knowledge but asks lots of questions about wherever it is that you come from. He has a genuine interest in all things nature and preserving them. We were lucky enough to see a long tail monkey swimming from shore to the mangrove, walking fish, water monitor, thousands of crabs and numerous fish This is a leisurely few hours paddle and no need for any previous experience Highly recommended for a different view of the water and surrounding wildlife Thank you AK for a memorable morning

          3rd Time!!
          So.. as the title states this is the 3rd with the same company and same guide! My first visit was solo on an extended trip around Asia exactly 2 years ago.. the second with my girlfriend in August 2017 and today with my 12 year old daughter! It Speaks volumes in itself that I keep coming back!! Everyone who works at the company is so welcoming! The tour, I have worked out leaves slightly earlier than the other tours, which means less tourists and much much more wildlife, also I have never been in an overcrowded tour which is awesome... To top it off if you are lucky enough to get the same guide as I have had each time, this man is an absolute pleasure to be around and is constantly throwing out the jokes, accompanied by all the local knowledge and history! If you decide to do kayaking in Krabi which you absolutely should! This is the company you should do it with! Thank you so much for yet again an absolutely perfect morning!! 6/5 :)

          Great tour
          We just had a great tour. We booked the Tha Lane Bay Discovery Tour and were picked up at our hotel by our guide Naeim exactly at the agreed time 8:00 am. We found out that we were the only one booked for that day so we ended up having a private tour. We traveled around 30 minutes to the kayaking place. With this tour you will go directly to the canyon and mangroove forest so we ended up all alone in the forest with our guide for the whole time. Later on the way back we started to meet more and more tourists. Naeim was very knowledgeable and we learned a lot about mangrooves. The kayaking takes around 2,5 hours, we received a complimentary coffe/tea, water and after the kayaking also some fresh fruit. We had a great experience and would definitely recommend this tour company.

          Long kayak visit of the mangrove and canyon
          That trip was so amazing !! We had an hot in Ao Nang, they came to take us at 8 a.m, perfectly on time, really kind people and very friendly. When we arrived we had a free tea or coffee before going, then beautifull trip with 2 guides that know perfectly the environement, a lot of interresting informations all along the trip. We have only good things to say about this trip and we paid 1900 baths for 2 adults for a 3 hours kayak trip. (Trip can be different according to the tide, ask before if you want to do the long trip, around 7 km)

          Excellent trip
          One of the best trips in Thailand. Amazing experience with a very kind and funny guide! We all know that mass tourism nowadays doesn’t take in consideration authentic experiences, hence I appreciate the fact that these guys can do tourism and respect the environment in the same pace. I would love to learn that more and more people embrace this attitude over time. Go for it, I strongly recommend them.

          Best thing we have done in Thailand.
          This trip was amazing, we went on the morning trip and luckily for us 2 it was just us so the trip was a little bit more private. On time the guide picked us up from our hotel we had coffee once we arrived at the place. All staff were welcoming and lovely. Our guide was amazing, full of knowledge and just a nice guy to spend a few hours with! The trip itself was spectacular, the scenes were breathtaking and we saw plenty of wildlife, experience of a lifetime! Can't fault the trip, great value for money and they dropped us off at our hotel once finished Going early was great, we missed the rush of tourist and it was just us in the area. I would recommend having some fitness as it can be some exercise! 100% must do with this company if you are here!

        The guide, if you can call him that, treated us quite badly throughout the entire excursion. He made us get into the kayaks through a ramp full of mud and did not warn us that we had to take off our shoes, they got stuck in the mud and broke, the guide did not even apologize, nor did he tell us that we could stay in swimsuits, much better than going with our clothes since we were going to get wet, we ended up with broken shoes and soaked clothes. Also, when booking, we picked up the hotel by selecting the name of our hotel that appeared on their list of places where they came to pick you up, and they didn't come to pick us up, they made us meet at a meeting point that was 15 minutes away by boat. from our hotel. During the excursion it seemed that we were in a hurry, we saw how other companies stopped to take photos getting off the boat and even bathing, we had none of that, we were barely able to take photographs because we only stopped for 10 minutes along the entire way. It was quite uncomfortable that the guide did not stop whistling and making noises and did not let us enjoy nature. I also wasn't careful with the less experienced people who were left far behind the group paddling with problems and not giving them help. It tells you that they give you water and tea, but they are only able to serve you cold water, they only had one bottle in the refrigerator and they made us share it among 4 people, all the other water bottles were hot. In short, doing the excursion with this agency seemed like a waste of time, money and a very bad experience that is not recommended. We took it because it had good reviews but it seems to me that they are false, the comments have nothing to do with reality.

        Querido Pedro, ¿Estás diciendo que el 97% de los clientes satisfechos son mentirosos? Por favor habla en serio. En cuanto a la recogida, has elegido un hotel al que no se puede llegar en coche, sino sólo en barco. Tu mal señor. Nuestra minivan privada con aire acondicionado no puede flotar en el agua del mar, lo siento. Con respecto a tus zapatos y ropa: ¿Estás diciendo que hiciste el recorrido con zapatos y ropa casual? Esto no es serio. Mira todas las fotos y podrás ver personas descalzas, vestidas con traje de baño. Eres malo otra vez, señor. Nadie hace kayak con zapatos y ropa, ni aquí ni en ningún otro lugar. En cualquier negocio siempre habrá entre un 2 y un 3% de clientes insatisfechos. Eres uno de esos. Espero que algún día puedas encontrar la paz y la felicidad en tu vida. Saludos respetuosos.

        This was a 5 star trip, if i could give more I would. It was an out of this world experience even if it is hard work. But to get the full aura of the surroundings you must go early.
        There is an amount of physical fitness required for the activity but the guide tailors the speed of the tour to the group. Our guide was nothing but brilliant. Very funny and knowledgeable, pointing out many things of interest. The jungle river is something else. A seemingly untouched world of natural beauty. Seeing many different birds, sea eagle, falcon and king fishers. Also many lizards and monkeys along the way.
        One major tip go as early as possible. This way you are the only ones on the river as later it does get very congested with dozens of tourists groups. We felt like VIPs being the sole group of 4. This real did make a massive difference to the experience.
        A must do ... if visiting the Krabi area.

        We booked this trip as we were bored of sunbathing. Everything from being picked up from hotel to the whole trip was really professional. We felt really safe. AK the guide was really knowledgeable and fun. As the route was 6 km we were really tired at the end but a great value for money trip and the highlight of our holiday

        We spend the morning with our tour guide AK and it was a wonderful experience. We got to see a lot of the surrounding nature with some background information. Because the tourism here in Thailand is still recovering from the pandemic and tourism isn’t booming yet, we had the privilege to have a private tour. Nonetheless with a group of people it would be just as fun because you can experience it together. We saw different kinds of animals and could even spot some monkeys which was a wonderful experience. As backpackers we are on a budget but thought that it was definitely worth it because it is not something that you see very often.

        It was a beautiful day thanks to AK.

        We really enjoyed our kayak tour through the mangrove forest and by going early you avoid the crowds. Our guide was very informative about the mangrove and we saw lots of monkeys. The stop at the beautiful little hidden beach was very nice. Highly recommended but expect some sore arms for a couple of days afterwards haha.

        Excellent tour, kayak through the mangroves and view the limestone peaks while drifting along. AK makes this tour so special with his knowledge and humour he even whistle "take me home country road" to add to the atmosphere. This company get you there first before everyone else turns up so you can enjoy the serenity of the place. Pick up was on time snacks on arrival and after fantastic.

        Really enjoyable experience with some amazing views! Price is reasonable too and get to travel right through the forest. Early start means you avoid big groups and other tours who arrived as we were finishing.
        AK the tour guide was great - excellent English!

        We have had a great experience with this tour this morning. The pick up was exactly on time at our hotel and the guide was very friendly!

        Two things make this tour stand out: first of all, you are with a small group of people so it is very easy to get around in the kayak, even if you're not experienced.

        Second, you leave pretty early so you are ahead of the other larger companies in the area. This way we've experienced the mangroves at low tide, so we were able to visit another beach and spot the crabs, fish and starfish right away. And since you're early, the canyon is completely empty when you enter so you can spot the animals in the most natural environment. We were lucky and spotted a few monkeys right at the start with a sea eagle flying over head. And also some walking fish and a diving monkey that went for a swim.

        The tour was great and informative, we can highly recommend the experience!

        Excellent Trip. Driver extremely friendly and patient - even though we changed our pickup location at the last minute, he came over to pick us up without any complaints.

        Guide also had a wealth of knowledge under his belt, telling us about mangroves, the Thai diaspora and talking about anything under the weather.

        After the trip was over, he cut up fruits and was extremely accommodating to the customers. Would definitely reccomend this to other keen travellers that are curious to learn more.
