The
crystal water, sea-cliffs,and mangrove-rimmed canals are the charms
that make Krabi a wonderful
site for kayaking. There are options of rental from hour to half
-day or day trips into the spectacular and remote mangrove channels,
Ao Tha Lane and Ao Luk, where you can see monkeys, otters and many
beautiful birds. Krabi river
is another exciting site for kayaking. The Hong Island is further
away but an unforgettable experience.
Sea Canoeing or Cayaking
Sea
Canoe takes you in inflatable sea kayaks inside and around some
of the world's most stunning limestone formations that jut vertically
out of the sea for up to several hundred feet. Called karsts, they
dot the area in great array around Phuket,
Phang-Nga and Krabi provinces.
The Sea Canoe "Easy Self-Paddle Level" trips will enable
you to effortlessly paddle right up to these weathered rock formations
colourfully streaked with hues of black, tan, ivory, grey and red.
At just the right tide you will also be able to enter inside through
tunnels and discover a magic wonderland; looking up you will see
an untouched habitat where Sea eagles and Bramany Kites fly whilst
monkeys play among the orchids, rare palms and other unique flora
.
At Krabi other canoeing activity options include exploration of
a chain of rock gardens and semi-Hong's filled with mangroves. After
the morning mangrove paddle, lunch is served before taking on the
"Krabi Klong", a tidal ravine that splits the island,
before finally returning to the Talin pier.
