Full description

This is a 2.5-hour experience in Krabi. It is run by Guide GURU X, an operator we book with directly rather than through a reseller, which is why we can hold your place with them before we treat your booking as final.

Airport transfers in Japan compete with excellent trains: Narita Express and the Keisei Skyliner from Narita, the monorail and Keikyu line from Haneda, and the Haruka from Kansai airport to Kyoto. A private transfer earns its price with luggage, late arrivals after the last train around midnight, families, and hotels away from stations. Drivers meet at arrivals with a name board, and Japanese cars have small boots, so state the number of large suitcases when booking. Tolls are included in most quotes; confirm.

The price covers Hotel pickup and drop-off in Ao Nang area, Bottled water, Seasonal fruits and Waterproof Bag. It does not cover Boat transfer from Railay Beach and Food and drinks, so budget for those separately. Everything included is listed in full on this page; if something is not on that list, assume it is not in the price.

Ao Nang. We need at least one day's notice, and we confirm the date with Guide GURU X before treating your booking as final. If they cannot take your date we tell you and refund you rather than leave you waiting.

We had an amazing experience and our guide was especially excellent. We got really lucky. The kayak was good, we went out as a couple in ours. They also gave us water and a wet bag which was very handy. The location is excellent and we did not even realise they filmed some of the latest Jurassic World movie there so that was great. The only thing is that the duration says 2.5 hours but the itinerary is longer than that. They were super accommodating for us as we had to be back for our ferry after 2.5 hours so they made sure we were back on time. Highly recommend this.

Loved the whole experience from start to end. Driver came exactly on time, was very polite and friendly and didn’t rush us. We began with the pineapple farm, then kayaking through the forest, ending with feeding huge carps. Kayaking was challenging as there were wood chunks and trees underwater on which our kayak got stuck multiple times, but our guide was quick to help us get back on track every time. Really lovely views and relaxing experience. I’d say I enjoyed this a lot more than the crowded boat tours for island hopping. They provided us with water, pineapple and watermelon, as well as a

We had the most amazing day, everything was so well organised, the staff were a extremely friendly and such a beautiful place to do such a fun activity. Our guide Doha (hope that’s how to spell his name) was fantastic. He was super patient - he helped us when we got stuck on some of the stumps we didn’t see and even helped us spot a mangrove snake hidden in the trees! Ample water was provided throughout the day and we even got a fruit platter at the end. We also had a dabble at archery which was a great way to finish off the day. I would absolutely recommend this excursion to anyone staying in

Really good experience. Lovely scenery. Nice paddling. Bottled water and fruit given to us. Gave us fish food at the end to feed the fish. Generally a great experience. Would recommend wearing dive shoes for the swimming part. This was a little busy and difficult to get in and out of the boats. Also a little more instruction when you first get into the boats as the river bed was difficult to negotiate at times.

it was lovely to kayak in the mangroves, would recommend it even if the organization is a bit lackying, tour does not end on time and has you waiting around for 40 minutes, probably in hopes for you to buy food and drinks from the place.

The staff was super friendly espacially Harid. We had a great time on the water. Some spaces were a little bit tight and chaotic due to many kayaks but it also made it fun. Kinda like an obstacle course. The pineapple from thw farm was delicious. Would do it again :)
