Explore the sea caves of Ao Luk on a kayak tour led by an experienced guide. Paddle around lagoons and mangrove stands to caverns such as Tham Phee Hua Toh, decorated with stalactites and prehistoric paintings. Between kayak explorations, enjoy a Thai lunch in Bor Thor village, and later stop for a swim and snack in the crystalline stream of Tha Pom. Round-trip hotel transport from Krabi is included on this full-day tour.
Following hotel pickup in the morning, you’re transferred by air-conditioned minivan to Bor Thor, a small fishing village in the Ao Luk district, located about 25 miles (40 km) from Krabi. Drive through the rainforest and an oil palm plantation to the village for a kayak demonstration and route orientation.
Once you get settled in your boat, glide through a lovely mangrove forest as you paddle around Khlong Pling. Your guide points out stalactites and stalagmites at the entrance of sea caves in the Ao Luk district, such as Tham Phee Hua Toh, a large, airy cavern with many prehistoric wall paintings and layers of shell formations providing insight to archaeologists.
After a couple hours exploring the waterway, head back to the village around noon for a delicious home-cooked Thai lunch.
With your appetite sated, set out for an afternoon kayak trip of about an hour, paddling toward a hidden lagoon surrounded by limestone rock. Follow your guide to more sea caves — Tham Lot, Tham Khao Wong and Tham Lod Nua. You can also visit a small rubber-production village at low tide.
When you disembark at Bor Thor village, you’ll visit the natural, crystal-clear stream of Tha Pom for swimming and refreshments before departing for your Krabi hotel.
