12:00 – 13:00
It starts with a private hotel pickup in Phuket. You will be greeted by our driver who is at your service, full time, to help you shake off all and leave for the pier with peace of mind and relaxed and ready to enjoy a well-planned afternoon.
13:30
Your pickup location is Ao Por Pier, situated at the northeastern tip of Phuket Island. That’s where you’ll meet your kayaking guide and hop aboard a large, private boat that will whisk you across the emerald waters of Phang Nga Bay.
14:00
Enjoy some cruising time throughout the wonder of Ha Long Bay, before arriving at your first kayaking stop, a peaceful lagoon, and here you will be able to relax in the clean, calm water. Your boat anchors, and your guide gives a brief kayaking instruction as you don your gear and start your paddle.
14:30 – 16:00
Paddle through the tranquil waters of Phang Nga Bay at your own pace throughout the day. You’ll paddle under towering rock formations, through arched passages, and into secret lagoons that can only be accessed at low tide. Along the route, you will also travel through thick mangrove forests, see local wildlife, and become enveloped by the peaceful and magical beauty of this terrain.
16:00 – 17:00
Hop back on the boat, where you’ll enjoy a gourmet seafood buffet, evening breezes. Dine on BBQ prawns, Thai-style treats and tropical fruit, moored among the karsts. It’s time to put your feet up, enjoy the view, and watch the golden light of sunset shimmer on the water.
17:15 – 18:00
After dinner, the boat sails toward a floating village, one of the bay’s most intriguing cultural sites. You’ll also have time to stroll wooden boardwalks, mingle with local fishermen, and learn about this time-honored, sea-based way of life that has been passed down through generations.
18:30 – 19:30
When the evening approaches, you head back to Ao Por Pier by your boat. From here, your private transfer will return to your hotel, ending a memorable day of Thailand Kayak Tours in comfort and ease.

This luxury sea kayak tour Thailand is ideal for:
What makes the trip so special isn’t just the views, it’s the experience. A dazzling mangrove kayaking destination that is said to be one of the prettiest in the whole of Southeast Asia is Ao Thalane. Here, your paddle becomes a key to unlock the serenity of calm waters, vertical limestone cliffs, and natural rock tunnels that seem like the ancient portals to another world.
Each turn of the river holds something new: A flock of white egrets breaking into flight from the branches, a monkey darting along the banks, a crab scuttling sideways up a tangle of roots. Here is where nature talks the loudest, and the travelers slow down to listen.
This experience is among the top Thailand kayaking tours for nature lovers, photographers, and anyone seeking a true intimacy with the land.

You can go half-day (great for early risers or sunset paddlers) or turn it into a full-day adventure by pairing it with other activities such as:
08:00 – 09:00
Transfer from your hotel in Krabi or Ao Nang. Travel by car to Ao Thalane village and meet your kayaking guide, who will provide instruction on paddling and safety.
09:30 – 11:30
Start paddling deeper into the mangrove forest. Paddle through tight waterways flanked by lush green overhanging snorkel-filled trees, navigate limestone cliffs, and continue through grotto-lined tunnels, reachable only by kayak. The still waters make this route perfect for even beginners.
11:30 – 12:30 (Optional)
If you are on a full-day trip, stop for a picnic lunch made from local ingredients. Relax on the riverbank or a secluded sandbar.
13:00 – 14:00 (Optional Add-on)
Paddle further upstream in the estuary or upgrade to a guided jungle walk and explore incredible plant life. Alternatively, wind down with a post-tour spa and wellness treatment on your return to Krabi.
14:30 – 15:00
Return to Ao Thalane pier and head back to the hotel feeling rejuvenated, reattached, and completely inspired!

08:00 – 09:00
Hotel pick-up from Krabi or Ao Nang. Kick off the day with a beautiful ride to Ao Thalane village, where you meet your kayaking guide, who provides a brief rundown of safety and kayak operation.
09:30 – 11:30
Start to paddle inside and go into the middle of the mangrove forest. Journey through tight waterways snaked between walls of green and lush foliage, limestone canyons, coves, and mysterious caves that can only be reached via kayak. The quiet water makes this an ideal stretch for even paddlers with a beginner level of ability.
11:30 – 12:30 (Optional)
If you’re on a full-day trip, pause for a picnic lunch made from local ingredients. Find a riverbank that is relatively quiet or a sandbar to settle down on.
13:00 – 14:00 (Optional Add-on)
Paddle further into the estuary and explore, or take a guided jungle walk and learn about the indigenous flora. Or, treat yourself to a soak in a spa or wellness center back in Krabi.
14:30 – 15:00
Head back to Ao Thalane pier and return to your hotel feeling refreshed, recharged, and inspired.
