Krabi, Thailand · 4h 30min · ฿3,500 per session · EN
Guide A was the best guide we had in Thailand. Very good English, funny, took care of us. We arrived at the start of the incoming tide (that matters) and a group of three kayaks came together — six people. Very comfortable.
What is this tour like?
This is Sea Kayak Krabi's evening product: a paddle that starts at 15:00, runs into the sunset and finishes with a barbecue at the operator's café at 19:30.
The operator's package page describes it in three lines — evening paddle, sunset views, barbecue at the café — and gives the price as 3,500 ฿ for the 15:00–19:30 slot. It does not describe the route in more detail, and we do not invent one: the water is the same Ao Thalane the company has worked since 1995.
As with the operator's other packages, the page does not say whether the amount is per paddler or per kayak. We confirm the unit, the meeting time and what the barbecue includes with the operator before your booking is final.

- Evening slot, 15:00 to 19:30 — the bay after the day boats have gone

“Guide A was the best guide we had in Thailand. Very good English, funny, took care of us. We arrived at the start of the incoming tide (that matters) and a group of three kayaks came together — six people. Very comfortable.”
“Probably the best kayaking in Thailand. On the route we met monkeys, mangroves, caves, a small wild beach, a monitor lizard swimming past, gorgeous views. I definitely recommend the long loop.”
