Travel Activities in Krabi

Sea Canoeing
Canoeing One of several eco-tourism activities available in Krabi is sea-canoeing, and there are few better ways to thoroughly enjoy the spectacular scenery than by drifting leisurely amongst the limestone karsts. This is perhaps the best way to explore Krabi's countless inlets and deserted beaches, allowing travellers to discover the true magic of the area at their own pace.


Kayaking
Kayaking is available in the waters off Krabi and Phang-nga provinces, which boast some of the most spectacular seascapes and marine life anywhere. The sport is accessible to beginners and veterans alike, since operators offer training at the start of the trip.

The sea-kayaking centre is at Ao Nang, which blends the rugged appeal of rocky outcrops with the serene beauty of beaches and crystal-clear water. Off its shore lie limestone outcrops honeycombed with caves and hollows and fringed by mangrove forests.

Canoe and kayak rentals are available at many of the guesthouses in the Ao Nang area, and guides are also available to lead you through the myriad of small, deserted islands.


Diving
Krabi's waters are great for snorkeling and scuba diving. Popular sites include: Koh Poda, Koh Hong, Koh Yung, Koh Phi Phi Ley, Hin Muang and Hin Dang Reefs, Koh Rok and Koh Ngai. Many companies cater to divers of every level and pocket book; most are located at Ao Nang, Krabi Town, Phi Phi Don Island , and Koh Lanta.
