One Perfect Day Exploring Ao Thalane, Thailand

Our worst day in Thailand weather-wise turned into one of the best days of our visit. Being flexible, going with the flow, suiting-up and showing up are all key to having a great vacation. Here is how you can have a great day trip from Krabi, Thailand full of fun, energy and discovery.

This itinerary will help you have a perfect day when you are in the Krabi area – complete with sea kayaking in the beautiful Ao Thalane area. You are going to get wet on this trip, even if it isn’t pouring rain like our visit, so dress and pack appropriately. The tour outfitter will likely provide water, a small dry bag, and some snacks as part of the tour package.

How to get there

We recommend the half-day tour of Ao Thalane with SeaKayak Krabi. When you book your tour, you can make arrangements to get picked up at your hotel in the greater Krabi area. It couldn’t have been easier – the tour operator arrived with a van at our hotel about 8:30AM, and it was just a short 45 minute scenic drive to the kayaking center.

When to go

The best time to experience Ao Thalane by sea kayak is during high tide. Be sure to check the tides before scheduling – it will help you enjoy this half-day adventure the most.
