Explore the distinctive mangrove maze of Khao Garos in the north of Krabi on a spectacular eco-friendly kayak trip through narrow canyons to the hidden lagoon of Ao Thueak and to the Bat Cave. In the afternoon you can cool off by taking a dip in the crystal clear stream of the Tha Pom Klong Song Nam swamp forest where freshwater meets the salty Andaman Sea water during high tide.

Get picked up by local Thai style lorry from your hotel in Krabi and enjoy a scenic drive through rural villages to the rugged coastline of Ao Luk Noi in the north of Krabi. Meet the lovely crew of Blue Anda Krabi Travel at Wang Toh Tao Pier near Nai Nang village where you will undergo a short health check-up.

Start paddling into the bay of Khao Garos together with your knowledgeable local guide. Enter a maze of mangrove surrounded natural waterways that are connected to the Andaman Sea. Scores of steep, bizarrely shaped karst formations protrude from the mangrove forests, adding a dramatic and distinctive touch to this region.

Enter small passages and follow the course of the river until you reach the secret lagoon of Ao Thueak where you can take a refreshing dip in calm water. You will also visit the natural attraction known as ‘Bat Cave’, a sea cave that was formed by tectonically and erosional processes.

Return back to the pier and enjoy a typical Thai style lunch in Baan Rai Nai Suan. Then it is time to cool off in the swamp forest of Tha Pom Klong Song Nam where you can walk on a natural trail along the fresh water stream. The stream is actually fresh water springs mixed with the salty Andaman Sea water which is why Tha Pom is called Klong Song Nam meaning “two water canal”. The thick roots are well suited to handle an unpredictable mixture of fresh and salt water. The wooden walkway with chairs will lead you through the crystal clear water in the mangrove forest, the perfect spots for taking some photos before the driver will bring you back to the hotel with lasting memories.
