Underground · KRABI CAVE TOURS
Underground days are short and the entrance is rarely near the hotel, so the choice matters. These 11 krabi cave tours are priced and timed to be decided in a couple of minutes.
Spend nine hours exploring Krabi’s Emerald Pool, Blue Pool, hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple with an English-speaking guide and up to eight other guests. Expect a forest walk, swimming, lunch at a local restaurant, a steep climb of roughly 1,200 steps, and helpful timing designed to avoid the worst crowds.
“Everything was perfect! Thank you Arun for that amazing trip :)”
Spend an afternoon and evening exploring Phra Nang Beach, Diamond Cave, and Railay Beach with an English-speaking guide such as Jess, Peter, or Leen. Expect limestone cliffs, monkeys, rock climbers, sunset, free time for food, and a final swim among glowing plankton. National park fees and meals cost extra.
“Great excursion. Special views while sailing towards Railay, it's not for nothing that it is one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. The guide is very kind, caring and attentive. The excursion is perfectly planned, there was no need to rush anywhere. Nice fruit and juice breaks. On the way back, the transport was a little late, but there were no major inconveniences.”
Spend about nine hours exploring Krabi’s hot spring waterfall, Emerald Pool, Blue Pool, and Tiger Cave Temple. Pickup is offered from Ao Nang, Krabi Town, and Klong Muang. Lunch, park fees, and round-trip transport are included. Guides may include Mimi, Abhi, or Ohm. The 1,260-step temple climb is optional but very demanding.
“It was a very beautiful journey. Originally wanted just the Emerald Pool and Tiger Cave experience, but the Hot Springs were surprisingly amazing! Wished we could have spent more time in the national park. The day was very hot so the trek up to the Buddha was a bit of a challenge but worth it. Ohm (sp?) was our guide and we all really like her. Very sweet, kind and patient. True Thailand hospitality. Thank you.”
Spend about eight hours exploring Krabi’s Emerald Pool, Blue Lagoon, Namtok Ron hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple. Expect forest walking, warm water, an air-conditioned vehicle, and an English-speaking guide such as Otto, Tookey, Tim, or AD. The 1,260-step temple climb is optional but demanding. Entrance fees and lunch cost extra.
“A great way of seeing nature in Krabi! We expected a group tour but ended up being just us, the guide Otto and driver Leo which was great. Otto and Leo were amazing and knew how to get everywhere when it wasn’t busy so we avoided the crowds. The emerald pool and area are beautiful (we were the first people there!) and the hot springs really relaxing to sit in for half an hour. Beware of the tiger cave temple though - there was an extremely aggressive pack of monkeys at the top guarding the stairs. They ripped the backpack off my back and stole my camera (luckily I got…”
This private Krabi tour pairs the 1,200-step climb at Tiger Cave Temple with the giant black crab statue, mangrove views, Khao Khanap Nam, and Maharat Fresh Market. Hotel pickup, water, fruit, a refreshing towel, and an English-speaking driver-guide are included. Guides such as Palm and Nina have been praised for friendly, flexible service.
“Our guide Palm was very kind and listened to our wishes and priorities.”
Spend eight hours exploring inland Krabi with an English-speaking guide such as Chow, also listed as Chaow. Walk through forest to the Emerald Pool, relax in geothermal springs, eat lunch, then tackle 1,260 steps at Tiger Cave Temple. Transfers, water, fruit, a cool towel, raincoat, and lunch are included, with park fees extra.
“A great day to spend exploring inland, away from the Andaman islands. The short jungle trek to the pools is well worth it. Best to take the dip in the Emerald Pool after the walk to the Blue Pool. Lunch was good, as were the Hot Springs. The afternoon stair hike to the top of the hill at Tiger Cave Temple is a challenge, but the sight is worth it – or spend your time discovering the other attractions at the compound. Our guide, Chaow, did a grand job keeping us on track and time, kudoz.”
Spend five hours exploring Krabi by longtail boat, from the limestone cliffs and cave at Phra Nang Beach to a nighttime swim with fluorescent plankton. Your English-speaking guide provides snorkeling gear, life jackets, dinner, drinks, and hotel transfers. The group is limited to nine, though several boats may share the same beach and swimming area.
“My tour got cancelled but they managed to upgrade my tour to the 7 island tour. I appreciated the effort, it was a beautiful experience. The bioluminescent plankton were so worth it! JUST FYI- the BBQ was not freshly made on the beach and so the food was cold. The groups were also quite large for my taste.”
Start with hotel pickup in Krabi, then cruise the mangroves from the Black Crab Sculpture Pier before exploring Khao Khanap Nam Cave. An English-speaking guide, sometimes identified as Kip, explains the paintings, bones, stalactites, and former cave life. The full outing includes transfers and may feel shorter than two hours.
“Ingen forbedringsforslag, alt var, som det skulle være🤩”
Spend eight hours beyond Krabi’s beaches, walking through Khao Pra Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary, swimming at Emerald Pool, viewing Blue Pool when open, and soaking at private Wareerak Spa. After a Thai lunch, visit Tiger Cave Temple. Guide Lucky has been praised for his humor, though guide detail can vary.
“Très belle journée à la découverte de la jungle thaïlandaise, des différentes sources, et du temple de la grotte du tigre. Le guide, Lucky, était sympathique et drôle. À faire lors de son séjour à Krabi !”
Spend eight private hours visiting Krabi’s Emerald Pool, Hot Stream, and Tiger Cave Temple. Your English or Thai-speaking driver provides hotel pickup, private transport, fuel, and insurance, while you set the pace. Expect jungle walking, swimming, hot mineral water, and a demanding 1,200-step climb. Entrance fees and lunch cost extra.
“Really enjoyed it and it was the Cattery service that picked us up straight from the hotel with no rush at the destinations we had gone too. We had a private x2 person and it was super chilled with no problems at all. Would use again”
Leave Krabi’s beach areas for Bor Thor kayaking, Hua Ga Lok Cave’s ancient paintings, and Klang Cave’s 13 halls. Then visit Wat Maha That Wachiramongkol, formerly Bang Tong Temple. English-speaking guides such as Bee and Maan lead the day, with lunch, hotel transfers, a flashlight, and accident insurance included.
Pick a coast, a country or a kind of cave.
