Krabi is one of Thailand's
most pristine areas, and activities for the visitor abound.
Excursions to various islands, snorkelling, and hiking in
the national parks are some of the activities available.
Island Excursions
It's a good idea to take
the time to visit some of the beautiful islands surrounding
Krabi by taking a day cruise.
This can be done through local
fishermen or tour operators who run the traditional longtail
boats. There are several more upmarket alternatives, also.
Agencies like Ao Nang Travel and Tour Co. include stopovers
at major scenic spots like PP Island, or Lanta Island, swim
and snorkel stops at secluded beaches and spots of interest.
Tours on traditional Chines-style junks can also be arranged.
There are plenty of fabulous
opportunities for snorkelling and diving around the Krabi
area.
Most of the good spots can be
reached on day tours out of the major beaches and resorts.
The islands around Phi Phi are a favourite spot. Coral and
myriad species of tropical fish can be enjoyed.
There are also several diving schools around the main beach
areas for those wanting a little adventure.
Hiking and Rock Climbing
Krabi has some of the best
National Parks in the south of Thailand, if not the whole
country.
Krabi Cliffs
With dense jungle, towering cliffs,
rivers and waterfalls, this is the ideal location for hiking
day trips, especially to the many National Parks.
Krabi has also become know as somewhat as a Mecca for rock
climbing, especially around the Ri Ley beach area near Ao
Nang. Many schools offer courses and the area abounds with
sheers limestone clif faces to practice on.
