Nervous, challenging and exciting, all rolled into one!
A big thank you to Chai at Hot Rocks for our rock climing trip. He was calm and patient giving clear instructions. We had a brilliant morning, I achieved something I never imagined at 53 and my son at 15 has found something new that's exciting and challenging.... that I know he will want to continue doing. Thank you 🙏
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for your time spent with us

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Great climbing school and guide for beginners to advanced — smaller group, safe, and technically skilled
I joined Hot Rock Climbing School during my stay in Krabi and had a fantastic experience. Por, the guide, is professional and capable of supporting climbers of all levels - from absolute beginners to advanced, kids to seniors. He is also an experienced climber himself, climbing in Railay, Tonsai, and surrounding walls for more than a decade. Safety First - Safety is always the top priority. Por carefully checked harnesses and ropes, and gave clear briefings before each climb. I've seen tired ropes at other schools but here, everything is very well maintained and clean. He knows the local crags, tide, and weather conditions very well, always choosing the best location for the day. Tailored Experience - Hot Rock offers smaller groups compared to some other schools in Krabi, which makes the sessions more personal and enjoyable. Por adjusts the pace and challenges to fit each climber, making it beginner-friendly while still engaging for advanced climbers. For larger groups or corporate events, the school can team up instructors to accommodate everyone. Beginner-Friendly Yet Inspiring - As someone still new to outdoor climbing, I appreciated that there was no pressure to overperform. Por respected my pace, which allowed me to enjoy the spectacular views and sound of waves, taking photos while gradually building confidence. ✔️ Why this school and Por stand out: ▶️Beginner-friendly, great for first-time outdoor climbing, whether top rope or learning to lead. ▶️Equally capable with intermediate and advanced climbers. ▶️Deep local knowledge of rocks, routes, weather, and the best photo spots. ▶️Encourages mindful climbing without pushing too hard. ▶️Good team and communication. Multi-lingual, Thai, English, simple Mandarin, simple Japanese, and Korean? Ask Por directly if I'm missing any language. Highly recommended for anyone looking to climb in Krabi - whether you’re trying outdoor climbing for the first time or looking to improve your skills in one of the most scenic climbing spots in the world. 如果你想在甲米攀岩,我推荐英俊且经验丰富的 Por。提供简单中文课程🐷他在小红书上也很受欢迎✌🏼😁 日本では少し敷居の高い外岩ですが、タイのクラビでは半日コースから挑戦できて、登った後はびっくりするほど綺麗な景色を堪能することが出来ます。ロッククライミング初めてという人でも登れる、階段のようなグレードから、上級者でも楽しめるグレードまで、ホットロッククライミングスクールでは少人数のクラスで対応しています。ガイドのPor(ポー)さんは簡単な日本語(と若干の専門用語・・「回収お願いします」とか)で安全に楽しく、初心者から中・上級者まで丁寧に面倒を見てくれてオススメです。トップロープ、リードクライミング、共に対応していて、持ち物は水とタオルなど最低限必要なもの持っていけば、後はスクールの方で料金内で貸してもらえます。もちろん、シューズやハーネスなど持参しても大丈夫です。 クラビ(ライレイ、トンサイと呼ばれるエリア)は雨季でも終日雨のことは少なく、また、洞窟のような雨宿りできる場所で登ることが出来るので、日本の夏休みシーズンでもクライミングに挑戦出来ます。是非、世界有数の絶景を背景に美しい海と波の音を聞きながら、チャレンジしてみてください。
Response from the operator: Wow thank you very much Por is a valuable member off our team and a great professional guide We happy you satisfied with the service

Amazing climbers and people
My first time climbing with Hot Rock was in 2001 and now back with the family for the third time. They are not just world class climbers but wonderful and amazing people. The whole family had a lot of fun while advancing our climbing skills. Despite being a slightly fear of heights Po, Phon and the team made us feel safe at all times. Only 2-4 people per instructor which was perfect. Can recommend Hot Rock to anyone looking for a great experience!
Response from the operator: Charlotta It’s work see guest come back and bring their family We so happy you and your family had a great experience once again with our team Please keep come back

Why this scores 66
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Joined Group Half day: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.
How much does Joined Group Half day cost?
+
Prices start at $58 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Krabi usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Joined Group Half day take?
+
Plan for about 4 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Krabi is not rushed.
Is Joined Group Half day worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 14 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Krabi, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Joined Group Half day?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Joined Group Half day suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Joined Group Half day?
+
Around 5 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Krabi can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Krabi and add a light layer if any part of the 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Joined Group Half day start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Krabi within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Krabi?
+
On Outty we rank every Krabi experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Krabi 7 Island Sunset & BBQ Dinner (Join Tour), Deep Mangrove and Canyon Kayak Tour in Krabi, Phi Phi Early Bird & 4 Islands - Day Tour by Speedboat From Krabi. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Krabi?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Krabi?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Joined Group Half day?
+
Included: Caving Repelling an option; Bat-cave an option; and Rock climbing an option. Not included: Lunch; Dinner; Snacks; and Private transportation. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Joined Group Half day?
+
Follow Google map and we meet up in hot rock climbing school on railay beach Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Joined Group Half day offered in?
+
It is offered in Swedish, Thai and English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.
Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Joined Group Half day?
+
Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.
Is Joined Group Half day wheelchair or stroller accessible?
+
The operator notes: Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

+
This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.
