    Do It!!! Incredible Sunset over Krabi

    This was an excellent adventure and well worth the money. It is a 2 hour sunset kayak experience and our guide, Dam, was so friendly, funny and nice. We were with another family in 2 separate kayaks who were unable to paddle any longer and got tired (lol) so Dam tied the kayaks to his and paddled the entire way back with them and was joking and laughing the whole time, said he was Superman haha. Definitely going above and beyond. The scenery is just incredible. Seeing the sun set over the Krabi cliffs was breathtaking and my partner and I really enjoyed it. The tide was low so we didn’t go all the way into the mangroves, but we did go into some and it was actually really cool seeing all the crabs and creatures scittering on the sand bars due to low tide. One of my favorite parts were the crabs! :) So cute. Also, they give you fresh fruit after to complete the experience and everyone was so friendly. Please ignore the 1 star review, as this was an amazing trip. <3 Thank you Dam and True Leisure!!!! We will be back.

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your wonderful and detailed review. We’re truly delighted to hear that you had such an excellent adventure and that it was well worth the experience. Thank you again for your kind words and support. We truly appreciate it and look forward to welcoming you back in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Dam aka superman

    Dam was an amazing guide! He worked very hard and single handedly rowed an entire family (two kayaks/four people) with a smile on his face the whole time. Would highly recommend him and this tour. The tide was low unfortunately so we were unable to do the whole thing, however it was still a beautiful experience! I would say ask ahead on the tide status prior to booking perhaps or call etc. Thank you Dam!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for sharing your wonderful review. We’re delighted to hear that Dam made such a positive impression with his hard work, dedication, and great attitude. While we regret that the low tide limited part of the route, we’re glad to know that you still found the experience beautiful and enjoyable. We also appreciate your helpful suggestion regarding checking tide conditions in advance. Thank you again for your recommendation, and we hope to welcome you back for another experience in the future. Best Regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Very bad communication, Long and Dangerours Pickup and Low Tide made it not worth it

    They didn't respond to my emails or whatsapp so I had to wait for one hour in the lobby of the hotel because I didn't know when was the pickup. They didn't mention that the tide would make it impossible to do the full trip on certain times of the day. The return of the hotel was in an open pickup with side seats for 45 minutes and going very fast without any safety in mind.

    Response from the operator: Dear valued customer, Thank you for sharing your experience with us. We deeply apologize for the lack of communication regarding the pick-up time and the issues you faced with the return transfer. We understand how frustrating this must have been, and we will work closely with our partners to improve responsiveness and ensure better clarity about the trip details, including tide-related changes. Your safety and comfort are our top priority, and we will address the concerns about the return journey to avoid similar situations in the future. Best regards, Oh-Hoo Team

    Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Krabi.

    How much does Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane cost?

    +

    Prices start at $42 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 Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 55 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.8/5 across 4 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 Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane?

    +

    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 Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane?

    +

    Around 1 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Krabi Mangrove Sunset Kayak Trip at Ao Thalane 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 Full-Day Phi Phi Islands Tour with Lunch from Krabi, Phi Phi Early Bird & 4 Islands - Day Tour by Speedboat From Krabi, Railay and 4-Island Sunset Speedboat Cruise with Night Snorkel. 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.
