Krabi Outback Explorer to Emerald Pool, Wareerak Hotspring and Beyond

Did not blow me away just average....

Paid for the full day with 30min ATV at the end. I felt the activitity to be very unorganised and the guides being unable to speak english fully strange. Oddly not far from the activity we had to stop and wait for Van 2 to show up then some passengers was swopped from the vans. The Emerald spring was nothing special, the Blue Pool I found to be so much better with the trek through the forest to get to it amazing. The hot springs again nothing amazing here too the hot springs are natural but they are housed in a man-made structure around them which i felt spoilt them.The best part for me was the ATV ride at the end which I choose,the course we took was really good and testing...but you could also choose Kayaking or the Tiger Temple. Overall 4/5 slightly pricey and the food was basic.

Emerald pools and Tiger Temple venture

Emerald pools was busy . Hot springs was nice but their gardener started chopping the trees and bushes with a gasoline trimmer that emitted a lot of smoke and pollution that ruined the ambiance of relaxation there & I had to put on a mask to not inhale the toxic carbon dioxide & smoke. Trip to the Tiger temple was ok. The steps were very steep and not worth it unless you like the challenge of the hike & sweat in the hot weather. Tour guide was funny and pick up Van arrived on time.

Response from the operator: Dear Tam_D Thank you for your feedback on your recent tour with us. We're glad you enjoyed the hot springs and the humor of your tour guide. We appreciate you letting us know about the busy crowds at Emerald Pools and the unpleasant experience with the gardener using a gasoline trimmer. We understand how the smoke and fumes could have disrupted the relaxing atmosphere. We'll definitely address this with the park management to see if there are alternative landscaping methods that can be used. Regarding the Tiger Temple, we understand the steep steps can be challenging, especially in hot weather. It's definitely a workout! We may want to consider adding a disclaimer to the tour description to better manage expectations. Thank you again for your feedback. We continuously strive to improve our tours and your comments help us ensure a more enjoyable experience for all our customers.

They call it a half day trip but in reality we wasted an entire day on an hour of activity.

Could have been a lovely trip but turned into a V mark on the sites. Lots of delays. The pick up from the hotel was on time at 8am, but for some reason we had to wait for another group before entering the Emerald Pool. The walk towards the Emerald Pool is exactly 1 kilometer. In the program it should be a slow walk of about half an hour. In practice, to make up for the delay, there was a quick fifteen-minute walk, with no explanations along the way. And instead of spending an hour in the pool, allocate only 45 minutes. The hot springs were also only about half an hour instead of an hour. In the end we returned to the hotel at 4 pm. They call it a half-day trip, but in reality we wasted a whole day on an hour and a half of experiences and everything else was waiting and driving. disappointed.

Response from the operator: Dear Lior I'm sorry to hear that you had a disappointing experience on the Krabi Outback Explorer tour. It sounds like there were a number of factors that contributed to your dissatisfaction, including delays, a rushed schedule, and a lack of information. I understand that you were looking forward to spending more time at the Emerald Pool and the hot springs, and I'm sorry that you didn't have the opportunity to do so. I've reached out to the tour operator to let them know about your feedback, and I hope that they will take your comments into consideration in the future. I hope that you are able to have a more enjoyable experience on your next trip to Krabi.
