What people are saying about Krabi
The day trip was exceptional. Amazing value for the price. Tour guide was friendly and willing to explain things and take photos. I only wish we had more time to spend at each of the locations (esp. the emerald pool and hot springs) so we could have done some additional exploring. I didn't realize how far apart all the locations are from each other, so plan on being in transit for a good chunk of time. They do provide van snacks and bottled water. Overall, best day we spent in Thailand.
It was pretty easy to get places or though doesn’t say that you have to pay an entry fee upon arrival which would have been more ideal. Also, make sure you have cash with you as it charges an extra person with card; though this was kind of expected with the card fees here. Otherwise was super fun and accessing pictures is really easy so you don’t have to worry too much about taking some yourself. :).
i booked this through agoda and the booking experience is very easy. The driver who picked me up is very nice. I arrived at the hotel earlier than the normal check in time and the property does not have 24/7 reception. even though it is beyond his duty, he waited for me to check in at the hotel successfully and made sure i have a place to stay. thank you!
We had a wonderful time on this tour! Pickup and drop off was super convenient. It was raining for most of our tour, but the best ATV experiences are the ones in the rain! Would definitely recommend to others!
Amazing and fun experience! You get to fly all day and there’s a bit of a workout too :) challenging routes. Super fun! Great guides, you can become friends after. Highly recommend
