The Experience

Before You Go

Book morning slots

Mornings are cooler and drier; earlier departures avoid peak heat and afternoon rain that can delay or shorten runs.

Wear closed-toe shoes

Sturdy trainers or hiking shoes protect toes during climbs, ladders and ATV transfers — sandals are not suitable.

Mind the weight limit

There’s a 120 kg (approx. 265 lb) maximum weight — check ahead if you’re near the limit to avoid surprises at check-in.

Bring a refillable bottle

Drinking water is provided, but a personal bottle keeps you hydrated between stations and reduces plastic waste.

Local Knowledge

Hidden Gems

  • Sunrise viewpoints on nearby limestone outcrops for quiet coastal views outside Ao Nang’s beaches
  • A short walk to small hilltop palms used by local villagers for a clear view of the karsts — best at golden hour

Wildlife

  • Long-tailed macaque (often in forest edges)
  • Tropical birds such as hornbills and kingfishers in the canopy

Conservation Note

Operators are increasingly adopting low-impact practices — stay on marked paths, avoid feeding wildlife and use provided water stations to reduce single-use plastics.

Krabi’s karsts formed from ancient marine limestone and later became important coastal landmarks for Malay and Thai seafaring communities; modern tourism grew with rock-climbing and beach access in the late 20th century.
