Krabi Beaches and Mangroves 3 Nights / 4 Days

Trip Grade : Easy and exciting

Highlights of Krabi:
Krabi has one of the most spectacular beaches and islands made up of craggy limestone cliffs.  Railey Beach is one of the most exclusive destinations that are surrounded by a sheer wall of craggy limestone cliffs.  These cliffs cut off from the mainland, prohibits vehicle access. Hence, the sandy beach is undisturbed by rocks or coral and slopes gently into the sea, which is studded with small craggy islands and coral sea gardens.  Railey Beach is also a popular destination for rock climbers for both experienced and beginners, from around the world.

Accommodations of various standards are available at Railey Beach and Ao Nang Beach. Railey Beach has individual cottages of several standards, middle class and tourist class, all shaded by the original coconut palms. Ao Nang Beach, located nearby, has many choices of accommodations, luxury to tourist class hotel resorts. Meals are available at several restaurants on the beach, all serving local Thai and Western cuisine at reasonable prices. 

The many craggy karsts islands visible from the beaches are ideal for boating and snorkeling.  There is considerable exploring to do nearby.  Outside and inside the many limestone cliffs, the possibilities for rock climbing and caving are infinite. 

Our trips take you through tidal tunnels to the pristine center of craggy limestone islands with lagoons to see untouched lush vegetation and wildlife with its spectacular vertical cliffs and through the thick mangrove forest and limestone cliffs on the bay.
