ECO TOURS
Krabi province contains superb natural scenery with jungle covered limestone cliffs, rock formations, hot springs and mangroves as well as islands and beaches. Distinct from the rest of Thailand, with influences from Malaysia, the local culture has retained many of its traditions and remains largely unaffected by tourism, making the area quite unique. Tours are available, (mostly in Land Rover type vehicles) which explore the countryside, travelling on back roads, though small villages, oil palm and rubber plantations, and jungle trails. Tours usually include a the trip through the mangroves which have their own unique eco-system with some cave exploration. Specialist activity tours, like canoeing and elephant trekking, are also available. Most can be booked from Ao Nang or Krabi town.

Krabi’s limestone cliffs are heaven for rock-climbing enthusiasts, who come from all over the globe to take up the challenge of climbing them. Over 650 routes have developed since the late 1980’s when Krabi first witnessed the sight of people scaling its craggy mountains. Routes follow limestone crags, steep, pocketed walls, overhangs and hanging stalactites. Some are accessed by boat while others are approached via a jungle walk or by abseiling above the sea. Using the French grading system, routes range from beginner 5a’s to classic multipitch 6a’s, right up to the extremes of 8c. There’s enough here to keep any climber busy for years.
