Similan Islands:

are rated even higher than Ko Surin in terms of marine biodiversity. The waters around these nine islands are crystal clear, allowing up to 30 meters of visibility. Giant manta rays are the stars of these parts.

● Rock Climbing

The jagged cliff of Railay Beach in Krabi is the setting for this thrilling outdoor sport. Rock climbing may appear daunting to the uninitiated but is in fact very safe, since climbers are instructed on safety rules first.

● Seacanoe

An innovative way to explore the stunning sea caves of Phangnga Bay, sea canoe was pioneered by Seacanoe Thailand ( see Directory) and quickly caught on since it can squeeze into and under honeycombed, uninhabited isles that are almost inaccessible otherwise. Seacanoe trips usually last two days, with overnight stay in tent.

● Sea Kayak

Sea Kayak is ideal for exploring the beautiful treasure of Ao Nang Bay in Krabi. The crystal-clear water is dotted with tiny limestone outcrops riddles with caves and hollows and fringed by mangrove forests. Instructions on basic control of the canoe and safety are followed by padding practice, and finally the actual kayaking trip.
