Being in Krabi is like being in a huge adventure playground. Not
only is there a good range of outdoor activities, but also ample
opportunity for first timers to learn adventure sports like diving,
or rock climbing with skilled professionals. For details see below.
Sea Canoeing/Kayaking
Sea canoeing and kayaking offer a great opportunity to get close
to the stunning natural environment. You can explore the fascinating
world of caves and tunnels in the evocative limestone scenery
of Krabi province. Day trips along the coast and into the world
of mangroves, or through the interior of Khao Sok National Park
are available. You may catch sight of crab-eating macaques, otters,
cobras, monitor lizards, and possibly, the magnificent Hornbill
on these eco-friendly tours.
Boating / Yachting
 Explore
and discover some of the hidden secrets of this area by chartering
a boat to cruise around the islands. The water clarity is near
crystal around the islands off Krabi and the Phi Phi Islands are
a must-see port of call. Anchorages here are plentiful, usually
deserted and always beautiful. Even in the southwest monsoon season
the calm, protected waters in fascinating Phang Nga Bay provide
the ultimate in boating enjoyment, even for the least experienced
of sailors. There are many charter sailing boats available and
some even offer "join-in" day trips for two or more
people.
Diving and Snorkelling
Krabi's islands provide good offshore snorkelling in the Ao Nang
Bay area. Dive trips also go to the Phi Phi islands and Shark
Point marine Sanctuary. PADI courses are available at dive shops
in Ao Nang.
Fishing
Expeditions to catch marlin, sailfish barracuda and tuna are
easily arranged from this area and nearby Phuket. Detailed information
is currently being compiled.
Rock Climbing
 Over
150 odd routes have been developed since the late 1980's when
Krabi first witnessed the sight of people scaling it's craggy
mountains. Routes include high quality limestone, steep, pocketed
walls, overhangs and hanging stalactites, with some accessed by
boat belay, others involving jungle walk approaches or abseils
into the sea.
Equipment and introductory courses are available on Phra Nang
beach, close to Rai ley.
