Kayaking/Canoeing is the eco-tourist actively par excellence, and proves the benefit of the natural approach. The quiet of this mode of tourism heightens your sense of awareness, and wildlife is not scared by your silent approach. It is also an exciting physical challenge providing an aerobic workout and tones and develops your arms, shoulders and chest.
Some of the most spectacular sites for sea kayaking/canoeing are around Krabi, and the island of Phuket and Phang-Nga Bay. If you are looking for the trip that combines both breathtaking tropical islands with thick verdant jungle coupled with amazing underwater scenery, Tarutao National Park is your absolute best option. If you crave a refreshing alternative to the standard group tour, visit the islands of Trang with some of our TEATA members. These islands, south of crowded Krabi, offer off-the-beaten path island hopping. The most alluring way to visit these islands is by kayak. If watching a wide variety of exotic birds and other animals is a high priority for you, the Khao Soke National Park kayaking tour is just the ticket. It is the ultimate wildlife sanctuary in southern Thailand.
Kayak/Canoe expeditions are running all year-round, although the rains from June to October can inhabit operations. There is no age limit for participation, but travelers should be able to swim.
