Avid adventurers headed to Krabi are absolutely spoilt for choice as the southern Thailand province packs a huge punch with a plethora of adventure activities. Thanks to the beautiful limestone cliffs, mangrove forests and miles of incredible coastline, adventure activities are what Krabi is all about.
The turquoise waters that front the white sandy shores of Krabi are some of the best in Thailand for scuba diving. The year-round sunshine combined with the crystal clear waters and the striking marine life has been drawing crowds for years on end to experience the fascinating world underwater. Throw yourself in a scuba diving suit and make your way to the alluring waters to descend deep into the tropical blue, where a slew of exciting oceanic treasures await your discovery underwater.
Krabi may not be the top choice in Thailand when it comes to island hopping, but the 200 or so islands that dot the province make it a pity to pass up on the opportunity. Hop on a traditional long-tail boat and set sail into the wide-open seas on an exciting adventure to explore the deserted islands nestled amidst the turquoise blue waters. Ideally, you would want at least two days to cover the entirety of the province, but just a single day of exploring the picturesque islands is sure to give you your fill of adventure.
If the small peninsula of Railay is known for one thing aside from its picturesque beaches, it would be for its incredible rock climbing. The peninsula between the city of Krabi and Ao Nang is one of the best places not just in Thailand but in the whole world to learn rock climbing, thanks to its towering dramatic limestone cliffs. With over 300 climbing routes up the cliffs, it's no wonder the slice of beach is renowned for the heart-stopping sport.
For the truly adventurous in Krabi, nothing will sate your appetite for adventure like whitewater rafting at the mighty Songprak River. The 7-kilometre river with rapids that range from class 2 to 4 means that novice and experienced rafters alike can take part in the sport. Brace yourself for the adrenaline-pumping experience, where you will be on the edge of your seat for the entirety of the 7-kilometre adventure.
Vacationing in Ao Nang, things to do may be plenty, but your experience would never be complete without cliff jumping in your itinerary. Embark on an exhilarating journey to the stunning cliffs that surround this vibrant coastal town. Feel the rush of adrenaline as you take a leap of faith from the rocky precipices into the refreshing turquoise waters below. With varying heights and levels of difficulty available, cliff jumping offers an adrenaline-fueled experience that will leave you with unforgettable memories of your adventure in Krabi. Vacationing tourists could stay just a stone's throw away from all the beach bliss at one of the city's finest oceanfront resorts the likes of Avani Ao Nang Cliff Krabi Resort.
