“AB, our guide, was fantastic. Very funny and easy to talk to. The emerald pool was beautiful, hot springs like a bath and the view at the top of the Tiger Cave was just wow. The stairs are a challenge so definitely bring a bottle of water with you, you can refill it at the top. Definitely worth the money!”

Spend an afternoon and evening exploring Phra Nang Beach, Diamond Cave, and Railay with an English-speaking guide such as Jess, Peter, Leen, or Nina. After sunset, stop in the Andaman Sea to see bioluminescent plankton, with the option to enter the water.

“It was a relaxed time in the trip. We did see the planktons rather easily as it was no moon night. The guide did well in showing us the same. Swimming was good both at princess cave beach and in the dark looking for planktons. However the guide needs to tell stories which they dont.”

4.Discover Krabi – Emerald Pool, Hot Springs & Tiger Cave Temple

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 296 reviews · from $37Top rated

Spend a full day inland from Ao Nang, swimming at Emerald Pool, soaking at Namtok Ron hot springs, and visiting Tiger Cave Temple. English-speaking guides such as Otto and Timm are praised for friendly help, but the 1,260-step climb and extra entrance fees require planning.

“Great tour with Otto. The Blue pool experience and swimming in Emarald pool. The hot steam pool was such an amazing feeling 😍 🙌. Our last tour was Tiger Cave Temple. What an adventure! Climbing those steps to the top was very hectic, but fulfilling.”
