Good to know
- The Blue Lagoon might be closed to visitors from May until October because of the breeding season of a rare bird species.
- You need to climb 1260 stairs to the top of the Tiger Cave Temple, so a degree of physical fitness is required. Once you make it to the top, you are rewarded with stunning views of the surrounding countryside with all the limestone cliffs and beautiful lush rain forest. If you think the climb to the top might be too tough for you, you can also visit the temple on ground level.
- There are wild monkeys at the Tiger Cave Temple. You must always remember that, no matter what, monkeys are wild animals, not pets. Even though they may look cute, we always recommend to keep your distance, not bring any food with you and keep all your belongings in your bag.
- As our tours run on a group basis, we can wait a maximum of 10 minutes after the scheduled meeting time. After this grace period, the guide will begin the tour. If you cannot make it on time, please let us know before the tour starts. If possible, we’ll do our best to reschedule you for the next available day, though a rescheduling fee will apply.
- Cancellations made at least 24 hours before the tour start time are eligible for a full refund. For cancellations made less than 24 hours in advance or in case of no-show, no refund will be issued.
- Our tours operate rain or shine, as tropical rain showers in Thailand usually don’t last long. If it rains heavily, we try to seek shelter and will continue as soon as the weather improves. During the rainy season, it’s a good idea to bring a raincoat or poncho. Please note cancellations due to weather are not eligible for a refund.
Traveler reviews
An enchantment
We did not visit the temple because of a physical problem. The Emerald Pool is accessible after a one-kilometer walk (without difficulty). The water is a magnificent color. Swimming was pleasant because there were few people this season. Access to the hot baths is easy. The water is about 38 degrees. Relaxing but in moderation.
Emerald Pool — A Must-Visit Spot in Krabi!
We did our visit by ourselves, we didn't use any operator, we traveled with our own car. Emerald Pool is a gorgeous natural swimming hole and well worth a visit when you're in Krabi. The water isn't very deep, so most adults can comfortably stand with their feet on the bottom. To get there, it’s about a 1.1 km walk through the forest from the main entrance. The trail is paved and well-maintained, making for an easy, pleasant stroll. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and a fantastic place to cool off in nature. I highly recommend stopping by if you're traveling through Krabi! If you liked my review, give me a like 👍🏻
Lovely experience
Amazing experience. The tour guide Otto was very friendly and clear. The locations were lovely, and there was even time to stop for lunch. All the timings were perfect. I would recommend to anyone in Krabi!
Very beautifull trip
Tukky is a very nice guide. She answered all our questions without hesitation. We took this trip in the rainy season, so there weren't a lot of people. We enjoyed the hot springs, these where 38° and very beautifull. The emerald pool is also really nice to swim. The blue pool is beatifull ( your not allowed to swim). Afterwards we went to tigertemple wich was impressive. The stairs are 1260 steps and my t-shirt was soaking wet with sweat... Beware of the monkeys at the top, don't wear a backpack or wear it on your belly. They will snatch it and you loose everything.
Tukki was amazing. Spoke...
