This bamboo rafting Krabi tour takes you inland from Ao Nang into green countryside of rivers, mangroves and limestone hills. You drift for around 45 minutes on a traditional bamboo raft, walk a short jungle trail to swim at a waterfall, stop at Wat Suwan Khuha (the “Monkey Cave Temple”) and enjoy a Thai lunch. Choose Program A with elephant bathing, or Program B, which adds an ATV ride.

Bamboo rafting Krabi: what to expect
- Morning pickup: from your hotel in Krabi (times below), then a drive into the countryside.
- Bamboo rafting: settle onto the raft as a local guide steers you through river bends, estuaries and mangroves. There are plenty of chances for photos.
- Waterfall: a short jungle walk to a pool where you can swim and cool off.
- Monkey Cave Temple: look inside the cave shrines and see the monkeys at the entrance.
- Lunch: Thai dishes and fresh fruit.
- Elephant bathing, plus the ATV ride if you booked Program B.
- Return to your hotel in the afternoon.
The order of activities may change with weather and river levels.
What to bring
- Swimwear, towel and a change of clothes
- Sandals or shoes that can get wet
- Insect repellent and sunscreen
- A waterproof pouch for your phone
- Cover for shoulders and knees at the temple
Tips
- Keep food and loose items out of sight at the cave temple, as the monkeys grab things.
- The river is calm, so this is gentle rafting rather than white water and fine for most ages.
- Staying in Phuket? Ask about a Phuket-based rafting day instead, as Krabi is a long drive each way.
