Tour Overview & Description
Guided Mangrove Eco Expedition, Soaring Karst Limestone Canyons & Pristine Coastal Lagoons
Ao Thalane is universally recognized as one of Southeast Asia's most spectacular coastal mangrove ecosystems. Sheltered by colossal karst limestone mountains, its winding mangrove waterways offer a tranquil haven far removed from bustling beach resorts.
Under the guidance of an experienced eco-guide, you will navigate easy-to-paddle sit-on-top kayaks through narrow canyon corridors, hidden lagoons, and ancient mangrove tree tunnels. Along the route, keep your eyes peeled for wild crab-eating macaques, giant monitor lizards, colorful kingfishers, and sea otters.
