Ao Thalane Kayaking Price: the Half Day, the Sunset, the Full Day
What kayaking at Ao Thalane costs: every Ao Thalane option read on real dates, from US$32 to US$114 a person, why the listed from-prices are lower, two-person minimums and the pickup surcharges. Checked November 2026.
On the dates we read, a guided half day at Ao Thalane was between US$32 and US$40 a head, the sunset session about US$60, and a full day with lunch the same for each of two people. The figure to budget with is the option price, not the listing’s from-price: Krabi: Ao Thalane Mangrove Kayaking Tour with Pickup from V Welcome Travel lists from US$24 on promotion, usually US$40 (checked November 2026), but its 9:30 AM and 2:00 PM sessions were US$39.80 a person on all five dates we tried, and the 3:00 PM sunset session US$59.85. Add 200 baht a person if you are collected outside Ao Nang.
The calendar shows each session’s price for the date you pick; that is what GetYourGuide charges.

Why the from-price and the session price differ
Two of the Ao Thalane tours showed a from-price below any option on sale. V Welcome Travel’s from US$24 on promotion, usually US$40, checked November 2026 bought nothing on the five dates we read, where every session cost US$39.80 or US$59.85. For Friends travel &tour’s half day showed from US$25 on promotion, usually US$36, checked November 2026 while its one option cost US$35.91 on both dates. Love Nature Krabi Travel and Tours' did match: its US$32.32 was a 10% reduction on 26 November, back to US$35.91 in January. So compare tours on the price the calendar gives for your date.
The two-person rule and the solo cost
Sea Kayak Krabi sold no option to one adult on the dates we read: every one needs two participants or more. Its half day for two then cost the same a person as For Friends travel &tour’s (US$35.91). On V Welcome Travel’s tour a solo traveller can book, but when nobody else came alone in September 2026, a reviewer paid 300 baht to ride in the guide’s kayak.
The baht on top
- Pickup outside Ao Nang. V Welcome Travel and For Friends travel &tour both charge 200 baht each to collect from Krabi Town or Klong Muang, handed over in cash; For Friends travel &tour charges 250 from Tubkaek.
- Entrance fees. For Friends travel &tour, V Welcome Travel, Sea Kayak Krabi and Seava Travel include them in the price.
- Lunch. Only on the options that say so; Love Nature Krabi Travel and Tours' half day leaves it out.
