How Much Is Kayaking in Krabi? The Options, Not Just the From-Prices
Krabi kayaking prices option by option: what the Ao Thalane, Klong Root and Ko Hong tours cost on real dates, why the from-price is often lower, and the baht you pay on the day. Checked November 2026.
A guided kayak half day in Krabi cost US$25 to US$40 a person on the dates we read, and a full day with lunch about US$60. A tour’s from-price can be lower than anything you can book. V Welcome Travel’s Krabi: Ao Thalane Mangrove Kayaking Tour with Pickup is priced from US$24 on promotion, usually US$40 (checked November 2026), yet its morning and afternoon sessions cost US$39.80 a person and its sunset session US$59.85 on every date we tried. Budget by the option, then add the baht you pay in cash on the day.
Pick your date in the calendar: the price it shows for each session is the one you pay on GetYourGuide.

GetYourGuide option prices read on the dates shown (checked November 2026). On V Welcome Travel’s tour two and four adults paid the same price a person as one.
Three things move the price more than the operator does. The session: sunset costs half again as much as a morning at Ao Thalane. The group: Sea Kayak Krabi will not take one adult, and Travel CoCo takes one adult only on its Ao Nang pickups. And the kayak itself on the island days, where it is an option on top of the boat.
Why the from-price is lower
A from-price can sit below every option you can actually book. V Welcome Travel’s from-price was US$24 on promotion, usually US$40, checked November 2026 while no session on five dates from November 2026 to March 2027 cost less than US$39.80. For Friends travel &tour's half day was priced from US$25 on promotion, usually US$36, checked November 2026 against US$35.91 for its one option on both dates we read. Check the price the calendar gives for your date before you compare tours.
