Thanks to his well-thought-out plan, we managed to avoid crowds at every stage of the trip, which made it even more special.

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 182 reviews · from $50

Review of Krabi’s Emerald Pool, hot springs, and Tiger Cave Temple tour, with costs, climb advice, itinerary details, and booking tips.

“This was a cool experience and overall I am glad we did it, but I was expecting more. There was alot of travel time on this tour so you are in the van for a long period of time throughout the day. The Emerald Pool & the Hot Springs are so beautiful and cool to see, but not that big so you are just kind of sitting around during your time at each. Also the Tiger Cave Temple is a hike up stairs, so if you decide not to do that, there is not much else to do on the ground while you are waiting. Our guide was very nice…”
