Tiger Cave and Emerald Pool Jungle Tour from Krabi
Description
Join this full-day tour to Krabi's most remarkable jungle attractions, Wat Tahm Suea (the Tiger Cave Temple) and Sra Morakot (the Emerald Pool). This exotic yet calming adventure starts with a refreshing swim in the Emerald Pool, a freshwater pool inside the Khao Phra Bang Khram Nature Reserve.

Itinerary
You can relax in one of the many natural hollows in the creek and watch the water gently cascade into the cool pools. In addition, there are many hollowed-out 'bathtubs' caused by the thermal springs' running water.
The Emerald Pool, also called Sa Morakot, is a natural turquoise-blue pond with fresh water from natural streams down the hills. Located in the province of Krabi in Thailand, it is one of the best excursions in the region. In the middle of a mystical jungle, you can discover two crystal-clear lakes, the picturesque Emerald Pool and the Blue Pool. During a short hike through the forest, you have the opportunity to explore an intact ecosystem.
Aside from being the site of a meditation center, it is also a place of archaeological and historical interest. Stone tools, pottery remains, and the mold for making Buddha footprints have been found in excavations. Tiger Cave temple, also known as Wat Tham Sua, is located near Krabi Town in southern Thailand.

Me and my partner enjoyed this tour. We were a bit skeptical as the tour didn't have any reviews, but it was the only one available as we decided to go on this tour at 11 pm the night before so our options were slim. We don't regret it. It was super fun. The hot spring and tiger cave temple was our favorite. The hot spring was so lovely and relaxing. There are different "pools" with different warmth/ coldness to them. We were also one of the first people here, so it was quiet for a while. Loved it. Emerald pool was nice to swim in, super crowded tho. Blue pool is overrated, we thought that it was not worth the walk in the humid and hot weather. After Emerald pool we went to the tiger cave temple. My partner and I came prepared. After we swam in the emerald pool we changed into dry clothing. Light pants and a T-shirt, as well as socks and shoes. This was because we had read the night before that people with sandals struggled. We really recommend bringing good shoes as I believe this was the reason I made it to the top. The climb was challenging and we saw a lot of give up and turn around. I felt that after we got over 600 steps and halfway there was no way we were turning back. You will sweat a lot so bring a lot of water. There was water on the top, thank God, because we didn't bring enough (only 1,5 small bottles). We also did smaller intervals, instead of doing a lot of steps and taking huge breaks we took maybe 10-20 steps and had shorter breaks. We used about 45-50 minutes up. I did not regret doing this. It was hard, but really fun to think about after. Also, all stair climbing for the rest of the trip felt super easy. Our guide was super patient and waited even though we used more time than we were given. We were several people in our little group going up and we were all done around the same time so if they left us, they would've left 80% of the group. The only thing that could be better is the pick-up. We were picked up by a big bus, thinking this was our ride for the day. Not correct, it was just the ride from the hotel and to the meeting point by Ao Nang Beach. We felt a little silly as we were the last ones on and we could've walked to the spot they dropped us off. Only 10-15 minute walk... So logistics here aren't that great on that one. It also seemed a bit unorganized at first, as the meeting point is for several tours and you needed to find your "person". After this, everything went smooth.
