Beginner's Half-Day Rock Climbing Tours at Railay Beach Krabi

Overall a good experience but slow to start, not many tips given by instructor. Climbers are sort of left to their own devices to figure it out. No water provided.

My partner and I had the absolute best experience with the team from Real Rocks. They picked us up from right outside of our hotel on Railay beach, brought all the things that we needed. We then had a beautiful and phenomenal time climbing several different rock faces. The guides were kind and patient and we were so grateful that we did it. Our Guide, Faruk, was helpful to make sure we felt safe and took advantage of all we could that day. He was helpful and told us how to climb up the difficult walls, it was incredible.

Amazing experience since pickup, can’t recommend enough for all types of climbers. Gear is all brand new and the team has excellent belayers. Staff is all super fun, friendly and make the whole experience 5 stars. Shout out to Farouk!

I was really disappointed with this tour. The communication was poor from the start, and as a solo traveller it made the whole experience quite uncomfortable. I shared my hotel details and asked about the pick-up time, but I didn’t receive any response and had to chase multiple times. When I arrived in Railay, I was left on my own with no one to meet me off the boat. I had to wander around and eventually found the guide at the end of the platform. I was then placed with one other girl who had done a full-day course. There was no introduction, no support with getting my equipment on, and no basic guidance. Thankfully she helped me, because without her I would’ve had no idea what to do. The climbing itself was a great experience, but that was down to the location, not this tour. The guide’s English was extremely limited, which made communication even more difficult. I even did a few climbs without a helmet and the guide didn’t care. On the way back, we were crammed onto a small boat filled with local workers, which is definitely not what I expected or what I felt I’d paid for. Overall, it just wasn’t the experience advertised

We felt very safe and secure with our climbing instructors. Their guidance and attention to our needs was superb. The climbs were in a spectacular location, perhaps a little tough for a complete novice but very enjoyable nonetheless. We booked a morning session to avoid the heat of the afternoon but as this coincided with high-tide, the beach was very crowded with tourists visiting the nearby phallus-shrines, although chaotic, it didn't have any adverse affect on our climbing experience once we commenced. Would thoroughly recommend Real Rock climbing!

it was great, full service and nice guides that don't give up on you even if you struggle with your first time climbing ❤️ Thanks Farah and Pooh

Such a great experience, I went with a friend who has no prior experience rock climbing and I have climbed before and it was perfect for both of us. Great guides and fun and challenging routes

Thanks, Jay for a fun time! Routes were maybe a little harder than beginner—best for someone who as at least casually climbed before.

I'm 59 and love hiking and scrambling but have never been rock climbing before. I did the beginners half day course and it was without doubt one of the best experiences of my life. The location is truly spectacular and the rock climbing was much more challenging than I had expected which made the experience even more rewarding. The guys from Real Rocks were superb and gave excellent instructions and I always felt safe on the rock face. Organisation was excellent, first being picked up from my hotel in Ao Nang, then driven to their place to get kitted out with shoes/harness/helmet and then long tail boat to Phra Nang beach. I wish I had done this 30-40 years ago but even if you're getting on a bit like me, I would still highly recommend this as long as you have a reasonable level of fitness and strength

This was so much fun! Guides were friendly and helpful. The beach we climbed at was beautiful, but got crowded quickly. Nevertheless, each of us was still able to get a good amount of climbing time in. Would definitely recommend!
