Best kayaking experience!
Such an amazing experience! The lake was absolutely beautiful, and getting to kayak through it was so much fun. The guides were incredibly helpful, especially when my kayak kept getting stuck on the logs. They were so patient and made sure everyone was having a great time.
It started raining during the tour, but that only made the experience even more memorable. Swimming among the trees and jumping off the logs was definitely one of the highlights. I was with a large group of friends, and the staff were very accommodating. Even with our group size, the guides still took the time to point out interesting sights and teach us about the area.
The water was so refreshing, and I had an absolute blast from start to finish. I would do this again in a heartbeat. It was one of the highlights of my trip to Thailand!

The Mangroves are truly breathtaking
I booked this by myself a day before and even though I lived outside the pick up area they picked me up from Klong Muang for only 100thb. Kayaking through the mangroves was a great experience and because I was by myself they put me on a boat with a guide to help me. He was great and pointed out several interesting things and also helped me to take photos. The staff in general were very acommodating and hospitable and even offered me food despite it not being part of the package. You will be mesmerized once you enter the green mangroves, definitely worth doing if you are in the Ao Nang area.

Pretty basic and short experience. The kayaking itself is beautiful (but way too short and busy). The guides barely speaks English, so no information was provided whatsoever which make it a bit less interesting if you want to ask questions.
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback.
We’re happy to hear you enjoyed the natural beauty of Klong Root. As it is a public natural area, the number of visitors and kayaking duration can vary depending on conditions and timing.
We also appreciate your comment about the guide’s English and will continue working to improve guest communication.

Great experience. Very...
Great experience. Very busy. Not for anyone who hasn't Kayaked before or is inexperienced in Kayaking, as there isn't any guidance. There are two staff who accompany the group, and can assist you when you get stuck on a tree or rock. Staff are very patient and polite.
