Por - Your timings are Perfect. Thank you for a wonderful tour! - Tiger Cave Temple, Emerald Pool and Hot Springs Tour
It’s an early start with Por our tour guide but worth it. From the outset Por was great with regular updates, even before we met her. An hour drive from Ao Nang to our first stop at the stunning Emerald Pool. Within minutes of arrival we swam in the clear blue-green waters of the mineral pool. Thankfully Por got us to there before hundreds of others arrived later in the day.
We took the 600 metre walk to the impressive Blue Lagoon. Very picturesque with huge overhanging trees across the bright turquoise lagoon. The path was a bit muddy but worth a visit and a photo opportunity.
We stopped for a nice buffet lunch at Ruean Morakot a local restaurant near the Emerald Pool. Again Por had our timing perfect as we beat the masses.
After lunch we drove 15 minutes to the Hot Springs Waterfall. Very impressive with a soothing healing feeling sitting in the unbelievably naturally warm water that swirled about us.
After a 50 minute drive back towards Krabi our last stop was Wat Tham Seua, the majestic Tiger Cave Temple.
There were 1260 exceptionally step stairs (narrow treads and some very high risers) which in the heat and humidity made for a very strenuous climb to the mountaintop temple.
For those lucky enough to make it to the top there was an uncanny bond. No matter what language, religion or background you came from strangers were giving you high fives and fist pumps or even just a huge smile of acknowledgment.
The huge Buddha statue gleams in the daylight and the tiger prints are intriguing and full of coins. Also take time to appreciate the views.
Note: It’s far easier in training shoes and not flip flops.
On our drive back to Ao Nang, Por gave us some additional facts about the area. Por also messaged us with numerous fantastic photographs of our day.
Thanks to you Por and our driver this was a wonderful and highly recommended trip.

Perfect day trip to swim, relax, and get your steps in! - Arun was a great tour guide and was very knowledgeable of the places we visited. The whole itinerary was my favourite, from swimming in the Emerald Pool, relaxing in the hot springs waterfall, to even hiking to the top of Tiger Cave temple for a spectacular view! Note, be prepared with proper footwear especially if you plan to climb the stairs to the top of the temple (I wore good runners but too many visitors wore sandals/slides which made the trek quite difficult and dangerous).

Amazing Experience and great guide - We have booked a trip with tripguru in Krabi for Tiger Cave Temple and emerald pool. The experience was amazing, our guide was Tan and he was taking care of us, explained everything we needed to know about the timeline and also about the places. He was a very kind and funny guide. I recommend this.

Highlight of our trip! - We had the most amazing day on the Tiger Cave Temple and Emerald Pool tour in Krabi! The climb up to the Tiger Cave Temple was tough but it was absolutely worth it. We loved the views!!
The Emerald Pool was the most refreshing & had crystal-clear water surrounded by lush greenery. We loved it all!
Very well-organized tour, and our guide was real fun & had lots of interesting insights. This experience combines adventure, nature, and a bit of relaxation & we would definitely wanna go again!

Worst service ever - We book a day trip with this company and we set our hotel as pick up point that was only possible to set as the hotel was within the allowed area. After that we received 2 emails and chat messages confirming the pick up and saying for us to wait inside the hotel for the guide.
On the day of the trip, no one came. short after the pick up defined hour, we received a call from the guide asking where we were. It turned out that they were expecting us to be at a meeting point far from were we were , at a specific boat pier, however we were at the pick up point defined and confirmed by them in the reservation. Even so, after they mistake, we told him that we could pick a boat to get to them , however they said that everyone was already there and that they couldn’t wait. They even called the office on their side and after stated that we should call the office by ourselves to solve this as they couldn’t pick us here after all neither wait for us to go there.
After requesting a refund they said we couldn’t be refund because we put an incorrect pick up place - this is a lie! We sent google maps printscreens to them and all the evidences of their mistake. They kept lying in the email sent saying that the guide was on our location and bla bla bla. We had the hotel staff with us and they can confirm all these lies as well. The even put the hotel staff talking with the guide in Thai to try to be more clear.
Their behaviour and client support is not acceptable. Worst company I ever booked with. Never again
