Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot) - During a short hike through the forest, you have the opportunity to explore an intact ecosystem. Sure you will be impressed by the unique ambience of the rainforest.
The Emerald Pool or also called
Sa Morakot is a unique natural pond with a visually limpid blue color and wonderfully warm waters, making it a stunning spot for swimming in. An abundance of minerals from the surrounding limestone hills gives the pool its jade tone.

Sa Morakot is a unique natural pond with a visually limpid blue color and wonderfully warm waters, making it a stunning spot for swimming in. An abundance of minerals from the surrounding limestone hills gives the pool its jade tone.
Nearby the Emerald Pool you’ll find the Blue Lagoon, a beautiful pool with deep aquamarine-blue water. But don’t be tempted to take a dip in the lovely looking blue water, because unlike in the Emerald Pool you can’t swim here at all! The bottom consists of quicksand and the water temperature varies between 30 and 50 degrees Celcius.
After visit to the Emerald Pool and Blue Lagoon we will stop for lunch at a local restaurant (approx. 1 hour - lunch is for own expenses).
National Park fee THB 400 per person is not included and has to be paid cash.

Beautiful & Relaxing - Great tour guide. Relaxed tour. Great there are other options like walking to the caves and monkeys instead of the harder hike up to the temple. Emerald pool was my favorite to swim & the hot springs are very relaxing. Beautiful day. 🌹

Amazing experience - The trip was awesome! Otto was one of the best guides we had here in Krabi, really patient and helpful. Always kind and lovely. He guided us thru the history of every single corner of the city and always gave tips on the best spots for pictures.

Amazing Experience! - This whole trip was amazing! Otto was an absolute legend of a tour guide. We left early enough and managed to get in before all the other tours. I would seriously suggest this if you are looking for something to do. The tiger temple is a steep climb so make sure to bring the right shoes. There is a second path there though so don’t be worried. Thank you Otto!

Absolutely incredible!! The beauty of the jungles, wildlife and the land of Thailand is breathtaking. A must do! - One of the best tours we have take!! It was epic to see the natural beauty of Thailand and our guide Otto was super informative and helpful in explaining the history and the environmental changes that he has noticed over the years and how the country is changing their practices to ensure the wildlife and the jungles are being protected.

Wonderful day, lovely guide - Otto was a great guide very kind and made every effort to make sure I was enjoying myself and and learning about everywhere we went.
The places we went were beautiful the forrest walk to the blue, green and crystal pool was calming and the pools were beautiful to see. It was nice to swim in the emerald pool. As this is a popular area the tour started early in these places so it wasn’t too crowded which was good. The hot springs were relaxing and it was nice they were all natural. I swam in a cold pool after the hot spring.
The steps to the tiger temple cave are not easy and there are many and you have to be careful on them as they are steep but the temple itself and the view is worth seeing. The last thing I saw was the tiger temple cave and learnt its history it was a great day.

Great day - We had a wonderful time with Otto.
The emerauld pool in the morning was perfect, no one was there yet, it started to be a bit crowded later when we left. The ascent to the Tiger cave temple was tough but the view worth it.
Thank you Otto for the pictures and videos.

A good day out but... - Great day out, although visiting the temple to climb the 1200 steps to the top would have been much more sensible in the morning, everyone found it hard. Last year someone died climbing it in the heat.
