A nearby island has a perfectly protected cove where ancient man (and contemporary Chao-Lay-Sea Gypsies) have left fire marks of continuous habitation in the deep soot layer of the cliff overhang. Elevated bamboo sleeping platforms, used seasonally by bird-nest gatherers, reflect a habitation style that may date back 40,000 years at this site.
Indian Pied hornbills are commonly sighted, as are the White-bellied sea eagles which nest on hung platforms of sticks built atop trees precariously perched on cliff fronts. Sea turtles have been seen in these waters, and there are extensive beds of staghorn corals. A small islet to the east of the beach has beautiful displays of soft corals where sea snakes hide and schools of pelagic fish feed in the tidal currents.
On private day-trips, (contact us for prices) some island dazzle passers-by with the most alluring little beaches, and draw them ashore for a private picnic or a secluded swim. Others have fishermen and bird-nest gatherers living on elevated pilings or bamboo scaffolding built precariously on the cliff faces. A simple smile and a wave hello are sometimes enough to be invited ashore to share tea in their living chambers.
Krabi's northem coast is truly a paradise for paddlers. In this land lost in time, it is best to slow down and adjust your inner clock to the ancient rhythm of the tides.
This join-on day-trip is suitable for people who want to do a bit of kayaking as part of an island-hopping day-trip, but is not suitable for people who want to spend a large part of the day kayaking, as the daytrip includes less than 2 hours kayaking. If you'd like to do lots of paddling, contact us for options.
