Private Krabi Hot Springs and Emerald Lagoon Tour

Discover Krabi’s natural treasures on an unforgettable full-day private tour combining Hot Springs, the Emerald Lagoon, and the sacred Tiger Cave Temple. Perfect for nature lovers, wellness travelers, and anyone seeking peace away from the crowds, this private experience lets you explore Krabi’s rainforest heartlands at your own pace with personalized service from Phuket Travel Store.


Experience the Natural Beauty of Krabi Beyond the Beaches

Krabi is world-famous for its islands and limestone cliffs, but inland you’ll find another world of tropical rainforests, hidden springs, and tranquil temples. This private Krabi tour takes you deep into Klong Thom District, where you’ll discover the region’s best-kept natural wonders — the Hot Springs, the Emerald Lagoon, and the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua) — all in one relaxed and scenic day.

Your private driver will pick you up from your hotel between 08:00 and 08:30 AM in a comfortable air-conditioned minivan. Sit back and enjoy the drive through Krabi’s countryside, where palm plantations, rice fields, and lush greenery stretch as far as the eye can see.


Krabi Hot Springs – Nature’s Spa in the Jungle

Your first stop is the famous Krabi Hot Springs, a natural thermal pool located in the heart of the rainforest. These mineral-rich waters bubble up from volcanic chambers deep underground and maintain a soothing temperature of 38–42°C, making them perfect for a hydrotherapy bath.

Surrounded by giant trees and birdsong, the Hot Springs Krabi offer a serene escape where you can soak your stress away. The warm, mineral water is believed to improve circulation, relax muscles, and refresh the skin, making it a must-visit for wellness enthusiasts.

For those who enjoy photography, the emerald-colored pools and forest backdrop provide stunning shots that perfectly capture the essence of eco-tourism in Krabi.


Walk Through the Rainforest to the Emerald Lagoon

After your spa-like experience at the Hot Springs, your adventure continues to the nearby Emerald Lagoon (Sa Morakot), one of Krabi’s most beautiful natural attractions. To reach the lagoon, you’ll enjoy a scenic 1,200-meter walk through the lowland rainforest, following a wooden path that winds past streams, tropical plants, and towering trees.

This area is home to a remarkable variety of wildlife and plants, including the rare Gurney’s Pitta bird, once thought to be extinct. The sound of cicadas and the smell of damp earth accompany you along the trail, making the journey to the lagoon an experience in itself.

When you arrive, you’ll be greeted by the breathtaking Emerald Pool, a natural spring with crystal-clear turquoise water surrounded by dense jungle. The lagoon’s color changes with the sunlight, shifting between shades of emerald and deep blue, creating a magical, mirror-like surface that looks unreal.

Take a refreshing swim or simply relax by the water’s edge — a moment of calm that will stay with you long after your tour ends.


Lunch at a Local Thai Restaurant

Following your swim, you’ll enjoy a delicious Thai lunch at a local restaurant, featuring traditional dishes made from fresh local ingredients. This stop gives you a taste of southern Thailand’s rich culinary heritage, where flavors of lemongrass, coconut milk, and chili blend harmoniously.


Tiger Cave Temple – Spiritual and Scenic Wonder

The final stop on your private Krabi tour is the Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Sua), one of the region’s most sacred and scenic temples. Nestled in the forest, the temple complex includes limestone caves, ancient trees, and statues depicting Buddhist and Hindu deities.

If you’re up for a challenge, you can climb the 1,260 steps to reach the golden pagoda at the summit. The climb is steep but rewarding — at the top, you’ll be greeted with panoramic views of Krabi town, Khao Kanab Nam, and the surrounding mountains. It’s one of the most breathtaking viewpoints in southern Thailand.

Even if you don’t climb to the top, the temple’s peaceful surroundings make it an ideal place for meditation or quiet reflection. Monks often chant softly in the distance, and the atmosphere feels truly spiritual.


Private Comfort and Personalized Service

As a private tour, this experience is designed exclusively for you and your travel companions. Enjoy flexible timing, personal attention from your driver and guide, and a stress-free day exploring Krabi’s inland highlights.

All transfers are provided by a comfortable, air-conditioned minivan. The itinerary can be adjusted according to your preferences — whether you’d like to spend more time soaking in the hot springs or taking photos at the Emerald Lagoon.

Excellent company for airport transfers & excursions

We booked x2 transfers and the hong by starlight tour a few months before our holiday. Communication was quick and informative, and when we arrived to Thailand, kept regulaly informed by whats app. Transfers were alll on time, with clean and very good sized transport. However the highlight of our whole holiday was the John Gray Sea Canoes trip. A full day out with absolutely stunning scenery, we were allocated a private guide per x2 passengers who were so friendly and informative, taking photos and pointing out wildlife when out on the canoes. The food onboard was the best we have ever had on a boat trip, the coconut milk pudding with rainbow tapioca balls was deemed the best dessert ever by the kids! Making the kratong and floating it at sunset was a beautiful event and the lit up bioluminence after dark in the caves was again a memory we will all trwasuee forever. If you're going to book one trip, make it the John Gray Canoes - you wont regret it!

Ayutthaya

We would like to thank the Phuket Travel Store, especially Sunee for organizing some of our tours in Thailand. The team was really professional and we always had quick replies to our queries. We visited the Palais Royal de Bang Pa-In, in Ayutthaya the Wat Maha That and had a boat tour back to Bangkok with lunch. Our guide was kind and knowledgeable, we had a great day. Everything went well apart from the French guide not being available resulting in last minute changes and the boat/van not being completely wheelchair adapted. With help it was possible. I suggested either a car with a big booth for manual wheelchair users or a van with wheelchair ramp. Thank you for improving accessibility.

Wir wollten zu Zweit relativ kurzfristig einen Ausflug von Khao Lak zu den Similan Islands buchen. Dies privat. Es wurden alle Hebel in Bewegung gesetzt, dass wir 3 Tage später diesen wunderbaren Ausflug machen konnten. Dies war unter den gegebenen Umständen nicht einfach, da Peak Season war und es fast keine Boote mehr hatte, welche gebucht werden konnten. Die Kommunikation mit der Agentin Apple war perfekt. Wir waren immer auf dem neusten Stand. Anpassungen, welche wir noch vorgenommen haben, wurden immer sofort gemacht. Der Ausflug selbst war extrem gut organisiert. Alles hat von A-Z bestens funktioniert. Für mich ist Phuket Travel Store eine klare Empfehlung wert.
