Emerald Pool, Hot Springs & Tiger Cave Day Trip

Day trip details

Three Krabi mainland highlights in one private day

This private Krabi Jungle Day Trip combines Emerald Pool (Sa Morakot), Namtok Ron Khlong Thom Hot Spring Waterfall and Tiger Cave Temple (Wat Tham Suea) in one 8-hour private-driver booking. It is designed for travellers who want their own SUV and driver without joining a shared group tour.

How the 8-hour itinerary works

Pickup can be arranged from a confirmed road-accessible hotel or other agreed point in the Krabi area. The stop order can be discussed before confirmation. From Ao Nang, Emerald Pool is about 69 km by road, so the first inland drive is a significant part of the day. Emerald Pool and the Hot Springs are separate sites in the Khlong Thom area, and Tiger Cave Temple is visited as a separate stop closer to Krabi.

Emerald Pool and Hot Springs

The Tourism Authority of Thailand places Emerald Pool in the Khao Phra-Bang Khram Wildlife Sanctuary and describes a 1.4 km nature-study path at the site. Namtok Ron Khlong Thom is a natural hot-spring waterfall. Allow enough time for walking and for your independent visit at both attractions; the driver handles the road transfer between them.

Tiger Cave Temple timing

You can visit the ground-level temple areas without climbing to the summit. If you want the mountaintop viewpoint, the Tourism Authority of Thailand describes a stairway of 1,237 steps. A full summit visit can take substantial time, so tell us before confirmation if the climb is a priority. The time at Emerald Pool, the Hot Springs or a lunch stop may need to be adjusted to keep the complete outing within eight hours.

Hotel pickup and return

Road-accessible hotel pickup and return can be included within the confirmed 8-hour itinerary. Enter the exact pickup point and preferred return location when requesting the trip. If you want a different finishing point, include it in the request so the route can be checked before confirmation.

Private SUV and luggage

The vehicle is a private SUV for your party, suitable for up to 4 passengers plus normal travel luggage. This is not shared transport, so there are no pickups for unrelated passengers during the booked itinerary.

Private transport, not a guided tour

This service provides a private vehicle and driver; it is not a guided jungle or temple tour. You explore Emerald Pool, the Hot Springs and Tiger Cave Temple independently. Local access conditions and attraction rules remain outside the transport service.

What the 3,500 THB price covers

The current fixed price is 3,500 THB for the 8-hour private-driver service. Entrance fees, meals, attraction tickets, paid activities and other personal expenses are separate. If you request extra stops, a different route or more time, the plan should be confirmed before the trip.
