We decided to go kayaking amongst the mangroves. But there are at least seven companies selling similar tour packages. We compared 2 decent tour companies, before deciding to choose a 1/2-day kayaking package. We can't be sure if we got a well-organised tour company. Afterall, these tour agencies act only as middlemen. But we are pretty sure we bought a value-for-money package at 450 baht (S$18.15) per person.
For that price, the tour guide picked us up from our hotel. (For once, we were terribly late.) He offered fruits and drinking water to us, explained how the route would be, kayaked with the 6 of us in Ao Thalane, showed us the wildlife-filled mangroves and sea cliffs. It was a relaxing 2.5 hour journey, except for the last part. He rushed into the narrow passage between the mangroves before the tides could fill them up, thus making the effort of kayaking more tedious.

Nevertheless, I appreciated the journey to experiencing the towering canyons, interestingly-shaped mangroves, marvellous rock formations.
