About Us
Based at the Pier, Facing the Sea
Limestone Horizons sits a short walk from the Pak Nam boat landing on Maharat Road. We started with a single kayak route through the mangrove channels behind Ko Klang and, over several seasons, built out a small set of water activities and a cluster of garden bungalows for visitors who want a calm base rather than a resort.
The team is local — our guides grew up paddling these channels and know which lagoon goes quiet by 7 am and which bay fills with longboat traffic by noon. Trips are small-group by design. Gear is checked after each hire. The bungalows have ceiling fans, proper beds, and bicycles you can borrow without signing three forms.
Three Ways to Use Krabi's Water
Whether you have three hours or three days, the activities here are built around the pace of the tides and the shape of the coast.
Guided Paddling
Morning kayak trips that move at a photographer's pace. Sheltered water, limestone archways, and enough stops that no one feels rushed.

Garden Stays
Three-night bungalow packages a short stroll from the pier. Breakfast included, bicycles available, and a printed map of the quieter swimming and walking spots nearby.

Gear Hire
Day hire of snorkel sets, rash tops, fins, and stand-up paddleboards. Pick up in the morning, return by evening. No deposits beyond the daily fee.
Find out more →What the Krabi Coast Offers
The area around Pak Nam is quieter than the main tourist bay. These are some of the things worth knowing before you arrive.
Sheltered Lagoons
The channels between Ko Klang and the mainland stay calm most mornings, making them well-suited for kayaking and paddleboarding even when the outer bay has wind chop.
Dry Season Timing
November through April brings the clearest water and lightest winds. The sea stays warm and swimmable year-round; October marks the tail of the rainy season when the coast is green and quiet.
Pak Nam Neighbourhood
The local pier, fresh market, and several good noodle shops are walkable from the bungalows. It is a residential neighbourhood rather than a resort strip, which keeps the pace relaxed.
Morning Light on the Lagoons
The half-day kayak departs around 7:30 am from the Maharat Road landing — early enough to catch the water before tour boat traffic starts up the main channels. The route runs through a mangrove passage, opens into a shallow enclosed lagoon, and finishes at a sand bar with shade. Total paddle time is roughly two hours; the rest is floating and looking at things.
Guides carry a basic first aid kit and know which sections to avoid if a weather system is moving through. New paddlers get a briefing on the beach; there is nothing technically demanding about the route.
Ask About Departures
A Room That Doesn't Try Too Hard
The garden bungalows are simple — tiled floors, ceiling fan, a wide porch with two chairs, and a bathroom with good water pressure. Breakfast is rice soup or toast with fruit, served in the small open-air kitchen between 7 and 9. The bicycles outside are free to use; the map on your door marks a beach on the back road that most visitors miss entirely.
Check-in from 2 pm, check-out by 11. Three nights is the minimum booking because one day tends not to be enough once people see the area.
Check AvailabilityHow We Look After People on the Water
Small-group trips with local guides, properly maintained gear, and a clear briefing before every departure.
Life Vests Included
Every kayak trip comes with a correctly-sized life vest and a dry bag for your phone and camera.
Groups of Six or Fewer
Trips are capped so the guide can keep an eye on everyone. No large flotillas — just a small group moving at the same pace.
Gear Checked After Every Hire
Snorkel sets, fins, and SUP boards are rinsed and inspected after each return. Anything worn gets replaced before the next hire.
Reachable by Phone
The team answers calls during operating hours. For anything that can't wait, +66 89 305 7142 is the direct line.
How We Think About the Coast
A few things that shape the way we run trips and manage the bungalows.
Small Groups, Local Guides
Every trip is led by a guide who has paddled these channels for years. We keep groups small so there is time to stop, look around, and answer questions that don't fit a script.
No Single-Use Plastics On Trips
Water comes in refillable bottles. Guides carry a small bag for collecting any debris floating in the channels. It is a minor thing, but it adds up over a season.
Transparent Pricing, No Add-On Surprises
The price listed is the price charged. Gear hire includes the fitting, the rinse, and the return. Bungalow stays include breakfast and bicycles. Nothing gets added at checkout.

From Visitors Who've Been Here
Sophie B.
Melbourne, AU
The morning kayak was the best thing I did in Krabi. We were on the water before anyone else and had the lagoon to ourselves for about 45 minutes. The guide was calm, funny, and knew exactly where to stop.
Markus K.
Hamburg, DE
Stayed three nights in the garden bungalow. Quiet, genuinely comfortable, and the breakfast was properly good. The bicycle map led us to a bay I would never have found on my own. Will come back for a week.
Rachel T.
London, UK
Hired the snorkel and SUP for two days. The board was in great shape and the staff did a proper fitting for the snorkel mask — small thing, but it made a real difference in the water. Easy process all round.
