Railay Lagoon Trek
Description
 |
This trek starts with a steep scramble / trek up to the low view-point over Railay and Tonsai. This is a sight not to be missed - one of the most beautiful places on the planet, from above ! Those of the party who want to can follow this with an optional climb to the high viewpoint. |
| This is a very, very easy climb, on which you will be roped up for safety and then lowered down afterwards. If you prefer to abseil (rapell) down instead of being lowered, you can do this, provided you either already know how to do so or want us to take the time to teach you how to do it. |

Next the whole party treks down towards the lagoon, where not a sound disturbs the utter silence and stillness. |
It is possible to reach almost as far down as the lagoon without being roped up, but to reach the lagoon itself requires roping up and then being lowered down (or abseiling yourself), after which you climb back up - again, an extremely easy climb. Dozens of people a day do this climb independantly without ropes in high season, but we insist on ropes. Reaching the lagoon, and then swimming in its under-lit ultramarine waters, is another option on this day out. Swimming is only possible at or near to high tide.
The trek then leads on to the famous Phra Nang beach for lunch, a swim and relaxation.
Cliff-jumping comes next, either from the low cliff, or the 7m-high cliff - this doesn't sound too high, but it looks like a long way, when looking down. We need to time this activity to coincide with high tide, so the exact itinerary varies. |

After donning head-torches, we then climb fixed ladders and ropes through the pitch-black interior of the massive hollow Thaiwand Wall karst, after which we arrive at a stunningly beautiful viewpoint high above Railay and Tonsai. This view is often used in posters published by the Tourist Authority of Thailand. From here you can if you wish abseil down to West Railay beach.
The trip through the Thaiwand Cave is particularly popular with all our customers, and is the one part of the itinerary we never skip. |
This is a very flexible trip, which can be varied from a very soft to a more demanding adventure day out. Children as young as five can manage most but not all of the activities.
There is not time in a single day to do all the activities above, so we tailor the exact itinerary to the individual party's ages, wishes and physical abilities. |
