Climb in beautiful Railay
In the climbing community, Railay Beach is known as a “climber’s paradise”, and you’ll soon see why. Many claim it’s the most beautiful of Thailand’s southern beaches, and we don’t disagree. It’s got the perfect mix of turquoise water, white sand, and some pretty awesome limestone cliffs just waiting to be explored by us.
Railay is located on a small peninsula between Krabi and Ao Nang. Climbers and backpackers come here from all over the world to relax on the dreamy beaches or try the world-class rock climbing.
Each tour group will have a maximum of four people per instructor. This means that you’ll have plenty of time to fully understand your instructor’s comments and tips as you go. Rock climbing is about enjoying the moment, and we don’t want to rush through this awesome experience.
During the climbing class, you’ll get a basic introduction to top rope sport climbing, simple belay, and basic top rope movements. You’ll also learn holding, climbing, and rappel techniques. On top of that, you’ll get practical experience with how to use the equipment and, of course, learn how to ensure that basic outdoor climbing safety measures are met.
Go trekking, caving, and abseiling in paradise
As if rock climbing itself wasn’t awesome enough, we’ll also try caving, light trekking, and abseiling. We warned you – this is a day full of adventure!
The highlight of the entire tour is, in our opinion, the abseiling. This is where you really get to face your fears, but the views are so worth it! We’ll do the abseiling from the famous Railay viewpoint. Take a deep breath and enjoy a 10 meter abseil 150 meters above sea level.
It’s hard to find words to describe the view you’ll get as you’re hanging there. Far below, you’ll see the turquoise Andaman Sea, green jungle, and white-sand beaches. This truly is a little slice of paradise!
