Wow this was such a great way to experience Railay beach! Pick up and gear rental was included, and the staff was professional and friendly. They would tailor the routes to your skill level and point to holds if needed. Morning routes were at Phra Nang beach by Princess Cave. During a lunch break you were set free to enjoy Railay walking street while the guide went back to Ao Nang to drop off and pick up for any half-day tours. Afternoon was climbing at South-East Railay beach, then a short hike to bat cave. Caving was pretty easy, but fun with stunning views. At the top, we rappelled and returned by longtail boat back to Ao Nang. I would absolutely recommend this tour and company to others!
This mid 40-year old had an amazing time rock climbing (and caving) on Railay Beach. Couldn’t have asked for a better guide - Faruk, Thanks for such a cool experience!!
We had a lovely day, climbing in the morning with several on the beach. In the afternoon we were alone with the guide and could freely decide whether we wanted to continue climbing or instead walk to a cave and abseil. We were climbing again, it was a lot of fun but was also exhausting.
What a great experience this day was! The guys from real rock climbing could teach me a lot about rock climbing, and they are great guys to hang out with too! Highly recommended
Amazing experience! Better than I expected. Guides were knowledgeable and helpful. Great for all experience levels. I will do this again
We LOVED this whole day! Wow! This was our first time outdoor climbing (we top rope and boulder indoor). This is a must-do if you enjoy climbing and beautiful sights. The crew was friendly, supportive, attentive, and fun! They use a laser pointer to help you with the next moves (instead of shouting up to you, because that gets confusing when other climbers are there). We did about 5-6 routes (half in the am, half in the pm), went through an awesome cave and repelled down a cliff, and ate a delicious lunch close-by in the middle of the day. The boat ride to and from the park was also wonderful. Highly, highly recommend. Also make sure to look at the top when you get there! Even if it’s scary! Tip: The company keeps folks in the shade, and so sunscreen was actually unhelpful because it made us slippery and so we wiped it off!
Fantastic full day experience with a fabulous guide, Faros (sorry if I spelled your name wrong!) Fantastic climbing with great guides who were keen to teach and help us out with laser pointers when we couldn't see a hold! We did a few climbs with a bigger group in the morning, then went caving for an hour or two before having lunch, and another couple of hours climbing in the afternoon. We climbed a range of routes from 5+ to 6b. There were complete beginners in the group who have a fab time. We felt safe and fully taken care of as two indoor boulderers who have minimal experience on ropes and real rock! We enjoyed it so much that we've booked another half day in a few days time!
We went as first-time outdoor climbers, with a little indoor gym experience. The instructors were very good, and provided relevant instructions and advice at a professional level. Routes were around 5a-6a, and I think the instructors could tell if you were up to the difficulty or not. My instructor apparently tried to push more climbs out of us so we were almost dead tired at the end of the day. The caving tour was surprisingly not as easy as expected as there were some steep elements you are hauling your equipment at the same time. If you are intending to bring your own climbing equipment, do tell the instructors so you don’t end up bringing multiple sets of equipment along for the hike. All in all, the experience was very enjoyable and it is a good way to experience outdoor climbing as a first-timer, and the Railay climbing atmosphere was great. It is wonderful to be able to see the breathtaking sea view when you top the routes!
It was a perfect day. We booked the whole day. And we got maximum, we could. Despite the fact, that lunch break was 2 hours instead of 1, we even finished our day earlier. Because to 4 pm we were done. The routes were super, different lengths, different difficulty, different places. Also were good covered from the rain. And we got personal instructor for us two. It was very- very good.
This was an absolutely phenomenal experience. Paul was so knowledgeable, strong and friendly and knows his way around climbing. My friends and I are moderately experienced climbers and we had such a great time!
