Starting in April we are offering a combination day and night herping adventure for people looking for snakes and other reptiles. The rains this year have been early and we are starting to see snakes and other reptiles earlier than usual. We are starting our snake and reptile herping earlier than the usual month of May start this year.
Book early when you know when you’ll be here. May through October is quite busy and some people are frustrated when they don’t book early and expect to reserve something when they arrive in Krabi. We often cannot fit people in.
Krabi Day/Night Herping Adventure
ACTIVITY: Reptile Herping (looking for reptiles and amphibians)
TRANSPORTATION: You must have a motorbike/scooter for this Herping Field Trip. This is the optimal way to get around the area which sometimes has a lot of traffic during the daylight hours.

Why Is this the Best Tour for Herpers in Krabi?
- It covers 4.5 hours of actively looking for wildlife.
- You’ll see more wildlife than on the typical 3 hour Night Safari tour because we have motorbikes and can move around quickly and even cover 2 different spots.
- It’s possible to see daytime snakes like D. cyanochloris, and nighttime snakes on one tour – the same day.
- It’s a better overall rate per hour than our Night Safari that is 4,400 THB for 3 hours for 1-2 people.
