1 Day and Night Intensive Wildlife Experience (Krabi)
Recently a group has begun offering both night and daytime wildlife field trips in Krabi province that includes the full package (but not meals).
One Day Wildlife Field Trips #
You fly in to Krabi (KBV) International Airport, they pick you up and take you to a nature resort surrounding by mountains and rainforest.
You stay in the bungalows there and have a daytime and a night session of hiking and looking for wildlife of all kinds, including snakes and other reptiles (turtles, geckos, lizards).
You can arrive in the mid-afternoon for a night session, and have a daytime morning session.
Or, just arrive before noon and have a daytime session then a night session, stay overnight, and leave in the morning. Of course you’re welcome to stay if you want to continue your wildlife adventure on your own.
Great for Wildlife Photographers #
Tips can be given to improve your wildlife photography skills during the field trips. Shooting animals at night is quite different then during daylight hours and there are many tips that can help level-up your night time skills.
Choose Target Species to Focus On
They’ll let you choose what you want to focus on. If you’d rather target insects at night and birds during the daytime field trip – do that. Or, arrange the hikes as you wish.
Each field trip goes for 2-3 hours.
