Explore Koh Lanta your way

No. Every guest wears a life jacket in the water and we carry float rings, and a guide stays with anyone who is not confident. Tell us when you book so we can plan for it. The one exception is the Emerald Cave swim, which needs you to be comfortable in deep water and in the dark for a few minutes — you can skip it and stay on the boat.

Yes. Mask, snorkel, fins and a life jacket are included on every snorkeling trip. If you have your own mask you are welcome to bring it — a mask that already fits your face is always better than one that does not.

Mu Ko Lanta National Park charges foreign visitors THB 400 per adult and THB 200 per child, collected on the day in cash at the island. It is a government fee that goes to the park, not to us, which is why every operator on Lanta quotes excluding it.

Yes, anywhere on Koh Lanta Yai, included in the price. Pickup times on each trip page assume the central west coast; if you are staying in the far south we will collect you 20 to 30 minutes earlier.

We cancel and refund in full, or move you to another day if you would rather. We make that call in the morning based on the actual sea state. We would rather refund you than take you out in conditions that are not safe.

Yes, and plenty do. The mangrove and Monkey Point trip is the easiest with small children — calm water, shade, no swimming needed. For snorkeling trips, ask for a child-sized mask when you book; an adult mask on a small face leaks and ruins the day.

It depends on the trip and it is listed on every trip page. Longtail trips run to a maximum of 12 to 20 depending on the boat, speedboat trips up to 25 to 30. If you want a smaller group, a private charter is priced per boat rather than per person.

On the full-day trips, yes — a Thai lunch or a beach buffet, plus fruit, water and soft drinks. Half-day trips include snacks, fruit and drinks but not a full lunch. Tell us about allergies and dietary requirements when you book and we will handle it.
