Private Longtail Charter

Take the whole longtail. Pick the islands, set the departure time, stay in the water as long as you like.

A private charter is the same boats and the same guides, with the schedule handed to you. Families, groups of friends and anyone who dislikes being counted back onto a boat tend to end up here.

You choose the route — the classic four islands, a slow day at two islands instead of five, the mangroves in the morning and a beach in the afternoon, or somewhere you read about and want to see.

Price is per boat, not per person, so it gets cheaper the more of you there are. A longtail comfortably takes eight to ten people.

Highlights

• Set your own route and departure time
• Priced per boat, not per person
• Skip the crowded stops entirely
• Good for families with small children
• Guide and boatman to yourselves

How the day runs

2. Day

   Your route

   We follow the plan, and change it on the day if the weather says so.

Times are indicative. Sea state, tide and the national park can all shift the running order — your guide will tell you on the morning if anything changes.
