If you’re afraid of the monkeys you can stay further and observe from a distance; otherwise they will jump on your kayak but otherwise behave well. We considered whether to go kayaking alone or with a group and in the end were happy to have a guide”

Explore Ko Lanta by kayak, climb Skull Island, swim at quiet beaches, spot monkeys, and enjoy a homemade lunch for $63.

“This was one of the best day trips we have ever done. The guide was outstanding and his personality really made the trip special. He was encouraging throughout (“easy banana!”) and helped everyone through the climbs at Skull Island even when some of the group felt less confident. As long as you have decent walking sandals or shoes the climbs are fine and the guide tells you exactly where to put your feet etc. The experience of the caves and eyes of the skull at the top are worth it. The mangrove kayaking and sea kayaking were so much fun and to see the monkeys at an isolated beach was…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 182 reviews · from $43

Review of Koh Lanta’s 4-island tour, with Emerald Cave, snorkeling, Ko Kradan beach lunch, practical tips, and honest value advice.

“This is very professional tour operator. The hotel pick up was smooth and on time! And we were incredibly well looked after at all times. The journey to/from the islands was comfortable and the islands and their snorkelling wonderful. We were shown Clown fish, water snake and an eel all of which would have otherwise passed me by! The lunch on the beach was delicious and the timings at each venue were good so we did not feel rushed or that we stayed too long. We were supplied with perfectly timed chilled drinks and fresh fruit. The tour guide was really sweet with lovely gentle humour. Would recommend this tour.Read…”

At this island there was a bit of a climb to see the view but Ramadan assisted aswell as took photos! We then did a bit of sea swimming followed by a nice kayak around an island to another cave where we were able to explore. The lunch was also very good especially needed after the kayaking! Brilliant day out, thank you again to Ramadan who was an excellent guide and captain!”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 21 reviews · from $97Top rated

Review of Ko Lanta’s $97 PADI Discover Scuba trip, with two underwater sessions, meals, hotel transport, and seasonal island routes.
