Snorkel Koh Haa and Koh Rok from Koh Lanta by speedboat, with beach lunch and hotel transfers in one full day.
“I need to confess that I was biased before starting the tour. There was a lot of confusion at the pier and the group I belonged to was quite numerous. I was thinking to give up snorkeling because I don't like the crowd and the confusion. Despite the large group, everything was ok. The snorkeling sites were nice, 45 minutes per "session" were enough. Food was ok. The boat was very nice. The staff was very nice. I recommend Opal Travel. I saw also other boats of the same company and they look fine too”
Ethical half-day elephant sanctuary on Ko Lanta: feed and bathe elephants, make herbal supplements and eco paper, plus showers and fruits.
“Most magical experience ever. Lanta Elephant Sanctuary is stunning, people are kind and knowledgeable and treat elephants with great care and affection. Loved that the first activity is meeting the elephants to let the get to know you before you try to feed or mud bathe them. You also get to learn the backstories of these elephants - highlight of our time in Ko Lanta. Will be donating to and following the Lanta Elephant Sanctuary when home!”

Ko Lanta speed boat day trip to Phi Phi Islands with Maya Bay photos, Monkey Bay snorkeling, Bamboo Island beach time, and lunch.
“Very beautiful spots, however be aware that is packed with tourists. Also, for us Phi Phi Don (which is the main island) was not interesting, as it was basically a shopping stop. We would have preferred to stay longer on Monkey bay to do snorkeling instead. Overall we enjoyed this activity and the guides were very nice.”
4-island boat trip from Koh Lanta with snorkeling, Emerald Cave at Ko Mook, and a beach Thai lunch on Ko Kradan.
“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…”

Ko Lanta half-day kayaking through mangroves and sea caves, plus cave climbing at Talabeng and Skull Cave, with lunch and fruit included.
“We had a really great time with this tour. We got picked-up from our hotel at the estimated time (maybe 5 min later than expected) and drove to a private pier to go on a long tail boat. The first stop was a cave on the Ko Talabeng which was a true adventure! We climbed into the cave. And I mean real climbing: you have to pull yourself up a robe so make sure you feel ok with heights and some sportily activity. After that we hoped on the Kayakts and had time to explore the island and the surroundings. So much to see and experience! Totally worth it.”
Snorkel Koh Rok and Koh Haa from Koh Lanta with guided stops, provided gear, and a beach Thai buffet plus door-to-door transfers.
“Great trip, saw so much in one day, snorkelling was amazing, the best i’ve ever done. Our hotel was offering shorter tours to these places for a greater cost so I’d say this was a great way to see it all in one day for a reasonable price. Be warned though that the entry fee to the national park is extra and quite pricey at 400thb”
