Your day begins with a hotel pickup and a short ride to Thung Yee Pheng Pier. From here, a traditional long-tail boat carries you across calm waters to Koh Aung, where the views are stunning and the atmosphere feels untouched.

Next, you’ll paddle your kayak around Koh Talabeng, slipping into caves and landing on quiet sandy beaches for a swim or a stretch of relaxation. The adventure continues at Koh Phee, an island famous for its dramatic skull-shaped cliffs — a great spot for memorable photos.

The final stop brings you into a lush mangrove forest, where you can choose to glide by kayak or stay on the long-tail boat. Here you’ll encounter friendly monkeys, enjoy the cool shade of the trees, and experience one of Koh Lanta’s most unique ecosystems before heading back to shore.
