Why us
Six reasons people book with us twice
There are a lot of boats on this island and most of them go to the same places. The difference is how many people are on board, who is in the water with you, and whether anyone tells you the truth about the weather.
More about how we workSmall groups, more water time
Our boats carry fewer people than the big operators, which means less queuing to get in and roughly 45 minutes at each stop rather than 20.
Local boatmen who grew up here
Our crews are from Lanta. They know which stop is sheltered when the wind turns, and where the turtles have actually been feeding this week.
A guide in the water with you
Not standing on the boat pointing. Our guides swim with the group, stay close to anyone nervous, and show you what you would otherwise swim past.
Clear pricing, no pier surprises
The price you see is the price you pay. The national park fee is a government charge and we tell you exactly what it costs before you book.
We cancel when it is not safe
Bad sea state means a full refund or a free move to another day. We would rather lose the booking than take you out in a swell that is not safe.
Reef rules we actually enforce
No standing on coral, no touching wildlife, no feeding the monkeys, no banned sunscreen. It keeps the sites worth visiting next year.
- 01

Air-conditioned pickup from your hotel anywhere on Lanta Yai, then a safety briefing and gear fitting at the pier.

A guide swims with you at every stop. Lunch aboard or on a beach, and back at your hotel by late afternoon.

About the national park fee
Mu Ko Lanta National Park charges foreign visitors THB 400 per adult and THB 200 per child, collected in cash on the island. Mu Ko Lanta / Ko Rok national park entry, paid on the day. Government rate, not ours.

The things people ask before booking
If yours is not here, message us — we answer WhatsApp faster than email and we do not mind blunt questions.
Do I need to know how to swim?
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.
Is snorkeling gear included?
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.
What is the national park fee and why is it not included?
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.
Do you pick up from my hotel?
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.
What happens if the weather is bad?
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.
Can I bring young children?
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.
