Koh Mah Half Day, Private

A private half day at Koh Mah — shallow, sheltered coral a short run from Lanta. Morning or afternoon, THB 6,000 for up to five people.

Koh Mah sits close enough to Lanta that you are in the water quickly, and the snorkelling there is shallow and sheltered — which makes it the trip we point nervous swimmers and families with young children toward.

It runs as a private charter only, so the boat is yours for the session. One price covers the boat for up to five people, which makes it unusually good value for a couple or a small family compared with paying per head on a join-in trip.

Pick the morning or the afternoon. The morning slot generally has the flatter water; the afternoon is quieter.

Highlights

• The whole boat for up to five people at one price
• Shallow, sheltered coral — good for nervous swimmers
• Choose the morning or the afternoon
• Short run out, so more time in the water
• Water, soft drinks and seasonal fruit aboard

How the day runs

1. 08:00 or 12:00

   Hotel pickup

   Whichever slot you booked. We collect you anywhere on Koh Lanta Yai.

2. Out to Koh Mah

   A short run

   Gear fitting and a safety briefing on the way, so nobody gets put in the water unprepared.

3. On the reef

   Snorkelling

   Shallow, sheltered coral with a guide in the water alongside you.

4. 12:30 or 16:00

   Back to Lanta

   Then a transfer back to your hotel.

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.
