Kayak Ko Lanta’s mangroves, spot monkeys and mudskippers, visit a fish farm, and enjoy lunch for $26 with hotel pickup.

“We had a brilliant time kayaking with Karim as our guide. Everything was very well organised and the whole experience was fun from the moment we set off. We saw crabs, walking fish, birds of prey, a snake, curlews and of course loads of monkeys including young ones. It was a joy watching Karim interacting with them. When the mangroves opened up into sea, the heaven’s also opened and we were all soaked but it was very special to see the magical way the rain bounces off the sea and mist and clouds gather around the mountains. Kayaking was followed by a lovely lunch which included fresh fruit and drinks.…”

Such an amazing person. I’m happy I had the pleasure to meet him. Between Kayaking, sight seeing, chilling with monkeys, climbing into a cave and eating homemade food, I couldn’t ask for better. Thank you and hope to see you again, very soon.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 38 reviews · 6 hours · from $49

Kayak Koh Lanta’s mangroves, pirate caves, and limestone islands with lunch, hotel transfers, and an English-speaking guide.

“We booked as family a full day mangroves and sea cave kayaking tour - and it was really worth the money. Transfer from hotel, Kajak through a part of the mangroves (could be a little bit more), transfer with longtail to some nice islands and again a kayak tour around an island with some nice Stopps in caves or at small beaches. Service with water, warm lunch and some melons was nice, had some fun with monkeys - and Sing, our guide, did explain a lot and did everything to make his group happy. Well appreciated! A advise everybody to book this tour (and try to get Sing as guide).”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 11 reviews · 4 hours · from $32

Kayak sea caves near Koh Lanta, visit Koh Aung, watch monkeys, swim, and enjoy lunch at a mangrove seafood restaurant for $32.

“Brilliant from start to finish. Cave and kayaking were both brilliant. A unique way to see all the small islands off the east coach of Lanta. One or two things to be aware of, if you do the 1pm trip, food is after and you are left to your own devices when kayaking so if you haven't kayaked before, this may not be for you. Not a negative by any means but just something to be aware of”
