Top 4 Ko Lanta Kayak Tours

1.Half-Day Mangrove Kayaking Tour with Lunch

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 806 reviews · 3 hours · from $26Our pick

Spend three hours kayaking Ban Thung Yee Peng with a Thai or English-speaking guide such as Karim, Alim, or Ramadan. Expect birds, mudskippers, fiddler crabs, monkeys, a local fish farm, fried rice, fruit, and hotel transport. Bring swimwear or spare clothes because the kayak gets wet.

“This was a great trip. Karim was our guide and he is one of the most engaging tour guides we have ever met. It was so nice to spend half a day away from the hustle and bustle and in tranquil waters with amazing scenery. Karim has clearly put a lot of work in to build relationships with the monkeys as they boarded his kayak to get fresh water and just hangout. We also got a lovely lunch after the kayaking and saw some fish being fed in the fish farm. Would highly recommend this tour and we hope you get Karim as your tour guide.”

3.Half-Day Kayaking, Talabeng, Sea Cave & Mangrove

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 153 reviews · 4 hours · from $32

Spend four hours exploring Ko Lanta’s mangroves, Koh Aung, Koh Phee, and Talabeng by long-tail boat and kayak. Expect a rope-assisted cave climb, bats, monkeys, fruit, swimming, and lunch. Guides such as Alim, Ramadan, and Samir are praised for making the adventure easy to follow.

“First things first: Alim is the best Tour-Guide! (easy banana) We primarily booked the tour for kajaking but the climbing through the cave was even better and more adventurous and made so much fun! In the end it was the best part of the tour. During the tour we got lunch, fruits and water. So the value for money was very good on this tour. We highly recommend!”

4.Half day Mangrove by Kayaking or Longtail boat from Koh Lanta

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 58 reviews · from $24Best value

Spend about three hours exploring Thungyeepeng Mangrove Forest from Koh Lanta. Paddle narrow waterways by kayak or take a longtail boat, watch mudskippers, crabs, eagles, and monkeys, and enjoy fruit, snacks, water, a guide, and hotel pickup.

“Very nice activity, long tail boat to start through the mangrove, small stop on a very small island with swimming then kayaking around islands and visited a cave. A lot of macaques on the beach and on the boat back a female got on the boat and everyone was able to feed her. Bottle of water and bananas on the boat. Guides take the time, there are very few people, it is not a tourist factory.Auto-translated”
