Ko Lanta Private Longtail Boat Tours
Skip the crowded speedboats and explore the islands around Koh Lanta at your own pace. Simply Life Tours is one of Ko Lanta’s original tour and travel agents. We are a small family owned company specializing in custom private tours by traditional Thai longtail boat. For 20+ years we have been taking visitors to Kantiang Bay and Koh Lanta on their dream private chartered tour. Our experienced English-speaking staff are available to answer any and all of your travel-related questions!
Complimentary transfer is provided from your hotel anywhere on Ko Lanta to your embarking location, either from Lanta Old Town or Kantiang Bay. On arrival, our friendly staff will greet you and escort you to our traditional Thai longtail boat which comfortably seats 10 passengers, all under a shaded canopy. Day trips leave at 8:00am and return to your hotel at approximately 5:00pm, depending on your chosen destination.

Biting insects such as mosquitoes aren’t typically a problem during the day, but if you have young children you might want to bring some mosquito repellent, just in case!
Ko Rok, Ko Bubu and Ko Ngai/Hai all have small resorts on them, and can provide additional food, snacks and drinks, so bringing a little spending money with you might be useful.
Yes, life jackets are available onboard. Your safety is our priority. Also we understand that some people are more comfortable in the water with a lifejacket, and we’d recommend that young children always wear a life jacket.
Masks and snorkels are available onboard. There’s also a limited selection of fins (or ‘flippers’ for you landlubbers!)
Please let us know in advance of any food allergies or if you have a special dietary requirement.
Absolutely! Children are more than welcome on our longtail. However as always, please be careful around open water and don’t leave children unattended. Although we have small sized life jackets, for young children we’d recommend that you bring your own floatation/buoyancy aids with you that correctly fit.
Our Thai boat captain knows everything you might want to ask about our tours, and speaks some English. However if you’d prefer a dedicated English speaking guide let us know.
Depending on your resort location on Ko Lanta, we’ll pick you up between 8:00-8:30. All day trips leave approximately at 8:30-9:00am and return around 4:30pm, not including transfer times to and from your resort.
There’s no problem bringing alcohol on board and we welcome group parties, but please drink responsibly and be respectful of the boat crew and any other visitors to the islands and beaches.
