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 young children unattended.
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 4:00pm, 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.
