Barca veloce molto bella, con molti posti all'aperto a prua. Snorkeling piuttosto deludente, poca visibilità e niente coralli, solo rocce. Le soste sulle due isole molto belle, bagni in un mare spettacolare. Pranzo ok, grazie per aver preparato due box di cibo vegetariano per noi, non era un granchè, ma abbiamo apprezzato il gesto. Frutta in abbondanza a meranda, e acqua fresca a volontà sulla barca. Esoerienza nella grotta smeraldo molto suggestiva, la guida è stata molto attenta a trainare il gruppo al buio.…”

13.Ko Lanta: Sea Cave Kayaking Adventure Mangrove with Lunch

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

From your Koh Lanta hotel, ride to Tung Yee Peng, walk through the mangroves, watch safe monkeys being fed, then take a long-tail boat to Koh Aung and Koh Talabeng. You will kayak beside limestone cliffs, enter sea caves, swim from a beach, and finish with lunch. Basic kayaking skill helps.

“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”
