• Family Tour

    One Child Free per Booking • Kids Friendly Program

The first island excursion tailored to families with children.

The destination islands are reachable via sheltered mangroves which guarantees a smooth, enjoyable boat ride at any given time. On Koh Prathong we provide shaded places during the noon heat as well as toilet and restaurant facilities.

Mangrove Safari

The tour starts with a safari through the local mangrove forests, which will be visited on the way back. With a bit of luck, monkeys, crabs and seabirds can be spotted. The mangroves ensure calm waters and therefore a calm, enjoyable boat ride at any time.

Koh Ra & Koh Prathong

Our first stop is the deserted island of Koh Ra, where lonely beaches and lush rainforests invite for exploration or relaxation. At lunchtime you will spend quite some time at a sheltered bay on Koh Prathong, where a restaurant provides proper facilities and sufficient shade protects from the midday sun. A sheltered and shallow bay with healthy corals allow for kids friendly snorkeling and other activities.

Hotel Transfer

The tourprice includes all hotel transfers for hotels in the Khao Lak area – as is standard with all tours in Khao Lak by the way. It is possible to join our tours from other destinations like Krabi, Phuket, Khao Sok or Thai Muang. But a surcharge for your private taxi will be neccessary and the pickup time will be quite early in the morning at your hotel.

Pickup on Tour Day

Your exact pickup time depends on your hotel and it’s location along the pickup line. This is one of the reasons we need to know about your hotel as soon as possible to arrange your seemless pickup and tell you your exact times.

Food and Drinks

soft drinks in ice box

In the morning, you will find coffee, cookies, snacks and fruits at the pier before the briefing. Throughout the day there are various softdrinks available at any time. The tourprice includes a full Thai style buffet lunch – in both, the Surin and Similan National park, lunch is served by the National Parks own kitchen, so we only have limited influence about the dishes and quality of the buffet.

Snorkel Equipment

Snorkels and Masks

The tour includes a full set of new snorkel equipment in excellent state. If you have your own equipment, you are welcome to bring it – from experience we would recommend, that you only bring your own mask and snorkel and leave your fins at your hotel. The fins are the bulkiest part of the equipment and often gets stressed quite a lot during the day. Furthermore you will get a live-vest for the day – apart from safety, live-vests are very useful on snorkeling trips for a number of other reasons, we will tell you in the briefings.

Weather & Sea Conditions

Between November and January – especially around Christmas and New Years – steady northerly winds regularly create short bumpy waves, which can make parts of the boat rides uncomfortable. Although this does not affect the safety of the boat rides, we can not guarantee enjoyable boat rides to every individual on every given day. We experienced a wide range of individual guest reactions to these conditions. As the Koh Kam tour does not require the speedboat to leave sheltered waters at any time, this does apply to all tours except Koh Kam and eventual Prathong tours.

From February on weather and sea conditions are usually very calm and comfortable.

Medical Advice

Individuals with the following medical conditions are excluded from this speedboat tour:

  • Back Issues
  • Heart Issues & Diseases
  • Pregnancy

Please be advised that this is a safety regulation by the Thai Department for National Parks and there is no insurance cover for individuals with these conditions whatsoever on speedboat tours!
