Leave the crowds behind… and discover something new!

For those who are not looking for a big long day out, we are working alongside our partner company, Discovery Travel, to provide something more local with smaller groups.

Its an other option to our speedboat trips, where we take you to somewhere else than the usual hot-spots. All the excursions are run in the most eco-friendly way possible and we try to work alongside local people and communities. The small group size gives those tours an exclusive, almost private feel and it also helps to reduce our impact on nature.

The tours are done locally without going to the open sea, which makes those trips very comfortable and reduces travelling time.

We have different options, depending on what you want to do. On joined trips we take a maximum of just 6 people, although larger groups are available on request. Private trips are also available.

Mangrove Tour

This trip is a real hidden gem. Unknown to many Khao Lak is home to a beautiful and almost undiscovered mangrove eco system with rivers, jungles and forests. Khao Lak’s mangrove cover an area of over 60 square kilometres, and for the first time it is now possible to experience this breath taking and tranquil environment. On this trip we take a maximum of just 6 people, to keep it as exclusive and relaxed as possible (larger groups are available on request)

Leaving on our long-tail boat from a small local fishing village we will take you on a cruise through previously unvisited, unseen mangrove rivers. After some time and photographic opportunities, we will arrive at our floating base hidden deep inside the mangroves.

In these totally natural surroundings you will find only tranquillity and nature at its best. From here we use kayaks to explore the small streams and rivers that twist and turn through the mangrove trees. After a while we will head back to the platform for some rest and refreshments. Once everybody has got their energy back there is a chance to swim and cool off in a sheltered, hidden in-land lagoon before heading back to the pier.

This Trip is not recommended for young children.

  • Transfer by local style taxi to our pier in a small fishing village.
  • Cruise though the beautiful scenery on our comfortable long-tail boat.
  • Kayak deep into  the mangrove maze. Sometimes we can find monkeys, snakes, birds or even otters hidding amongst the trees.

How Bookings Work

To enquire or book, the best way is to just use this contact form here. Next to your name, nationality and amount of guests, we need the name of your hotel – and your room number once you checked in. During your stay in Khao Lak your hotel and room number is like an ID for every operator and driver through which we can easily identify you and get in touch with you. Hint: if you have booked your tour well in advance and don’t know your room number until check-in – just show your E-Voucher to your hotel staff after check-in and ask them to inform us about your current room number for our pickup roster.

The final confirmation of your booking via email will mention “Confirmation: date, destination, amount of guests” in the subject of our confirmation email, as well as include an E-Voucher PDF attached. If you have a mobile device, you don’t need to print this E-Voucher, just show it to the driver and to us at the pier on your phone.

Payment

If your tour date is later than one week from the date of confirmation, we need a 30% deposit via PayPal, cash or bank transfer. If you are lucky enough to get a space on a tour within the next five days, you can often pay the full amount on departure day with cash or card at the pier. Any balance payment is also to be made at the pier before departure.

Cancellation Policy

Until 24 h before tour departure you can cancel your tour anytime via email or phone call. If you don’t have any means of communication, just show the E-Voucher to your hotel reception and ask them to cancel the tour for you.

Cancellations within 24 hours of tour departure require a 50% payment of the tour price!

Weather & Sea Conditions

Due to our sheltered location in the mangroves, we are able to operate these trips all year round and in all weathers. We do not cancel our trips due to the weather except in extreme circumstances when we believe there is a safety risk or it would not be possible for the trip to go ahead.

The exception is the Local Snorkeling and Deserted Beach trip, which only operates in the high season when the water is clear. Usually between November and May.

Due to tidal conditions the timings of some trips may vary each day. The average length of our trips is 4-6 hours.

  • Anyone with mobility restrictions
  • Heavily pregnant women
