Island Hopping

Travellers seeking sun, sand and tropical island life will love this six-day exploration of picture postcard Thai islands. The first day sees us sail from Krabi to Koh Lanta by public ferry (approximately 70 km). Upon arrival, we will check-in to our overnight accommodation and then have the remainder of the day at our leisure to kick back and relax into idyllic island life. Koh Lanta archipelago is home to 52 islands that sit in the south of Krabi province.

The island of Koh Lanta offers a peaceful alternative to more popular island destinations, such as Phuket and boasts coral-fringed shores, jungle-clad mountains, dense jungle and plenty of deserted white stretches of sand lapped by clear turquoise waters. You can choose to relax in your room, head to the beach, explore the natural surroundings, or take a refreshing dip in the sea.

After breakfast, we check-out of the hotel and transfer to Saladan Pier, where we jump on board a public speed boat to the island of Koh Mook. After check-in at our overnight accommodation, we take a traditional long-tail boat to visit the island’s top attraction, Tham Morakot or Emerald Cave. This adventure-filled activity starts with an 80-metre swim through the dark cave that is rewarded with access to a stunning inland beach of powdery sand.

The beach sits at the base of a spectacular natural chimney whose walls are coated with lush vegetation. We will spend some time relaxing in this spectacular setting and swimming in the sparkling turquoise waters before returning to our accommodation where you will have the rest of the afternoon and evening to enjoy at your leisure to explore more of this quaint tropical island.

After breakfast, we have the morning at our leisure to relax or take time to explore the island by skylab – a motorcycle with side-cart – along the east or west coast. Home to a smattering of fishing villages, we can stop along the way to get a glimpse into local life and pass by more stretches of coral sands and verdant cliff faces. We then continue by long-tail boat to the stunning island of Koh Kradan, which boasts breath-taking coral-sand beaches, rolling green hills and the turquoise Andaman Sea.

The waters that lap the island are also popular snorkelling spots and home to a colourful underwater world of tropical fish. After spending some time snorkelling and swimming, we enjoy lunch and relax on the beach. In the afternoon, we jump back on the long-tail boat and return to Koh Mook for the night.

Regarded as the Virgin Island of Mu Ko Lanta National Marine Park, this island boasts beautiful white sandy beaches, fringed with hard and soft coral and crystal-clear waters that are awash with a variety of sea life.

Upon arrival at Koh Ngai, we check-in to your overnight accommodation and spend the afternoon at leisure to explore this tropical island paradise.

Today’s island-hopping adventure takes us to more of the simply sumptuous spots that dot the Andaman Sea. We head from Koh Ngai to the small islands of Koh Mah and Koh Chuak. Both islands comprise incredible rock formations and sheer cliffs, meaning there is no beach but its rocky base attracts an incredible array of marine life, making it a full of fantastic snorkelling spots. The waters here are home to a colourful underwater world with a variety of tropical fish and soft corals. After spending some time exploring the islands, we will return to Koh Ngai, where you will have the afternoon at your leisure to kick back and relax, swim in the sea, enjoy local snacks, or soak up the scenery during a stroll along the beach ahead of our final day.

We recommend waking up early to start the day with a sublime sunrise before enjoying a final hearty breakfast overlooking powder white sands that contrast with the azure seas.

We take a traditional long-tail boat to the pier and then transfer to a public speedboat to sail back to the island of Koh Lanta, where we arrive at Baan Saladan Pier.

We then continue onward to mainland Krabi by public ferry, and upon arrival transfer to your overnight accommodation. This brings your six-day tour to an end, with the rest of the day to spend at leisure in this pristine province which is renowned for its beaches flanked by dramatic limestone cliffs and thick mangroves.
