Canoe Kayak
          Koh Lanta has beautiful green scenery on the island and traveling on a canoe is a great way to explore the mangrove forest, rice paddies and intriguing caves. It is easier to join a tour for a one day-trip. Usually the adventure starts at Hua Hin Pier. You will canoe through the jungle bypassing Koh Rah Poo Don where the view includes cliff, limestone formation and caves. You will have lunch on the beach and start to paddle again to Koh Pang, a small island with a large cave inside—if you’re not afraid of bats, it can be extremely fun. The sightseeing includes other interesting explorations such as stalactites, crossing the seashore of Koh Pang and Koh Rah Poo Lay before returning to Hua Hin Pier. A trip like this should not be more than BHT1,000 per person. The best place to enjoy Kayaking is around Koh Talabeng. Try Lanta Sea Kayak (Tel: 075-684-397).

Boat and Speedboat
          Boat trips can be arranged from the hotels and resorts you are staying. But if you want to book directly. Lanta Garden Hill Speed Boat (Tel: 075-684-042), which is owned by Lanta Garden Hill, can take you out in the sea with their boats. The trips can be tailored to your desire whether it’s island hopping you have in mind or a romantic candlelight dinner in the middle of the sea. Expect to pay at least BHT3,000 for a speedboat trip. For a more affordable longtail boat trip, go to the pier in Lanta Village Old Town where a few longtail boats are constantly parked there to take you on the island trips, even during the low season. If you don’t go on a snorkelling trip with a dive center, you can snorkel on your own by arranging a private trip with Lanta Princess (Tel: 075-684-188) that can take you to snorkeling points such as Koh Muk, Koh Kradan, Koh Ngai, Koh Chuek and Koh Phi Phi.
