Lanta Longtail offers you a popular low season activity

Escape from your bungalow and discover Lanta Yai’s eastern islands. Your tour with Mr. Sun at Lanta Longtail begins in historical Lanta Old Town, a real Thai village form where you climb aboard his 11 meters longtail boat to discover the unspoiled islands of Koh Nui and Koh Kum. You then continue on to thread the eye of the karst formations of Koh Talabeng and search for crab-eating monkeys clinging to the rocks. Lunch break is taken on Koh Bubu’s picturesque white sand beach. Or extend your trip and enjoy the tranquility of the peaceful mangrove forests and Klong Saladan – bird watchers will be in paradise...
