★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 507 reviews · 7 hours · from $35Our pick

A 7-hour long-tail boat island day in Koh Lanta with snorkeling, Morakot Emerald Cave, a green lagoon swim-through, and Thai beach lunch.

“An amazing day trip with a good amount of time spent at each stop. Beautiful beaches, great snorkelling spots and the cave was incredible. Hosts were all very friendly and the curry for lunch was delicious. Highly recommended. If you are prone to seasickness I suggest bringing some medication to help as it can get quite choppy”

2.4 Islands Snorkeling Tour by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 297 reviews · 6 hours · from $31

Four islands by longtail boat near Ko Lanta, clear snorkels, a Morakot Emerald Cave swim, and a beach buffet lunch at Koh Ngai.

“The emerald cave was stunning however to enter you basically jump into the sea(which was quite rough on our day!) then you follow the guide by basically bobbing/swimming into the dark cave they have flash lights and then you appear in this magical area. There were a few big boats at the same time as us so it was a bit chaotic trying to keep an eye on where your guide was!! If you are not a confident swimmer then I wouldn’t recommend. The snorkelling spots were ok but very cloudy. A lot of long tail boats at the same time. You do all your snorkelling and swimming first then…”

5.Emerald Cave & 4 Islands Snorkel Tour by Longtail

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 95 reviews · from $28Best value

Longtail tour from Koh Lanta to Emerald Cave and 4 islands, with hotel pickup, snorkel gear, beach lunch, and a lagoon swim.

“A good day out. Unfortunately the Emerald Cave which promised to be the highlight (based on others' reviews) was packed full of school trips and other tourists; which the tour company cannot control so is not their fault. When entering and exiting the cave there was so many people swimming through that you were constantly being kicked and at risk of being pushed under as rude individuals did what they wanted, rather than wait patiently - feeding this back just to help prepare other tourists for what to expect. The first snorkel spot was perfect; very clear water, saw lots of fish and not many people. The second spot; the…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 77 reviews · 8 hours · from $34

Ko Lanta Emerald Cave and 4 Islands by longtail boat. Snorkel coral, swim into Emerald Cave, picnic on Koh Ngai, feed fish.

“Once we booked with GYG, we got a direct number to WhatsApp the local company. They were fantastic! As we had a small baby with us, they suggested changing the date so the sea would be less choppy - at no expense. A great choice, as although still quite a wild ride, it would have been horrendous in bad weather! The guides were lovely, and great value for money.”

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 21 reviews · 8 hours · from $51

Speedboat tour of 4 islands with snorkeling, Koh Mook Emerald Cave at low tide, beach lunch, and hotel pickup in Koh Lanta.

“Liian kiire joka paikassa ja liikaa ihmisiä. Opas epäselvästi kertoi ajan paikoissa. Snorglaus paikkassa ei mitään katsottavaa ja ihmisiä todellakin liian paljon. Vieri vieressä kymmeniä ihmisiä pienellä alueelle . Ja vielä opas unohti laskea porukat kun lähdettiin luola uinilta ja yksi asiakas jäi matkasta. kuski huomasi virheen ja äkkikäännös takaisin luolille. Mies löytyi luolien edestä ja onneksi oli pelastusliivit päällä, mutta paikalla oli enään kaksi pitkähäntävenettä. Todella huonoa asiakaspalvelua.”

12.Emerald Cave, Ko Kradan & 4 Islands by Speedboat

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 13 reviews · from $61

Speedboat tour from Koh Lanta to Emerald Cave, Koh Kradan and 4 islands, with snorkeling and beach buffet, plus hotel pickup.

“Of course, such a tour is very touristy. However, our guide managed to avoid the crowds of tourists and we had the beautiful beaches and snorkeling spots to ourselves. We also received interesting information, a delicious lunch (cooked by the guide's wife) and plenty of time to explore. It is also much better to choose a speedboat because otherwise you spend a lot of time driving from one spot to another. There were about 40 people on the boat. I can recommend this tour”
