5 Boat Tours in Ko Lanta Worth Booking

1.4 Islands and Emerald Cave Tour by Longtail Boat

★★★★★★★★★★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 $31Best value

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…”

Ko Lanta to Phi Phi by speedboat for Maya Bay photos, Monkey Beach snorkeling, Bamboo Island lunch, and Ko Phi Phi Don time.

“Well organized and very friendly crew! The islands are not as crowded as I expected. Of course there were many tourists but it was well organised and Maya Bay definitely is worth the visit. The crew made sure we had enough time to see the spots and we saw lots of pretty fish when snorkeling.”

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
