About this tour
Escape the crowded reef circuits on this private boat excursion to Koh Rok and Koh Ha, two remote islands sheltered within Mu Ko Lanta National Park south of Koh Lanta. Over six to eight hours, you'll navigate waters so transparent they reveal vibrant coral gardens and schools of tropical fish, with seasonal whale shark encounters a real possibility. These lesser-trafficked islands deliver the snorkelling quality of Thailand's famous spots without the tourist congestion, backed by powdery beaches and a peaceful pace.
Highlights
- Crystal-clear waters reveal coral formations and abundant reef fish
- Whale shark sightings possible during season
- Private boat—no shared groups or crowded schedules
- Two islands in one outing with varied snorkelling sites
- White sand beaches and minimal crowds
- All snorkelling gear provided onboard
What to expect
You'll depart by private boat and cruise south into Mu Ko Lanta National Park, arriving at Koh Rok and Koh Ha within the morning. The water here sits among Thailand's clearest—visibility often exceeds 20 metres—revealing thriving coral systems and dense schools of damselfish, parrotfish, and snappers. You'll spend the bulk of the day in the water at designated snorkelling zones, with time ashore to wander the beaches or rest. Conditions are best between November and April. The journey is longer than other day trips from the mainland, but the payoff is tangible: fewer boats, healthier reefs, and genuine solitude.
Good to know
National Park entrance fees (500 THB adults, 250 THB children) are separate. Bring lunch or eat light snacks onboard; no restaurant facilities exist on the islands. Reef shoes or water sandals recommended. Sun protection essential—the reflection off water intensifies exposure. Currents can be strong; inform your guide of swimming confidence levels beforehand.
