The best thing about Koh Lanta is a day trip. For example, take a tour to the four islands to swim in the Emerald Cave of Koh Mook, or take a speedboat to the reefs of Koh Rok. Back on the island, you can ride a scooter to the lighthouse in Mu Ko Lanta National Park at the southern tip, then take a ferry to Lanta Old Town on the east coast and enjoy a late lunch overlooking the water. Be sure to watch the sunset from a beach on the west coast; it's breathtaking from every vantage point.

Supplement your activities with a walk to Khlong Chak Waterfall, an afternoon with the elephants at Following Giants, and a cooking class – that's a great way to fill five nights. Below you'll find nineteen suggestions, ordered by popularity, with prices and opening times, information on boat trips and their seasons, tips for activities in the rain, with children, and in the evenings, as well as recommendations you can safely skip.

    • Key facts

    The best days for boat trips are roughly from November to April.

    The tour to the Four Islands costs around 1,000 baht by longtail boat, while the trip to Koh Rok by speedboat costs around 1,600–2,200 baht. Koh Rok National Park is closed from June 1st to September 30th, and the Emerald Cave is usually closed during the same period.

    Rent a scooter, because Grab doesn't exist.

    Scooters cost around 200–300 baht per day, and the west coast road is flat by island standards. A tuk-tuk ride from Saladan to Kantiang costs around 400–800 baht.

    One parking ticket is valid for two attractions.

    Entry to Mu Ko Lanta National Park costs 200 baht for adults and 100 baht for children, plus 20 baht for a scooter. The same ticket also grants entry to Khlong Chak Waterfall on the same day.

    The island is long and narrow, so plan your trip in sections.

    Lanta is over 30 km long, with the Saladan Pier in the north and the lighthouse at the southern tip. Plan a day trip to the south (national park, Khlong Chak, Kantiang, elephants) and return to the old town on the east coast.

    Most of it is free.

    The beaches, sunsets, old town, weekend market, and pedestrian zone in Saladan are free. The money goes towards the boats, the park, and the elephants.

    September and October are the rainiest months.

    The Phuket weather station, which also covers Lanta, is recording an average of 350 mm to 336 mm of rain, compared to 24 mm in February. Many bars and bungalows are closing, and most boat trips are being cancelled.

    The 19 best things to do on Koh Lanta

    The order is based on how important each activity would be to me during a first five-night visit. The two boat trips are at the top of the list, as they are the most memorable days you'll experience. The island visits follow in the order I would plan them around these two days.

  • 1. Excursion to the Four Islands and the Emerald Cave, Trang Islands, south of Lanta – The perfect day trip: A full day by boat to four islands off the coast of Trang. The main reason for this excursion is the Emerald Cave on Koh Mook. Here, you swim 80 meters through a pitch-black tunnel – wearing a life jacket and using the guide's flashlight – and emerge into a green lagoon surrounded by cliffs. The rest of the day is dedicated to snorkeling at Koh Chueak and Koh Kradan, as well as lunch on Koh Ngai beach. The longtail boat trips cost approximately 1,000 baht and last seven to eight hours. The park fee is 200 baht for adults and 100 baht for children. The tides determine when the cave can be swum; the boatmen therefore adjust the departure times accordingly. In the early afternoon, the guides take groups of up to 40 people at a time through the cave. It's worth asking for a boat that arrives early. Getting there: Hotel pick-up or boat from Saladan. Best time to visit: Approximately November to April. The cave is usually closed from June to September. Emerald Cave (Tham Morakot) 4.7(74) Directions
  • 2. Koh Rok and Koh Haa, Mu Ko Lanta National Park, far south of Lanta. Excellent snorkeling conditions. Two uninhabited islands with the clearest water in the Lanta region, shallow reefs just a few meters deep teeming with anemonefish, moray eels, and angelfish, plus a buffet lunch on Koh Rok beach. Most excursions stop at the five rocky islands of Koh Haa along the way. Day trips by speedboat cost approximately 1,600–2,200 baht and last about eight hours. The park fee of 400 baht is added to most excursions, so please inquire beforehand. The park closes Koh Rok from June 1st to September 30th. During the transition period, rough seas can cause the morning boat trip to be canceled, so plan for an extra day. Getting there: Speedboat from Saladan with hotel pick-up. Best time to visit: November to April, on calm days. Koh Rok: 4.7 (436) – open 24 hours a day. Directions.
  • 3. Mu Ko Lanta National Park and Lighthouse, Southern Tip: Views and Jungle Hike. The white lighthouse sits atop a promontory overlooking two bays at the island's southern tip. Even the drive down is an experience, as langurs graze along the roadside. The final section is steep and winding, so a slow scooter ride is recommended. Follow the approximately 1.7 km (1.7 mi) nature trail through the forest with ocean views in a clockwise direction, as signposted. This way, you'll climb the steep section instead of sliding down it. Afterward, you can swim at the beach, which is patrolled by lifeguards. Two species of monkeys can be found on the trail and are quick to snatch unattended bags. Entrance costs 200 baht for adults and 100 baht for children, plus 20 baht for a scooter. Getting there: Drive to the end of the west coast road. Best time to visit: 8:30 a.m., before the worst of the heat. Mu Ko Lanta National Park, 4.4 (4346), daily 8:30–17:30. Directions.
  • 4. Lanta Old Town, East Coast, roughly halfway along the island. History and seafood right above the water. The island's original harbor, a street lined with wooden shophouses, many on stilts over the water, where Chinese, Muslim, Thai Buddhist, and Urak Lawoi families have lived side by side for generations. I've been to Lanta Old Town myself and would set aside half a day for this excursion if you're having a beach holiday on the island. Entry is free, and it takes two to three hours to explore. The best time to go is on weekends when the street market is open Saturdays and Sundays from 11:00 AM to 10:00 PM, or early Sunday morning for the local market from about 8:00 AM to 11:00 AM. My Lanta Old Town guidebook describes the walking tour step by step. Getting there: About 25 minutes by scooter across the island from Klong Dao or Long Beach. There is no bus service. Best time to go: Late afternoon and early dinner.
  • 5. Sunset on the West Coast: Khlong Khong, Long Beach, and Kantiang. Every evening. All of Lanta's main beaches face west, so the sun sets over the ocean everywhere. Khlong Khong is ideal for a drink, with a long line of beach bars, cafes, and massage huts right on the sand. It's best to swim there in the morning, as the tide goes out in the late afternoon, exposing the coral reefs. Long Beach has a steeper slope and is also suitable for swimming at low tide if you want to enjoy the sunset. Getting there: From any beach on the West Coast. Khlong Khong is located in the middle of the island. Best time to go: About an hour before sunset. Khlong Khong Beach: 4.4 (449), open 24 hours daily. Directions.
  • 6. A day trip by scooter along the south coast: Kantiang Bay, Nui Bay, and Bamboo Beach – the most beautiful beaches. The further south you go, the less crowded and more beautiful the beaches become. Kantiang Bay stretches for about 1 km of sandy beach between jungle hills and is about 25 minutes from Saladan. Nui Bay is a small, sheltered cove, accessible via a steep road, and is great for swimming and snorkeling. Bamboo Beach is the last beach before the national park. I would head south in the morning, swim at one of the beaches, visit the lighthouse, and then return through the old town. My Koh Lanta guidebook lists all the beaches from north to south and indicates which beach is best for whom. Getting there: By scooter or a tuk-tuk hired for the day. Best time to go: In the morning, before the day tourists arrive at Nui Bay. Kantiang Bay: 4.5 (603) – open 24 hours a day. Directions.
  • 7. The Following Giants Elephant Sanctuary is located on Klong Chak Waterfall Road in southern Thailand. Here, you can observe elephants without touching them. Eleven rescued elephants live on an 18-hectare (12-acre) wooded hillside property, which you can observe from a distance with a guide. Riding, bathing, feeding, and performances are prohibited. This makes it one of the strictest sanctuaries in the south and my top recommendation on Lanta Yai. The two-hour program costs 1,800 baht for adults and 1,000 baht for children, the half-day program 2,750 baht, and the full-day program 3,850 baht. Transfers are free on Lanta Yai. The paths are steep and therefore not suitable for people with limited mobility. Getting there: Free transfers on Lanta Yai. Book at followinggiants.net. Best time to visit: Mornings when it's cooler. Giants Koh Lanta Ethical Elephant Sanctuary (4.9 out of 5 stars, 2,323 reviews) Daily 8:00 AM–5:00 PM Directions
  • 8. Khlong Chak Waterfall, inland from Bamboo Beach, in the national park: Jungle hike and swimming opportunity. An approximately 2 km hike through the forest leads to a waterfall with pools for swimming. The path is marked but uneven, with wet stones and mud. Therefore, wear sturdy shoes and bring water and provisions, as there are no facilities. Entrance costs 200 baht or is free on the same day with your Mu Ko Lanta National Park pass. A guide at the parking lot costs an additional 200 baht and will take you to a cave and the spider nests along the path. Open from 8:30 am to 5:00 pm. The waterfall carries the most water during and shortly after the rainy season and is rather shallow towards the end of the dry season. Getting there: By scooter on the way to or from the park. Best time to visit: In the morning. The waterfalls carry the most water during and shortly after the rains. Khlong Chak Waterfall 4.0 (500 m) Daily 8:30–17:00 Directions
  • 9. Diving off Koh Haa and Hin Daeng, south of Koh Lanta: The lagoon and channels of Koh Haa offer easier dives, while the two deep rock pinnacles of Hin Daeng and Hin Muang are better suited for advanced divers. They are known for manta rays and occasionally whale sharks, and according to operators, the best time to dive is from about February to April. Two dives off Koh Haa cost approximately 3,240–3,600 baht, and off Hin Daeng and Hin Muang, approximately 4,240–4,700 baht, plus a parking fee of 600 baht per dive day. Dive schools are concentrated in Saladan, and some boats depart from Kantiang Bay. Getting there: Dive schools in Saladan and on the beaches offer a pick-up service from your hotel. Best time to travel: November to April. Phoenix Divers – Koh Lanta: Diving, freediving, snorkeling (4.9 out of 5 stars, 1,677 reviews). Open daily from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM. Directions.
  • 10. Lanta Animal Welfare, Sala Dan, in the north: Spend an hour with rescued cats and dogs. This non-profit shelter cares for the island's stray cats and dogs. During the approximately one-hour tour, you'll see the clinic and meet the animals. Visitors can also walk the dogs. A visit is worthwhile in any weather. Tours are conducted in small groups and require prior booking. Reserve your spot at lantaanimalwelfare.com and leave a donation to help fund the animals' care. Getting there: Take a scooter or tuk-tuk to Sala Dan. Best time to visit: Book a tour in the morning or early afternoon. Lanta Animal Welfare: 4.9 (2,388 reviews), Mon-Sat 10:00-12:00 and 13:00-16:00. Directions.
  • 11. Thai Cooking Class in Sala Dan and Klong Dao: On a rainy afternoon, the Lanta Thai Cookery School in Sala Dan offers a half-day cooking class featuring a variety of dishes, including vegan and vegetarian options. On some days, the class begins with a walk to the local market to buy ingredients. The school is open from 10:00 AM to 8:00 PM, and you eat what you prepare. The "Time for Lime" class starts with a cocktail-making workshop before the cooking begins. The school's rescue dogs are part of the experience. Both classes are very popular from November to April, so it's recommended to book a day or two in advance. Getting there: In Sala Dan, just a short drive from Klong Dao and Long Beach. Best time to go: Anytime. Morning classes allow you to spend the afternoon at the beach. Lanta Thai Cookery School: 5.0 (474 ​​reviews), daily 10:00 AM–8:00 PM. Getting there: [Information missing]
  • 12. Mangrove Kayaking, Thung Yee Peng, Northeast – A relaxing half-day. The east coast is covered in mangrove forests, and in Thung Yee Peng, about 10 km north of the Old Town, local guides take visitors kayaking through the narrow channels. Forest walks are also available. Kayak Cafe & Mangrove Tour operates tours from a cafe in the village, so check the times in advance as they vary depending on the season. Longtail boats also depart from the Old Town pier to Koh Talabeng, Koh Por, and Koh Bubu; arrange the price and pick-up time with the boatman beforehand. Getting there: Take a scooter along the east coast road. Best time to go: Morning, before the worst of the heat. Kayak Cafe & Mangrove Tour 4.9 (266) Directions
  • 13. Khao Mai Kaew Cave, Inland, Central Lanta: A muddy adventure! A cave system deep in the island's jungle, which you can explore with a headlamp and a guide from the local family who care for the cave, for a few hundred baht. It's genuine exploration, not a lit show cave, so wear shoes and clothes that can get dirty. Getting there: By scooter, then a short walk. Best time to go: Morning, even in the rain. Tham Khao Mai Khew 4,6 (247) Mon–Thu 9:00–16:30, Fri 13:30–16:30, Sat–Sun 9:00–16:30. Directions
  • 14. A Thai massage, Sala Dan, and every beach: After a day on the water, massage huts can be found on every beach, and in Khlong Khong, they line up one after another. For an authentic traditional Thai massage, Faikham Lanta in Sala Dan is highly recommended and frequently mentioned in reviews. It's open daily from 10:00 AM to 9:30 PM, making it perfect after a boat trip. Advance booking is advisable during peak season. Getting there: From Sala Dan or your beach hut. Best time to go: In the evening after a day on the water. Faikham Lanta Traditional Thai Massage: 4.9 (1,166 reviews), daily 10:00 AM–9:30 PM. Directions.
  • 15. Saladan's Pedestrian Zone (Sala Dan) at the Pier: A budget-friendly dinner spot. The village by the pier transforms into a night market in the evenings, with stalls selling clothing and souvenirs, an open-air barbecue area, and restaurants over the water. Noodles, satay, and curries are available from around 40 baht. The market operates at least during the high season, so outside of peak season, check with your hotel to find out which evenings it's open. Getting there: Take a tuk-tuk or scooter to Sala Dan. Best time to visit: Evenings from around 5:00 PM.
  • 16. Fire show at a beach bar, Kantiang Bay and Long Beach. An evening on a tranquil island. Koh Lanta's nightlife consists of beach bars, and the fire shows are the highlight. At the Why Not Bar in Ba Kantiang, a short walk from Pimalai, live music starts around 8:30 pm, followed by the fire show. Main courses cost around 150–250 baht. Long Beach has the most bars, which stay open late. My Koh Lanta nightlife list contains the remaining recommendations. Getting there: Stay nearby or book a tuk-tuk for the return trip. Best time to visit: After 8:30 pm. Why Not Bar: 4.3 (1,464 reviews), $$$$, daily 11:00 am–2:00 am. Directions.
  • 17. Yoga, Klong Dao and surrounding area: Longer stays. Lanta is ideal for guests planning a longer stay, and yoga is a must. Oasis Yoga Bungalows on Klong Dao offers daily classes for all levels. The bungalows are located on the same grounds, and you'll find posters advertising classes all over the island. Getting there: Klong Dao, in the north. Best time to go: Early morning. Oasis Yoga Bungalows: 4.8 (197) Directions
  • 18. A night on Koh Jum, the next island to the north. Even quieter. Koh Jum is a small island between Lanta and the coast of Krabi, even quieter and better suited for an overnight stay or two than a day trip. During high season, some boats from Saladan stop there, and my Koh Jum guidebook knows the various options. Getting there: By boat from Saladan during high season. Best time to visit: November to April.
  • 19. Muay Thai training, near Sala Dan. Morning classes: Lanta Muay Thai Complex offers classes with Thai instructors at a comfortable pace for beginners. Classes are held in the morning and late afternoon, leaving your lunchtime free for the beach. Just drop in or purchase a weekly pass. Getting there: By scooter, just a few minutes from the pier. Best times to train: Morning or late afternoon. Lanta Muay Thai Complex, 4,9 (121), daily 7:00 AM–8:00 PM. Directions.

    • Koh Lanta: Sights, opening hours and prices at a glance

    Opening hours are taken from Google listings for the respective locations in our records and may vary on Thai holidays and during the off-season. Parking fees correspond to the published prices of the national park. Tour prices are approximate and may vary depending on the operator.

    Boat trips from Koh Lanta and their departure times

    Two excursions offer glimpses into the most beautiful marine areas around Lanta, and I would recommend doing both during a five-day stay. The Four Islands excursion takes you south to the Trang Islands with the Emerald Cave, Koh Ngai, and its snorkeling spots. The Koh Rok excursion goes further out by speedboat to the crystal-clear waters and reefs, with Koh Haa usually passing by along the way. For the more affordable but leisurely Four Islands excursion, I recommend a longtail boat, while for the Koh Rok trip, I suggest the speedboat, as the route goes quite far out.

    The season is more important than the tour operator. The national park closes Koh Rok from June 1st to September 30th, and the smaller islands from May 16th to October 14th. Since tour operators offer their trips at slightly different times, they generally run from November to April. From mid-October, the island-hopping speedboat departs from Bundhaya, traveling south from Saladan to Koh Ngai, Koh Mook, and Koh Kradan. This allows you to spend an overnight stay on one of the islands instead of just a day trip. On Koh Kradan, snorkeling in Ao Niang is recommended, as the reef off the main beach has been closed to snorkelers since 2024.

    The beaches of Koh Lanta

    Lanta's west coast consists of a long stretch of beaches, the character of which changes towards the south. Khlong Dao, a roughly 3 km long beach with shallow, calm waters near Saladan, is ideal for small children. Long Beach is the liveliest beach with the most restaurants and offers the best swimming conditions. Khlong Khong attracts visitors with its beach bars and stunning sunsets, but is rocky at low tide. Kantiang, Nui Bay, and Bamboo Beach in the south are among the most beautiful and tranquil beaches.

    My Koh Lanta travel guide lists all beaches in order from north to south, including accommodation recommendations, and the list of the best beaches in Koh Lanta contains a ranking of all the beaches described.

    Things to do on Koh Lanta when it rains

    From May to October, the sea off the west coast is rough, most boat trips are canceled, and many bars and bungalows close. Therefore, plan your island holiday around the sea rather than the ocean. The restaurants in the old town and the weekend market are open year-round and are among the best things to do on Lanta, especially on rainy days. A visit to Khao Mai Kaew cave, a cooking class, the Lanta Animal Welfare organization, and a relaxing massage are also options even in the rain.

    Khlong Chak Waterfall carries the most water during the rainy season; therefore, it's best to visit between downpours. The elephant sanctuaries remain open. Koh Rok and the Emerald Cave are closed from June to September.

  • #6 Lanta Lazy Days Bungalows 4.7 (332 reviews) Rustic bungalows in a relaxed beachfront hotel with a restaurant, garden, and free Wi-Fi. Check prices

    • Things to do in Koh Lanta with children

    Lanta is one of Thailand's most child-friendly islands, as the northern beaches are shallow and calm during the season, and the island as a whole is very peaceful. Khlong Dao is an ideal base for excursions with particularly gentle waters, while the south is better suited for day trips. The lighthouse beach in the national park is supervised by lifeguards, and the monkeys along the hiking trail can be easily observed from a distance, as long as no one is carrying food.

    Following Giants charges 1,000 baht for children for its two-hour program, and the Lanta Animal Welfare tour is short enough for young children. Boat trips last seven to eight hours, and the four-island tour involves swimming through a dark cave, so I would recommend these excursions for older children who are good swimmers. The guidebook "Thailand's Best Beaches for Families" compares Lanta to other family-friendly beaches.

    Things to do in Koh Lanta at night

    The nights on Lanta are quiet, and that's precisely what makes it so appealing. Dine on Walking Street in Saladan or at a restaurant right on the beach, and afterwards enjoy a fire show at a beach bar, for example at Why Not on Ba Kantiang from around 8:30 pm, or on Long Beach, where most bars stay open late into the night.

    On weekends, the market in the old town is open until 10:00 PM, but after dark the street is quiet and Pinto, the highest-rated restaurant there, closes at 9:00 PM. My list of nightlife on Koh Lanta includes the beach bars.

    What you should skip

    From June to September, you should avoid Koh Rok and the Emerald Cave, as the park closes these sites during this time. During the shoulder seasons, do not book a boat tour without an extra day, as it may be canceled in the morning due to rough seas. Also, avoid a trip to Khlong Chak towards the end of the dry season when the water level is at its lowest.

    Do not book any elephant program that includes riding or bathing. With Following Giants, touching the elephants is strictly prohibited – and that's the whole point of the trip. Also, avoid snorkeling at Koh Kradan's main beach, which has been closed to snorkelers since 2024 to allow the coral reefs to recover.

    How many days and where should you stay overnight?

    Five nights are plenty. One day for the Four Islands, one for Koh Rok, one day by scooter south to the national park, Khlong Chak, Kantiang, and the old town on the way back, and two days on the beach with a cooking class or elephant watching. For a first visit, Long Beach or Khlong Dao are recommended, as they have the most restaurants and the shortest route to the boats, or the quieter area south around Kantiang.

    The van journey from Krabi airport takes two to three hours and costs approximately 400–540 baht. My Koh Lanta travel guide contains more detailed information on hotels, boat connections from Phuket and Phi Phi, and the weather.

    Plan the rest of your trip.

    Frequently Asked Questions

    Frequently asked questions about activities in Koh Lanta.

    Long, quiet beaches on the west coast with daily sunsets, a relaxed lifestyle ideal for families and longer stays, and boat trips to the Emerald Cave on Koh Mook and the reefs of Koh Rok. It's not a party island.

    The excursion to the four islands includes an 80-meter swim through the Emerald Cave into a hidden lagoon, snorkeling, and lunch on Koh Ngai. The longtail boat trip costs approximately 1,000 baht. For snorkeling alone, the reefs of Koh Rok are better suited.

    From approximately November to April. The national park closes the island from June 1st to September 30th, and during the transitional months, rough seas may cause the speedboat trips to be cancelled on that day.

    Some snorkeling spots are located in Nui Bay and off the rocks near Ba Kantiang, but the best snorkeling spots are offshore, near Koh Rok, Koh Haa and the Trang Islands, which can be reached by boat.

    The beaches and sunsets, Lanta's old town with its weekend market, the pedestrian zone in Saladan, and the morning markets. The national park and Khlong Chak waterfall cost a combined 200 baht if visited on the same day.
