Island Snorkeling and Speedboat Tour

A full day trip, grab your swimsuit and suncream to get ready to see the ocean and explore a group of nearby islands! Feel the fresh ocean air while riding on the speed boat to the islands and snorkel around beautiful coral reefs. Enjoy a to-go lunch and plenty of snacks.

Jungle National Park: Mu Ko Lanta

Take a shuttle to the south of the island and enjoy the national park. With a local guide, learn about tropical plants and get the chance to see monkeys, lizards, and tropical birds. Relax on a beautiful secluded beach with a packed lunch and take a dip in the ocean to cool down.

NEARBY…

Soak up the sun on the beach! Swim and float in the calm warm ocean waters. Meditate on the abundant beauty that surrounds while talking long walks down the sand. Slurp coconut water from a fresh young coconut and delight in traditional Thai cuisine in a beach restaurant or bar. 

Walk down the main road of the island and find food kiosks where you can select your favorite made-to-order fresh fruit smoothie or pad thai. Shop for colorful Thai clothing or handmade silver jewelry. Get one (or many!) affordable Thai or oil massages at a massage parlor.

Feel the warm welcome of the locals and pick up a few words in Thai to say hello and express thanks!

ARRIVAL & DEPARTURE

Included in your retreat package is group shuttle transportation to/from the Krabi International Airport and the retreat center resort located on Koh Lanta Island. Krabi International airport is a 2-hour drive from Koh Lanta Island. The shuttles access the island by crossing over the water on a ferry boat. Take this moment to step off the shuttle and feel the ocean breeze!

Arrive by 11am on March 7th at Krabi International Airport to take the group shuttle. When arranging your flights, first book your international flight into one of Bangkok's airports, then book a domestic flight from Bangkok into Krabi International Airport.

The retreat ends at 11am March 14th. You can book your departure flight to leave from Krabi International Airport after 4pm on departure day.

It's very safe to travel through Thailand! Thai people are helpful and warm, and many of them speak English.
