Koh Lanta dive operators have close access to the dive sites at Koh Phi Phi, Ko Ha, Ko Rok, Hin Daeng and Hin Muang. Dive site names tend to reflect the scenery and marine life of the area, with names like Shark Point, Anemone Reef and the King Cruiser Wreck. Pinnacles Hin Deang and Hin Muang often play host to manta rays and whale sharks and are considered to be two of the best dive sites in Thailand.

To explore Koh Lanta, hire a car, rent a bike, or go with a local guide. Tours by small minibus will give you an insight into the local area, stopping at rubber plantations, taking a short kayaking tour through the mangroves and visiting local sea gypsy villages. Direct Flights International can help you with cheap car hire and transfers, as well as provide you booking options for local Koh Lanta destination activities.
In the middle of the island lies Tham Khao Mai Kaew, an interesting cave complex with stalactites, stalagmites and a cavern pool.
Daily paddle trips through the fascinating world of the mangrove forests and local caves are a magic way to enjoy the scenic attractions. The mangroves are seen as especially important due to their biodiversity and ecological significance. Sea canoeing trips are also available to other areas of the province and
Phang Nga Bay's limestone seascape. As in many island areas of Thailand, every island has its own character in the Koh Lanta area. Some are inhabited, others just provide anchorage for fishing boats. Some are rocky inaccessible outcrops with an exciting undersea world beneath, other islands have beautiful beaches, mountains, waterfalls and mangroves. Take your pick...
Go on an island hopping day trip. The Emerald Cave at Koh Muk is a popular spot. Taking a snorkelling or dive trip is an excellent way to see some of the islands above and below the water. If you want to plan a more ambitious itinerary, take the regular ferries that run between Ko Lanta, the mainland and the neighbouring Phi Phi islands. Travel to each island and neighboring village separately, or use Direct Flights’ travel package option to make the most of your Koh Lanta holiday.
