Top Ko Yao Yai Nature and Wildlife Tours

It’s easy to book a trip to a secluded island getaway – like the Ko Yao islands in Phang Nga Bay – without organizing trip back to the mainland. Instead of assuming you’ll be able to book something with the locals when you arrive, avoid a potentially sticky situation and secure your transfer in advance. Take a speedboat from Ko Yao Yai or Ko Yao Noi to Ao Nang, in Thailand’s Krabi province. Make the crossing in under an hour, leaving you with free time to explore Ao Nang.

Beat the crowds with an early morning departure and be among the very first boats to arrive at the Phi Phi Islands. Enjoy the rare opportunity to see Maya Bay, where the movie “The Beach” was filmed, without the crowds, along with other popular spots, including Pileh Lagoon, Viking Cave, and Monkey Beach. After swimming, snorkeling, and exploring the islands, refuel with a delicious buffet lunch and unlimited soft drinks.

Satisfy an appetite for adventure on a tour that combines white-water rafting with an ATV ride through the jungle. The perfect choice for thrill seekers in Phuket, this tour is suitable for all levels of experience and is limited to a small group of 10 participants to maximize safety. You’ll receive comprehensive safety briefings for both activities and avoid the stress of finding a start point with included hotel pickup and drop-off.

Famed for azure waters and white sand beaches, the Phi Phi Islands are a major hotspot for visitors to Thailand. But being stuck on a crowded tourist boat can spoil their beauty. This intimate door-to-door tour, with no more than 18 travelers in total, gets you to the hotspots early, ahead of the crowds, and finishes with lunch at the upscale Soho Pool Club.

Discover parts of Phuket that you can’t reach by traditional tour vehicle on a jungle tour by bamboo raft and on an ATV. Increase your chances of spotting rare flora and fauna as you float through the estuaries of the Phang Nga jungle and visit Suwankuha Temple (Monkey Cave), where you’ll delve deeper into Thai culture.

Explore the natural treasures of Phang Nga Bay on this full-day boat adventure from Phuket. Snorkel at Khai Island, get paddled around on a kayak past the limestone cliffs and inside the ancient caves of Hong and Panak islands, swim and soak up the sun on Lawa Island, and see the iconic James Bond Island filming locations. All equipment, a lunch, refreshments, and round-trip hotel transport are included for a hassle-free island escape.
