Some of Thailand’s most beautiful islands are revealed on this six-day exploration. The adventure begins with a ferry cruise from Krabi to Koh Lanta where we overnight. Next day, it is time to head off to idyllic Koh Mook where we visit the island’s top attraction, the Emerald Cave. After overnight on Kok Mook and some exploration, early next morning we head to Koh Kradan, a car-free, tropical paradise. On day four, we take a speedboat to nearby Koh Ngai where we can lounge on the sands or swim over corals teeming with colourful fish. Up early, we head to the small islands of Koh Mah and Koh Chuak to enjoy more exposure to pristine environments, including incredible rock formations and sheer cliffs. On the final day, we enjoy a return journey aboard long-tail boats and a ferry cruise to the Krabi mainland where this excellent adventure concludes.
Day 1
Krabi – Koh Lanta
Travellers seeking sun, sand and tropical island life will love this six-day exploration of picture postcard Thai islands. The first day sees us sail from Krabi to Koh Lanta by public ferry (approximately 70 km).

Koh Lanta archipelago is home to 52 islands that sit in the south of Krabi province. The island of Koh Lanta offers a peaceful alternative to more popular island destinations, such as Phuket and boasts coral-fringed shores, jungle-clad mountains, dense jungle and plenty of deserted white stretches of sand lapped by clear turquoise waters. You can choose to relax in your room, head to the beach, explore the natural surroundings, or take a refreshing dip in the sea. Overnight at Koh Lanta.

CORPORATE RESPONSIBILITY
Travel breaks down borders and brings people together: The nearly 900 million people who travel every year make the sector one of the biggest in the world, a major employer and a key element in the global economy. But this has its downside, too: increasing pollutant emissions from the tourist traffic, loss of coastlines and other landscapes through excessive building development and sexual exploitation of children are just some of the negative consequences of the growth in global tourist travel. In order to minimize the negative impacts and enhance the positive ones, our Corporate Responsibility Strategy focuses on four prime issues:
- We increase efforts to ensure that children and adolescents in tourist areas are protected against sexual exploitation, one of the worst forms of abuse of young people today.
- We promote fair working conditions and sensibly service provider partners to social and environmental concerns.
- The supply and saving of clean water is a further key issue.
- We develop our own projects to meet the growing threat posed by climate change. Indeed, helping counter the adverse effects of global warming is one of the biggest challenges faced by the world tourist.
